BrightTalk Seminars and Video's

Everything started last week when has been announced that a laptop stolen from NASA during last year contained command codes used to control the International Space Station. The news is sensations as worrying, is it possible to store so sensible information without using any precaution like disk encryption. Are we discussing about an isolated case or is it practices to leave  unattended so precious data? Hundred of security policies, millions of words spent on security, critical infrastructure defense and institutions responsible for ensuring high levels of homeland security, this seems really useless.

Aug 4, 2011 | Albuquerque, NM - Jay Bavisi, president of EC-Council and Leo A.

As reported by CNN, McAfee said the attacks, which it calls Operation Shady RAT, have allowed hackers potentially to gain access to military and industrial secrets from 72 targets, most of them in the United States, over a five-year period.

Be sure to watch the video for how the attack was conducted.

Here is an example of what we did in class today.  Since we don’t have a refrigerator; we had to post the picture on our home page. The students thoroughly enjoyed this classroom CISSP activity as one of their highlights of the day.  Rather than explaining 40 slides, we were able to tap into the professionalism of the class and explain the OSI model to each other from each student’s natural expertise.  The result was a very collaborative group structured improvement activity.   They were so proud of this and I'm proud of them.  I cant wait to see what we come up with tomorrow.

We are proud to release our Security+ Test Question Engine.  "Thanks to all the students" who've brought these questions forward for us to review.

Oregon court orders Google to turn over collected data from U.S.

Google has been accused on several occasions of being a monopoly and abusing its dominant position in the online search and advertising markets. So far, the company has escaped major investigations into its practices, but that may soon change.

Google announced in mid-May that it had discovered after a German regulatory authority asked for an audit of its data collection practices that it had accidentally captured Wi-Fi payload data. Google admits its Street View fleet captures SSID and MAC address data from protected Wi-Fi networks. Google still maintains that it captured the data accidentally and has not used the data in any Google products.

Later in May, a suit was filed against Google for capturing data from unprotected Wi-Fi networks in a Portland, Oregon court. Reuters reported that here have now been suits filed in courts in Washington D.C., California, and Massachusetts as well. On top of the suits pending against Google, the FTC has started an informal inquiry into the issue and today, Canada has announced that it is looking into the issue with an official investigation.

Canadian Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart said that she was concerned about the implications for privacy and that the only way to answer the lingering questions was to launch an investigation.

Stoddart said, "We have a number of questions about how this collection could have happened. We've determined that an investigation is the best way to find the answers."

Google still plans to cooperate fully with authorities in all countries where the WiFi data was captured. The suit filed in Oregon has lead to the court presiding over the case asking Google to make two copies of the data captured in the U.S. and turn them over to the court.

CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators.

CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, consists of two exams, LX0-101 and LX0-102. The exams cover system architecture; Linux installation and package management; GNU and Unix commands; devices, Linux filesystems, and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Professionals who pass the CompTIA Linux+ exam can work at the Linux command line, perform maintenance tasks, assist users, and install and configure workstations.

Earning CompTIA Linux+ is a stepping stone to vendor-specific training, such as Oracle Certified Associate and Novell SUSE Linux programs.

A new benefit for CompTIA Linux+ candidates is that they may choose, at the time they take the exams, to have their exam record forwarded to the Linux Professional Institute. Certification in CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, enables candidates to become certified in LPIC-1 as well, enabling further participation in the LPI program if the candidate chooses.  Any choice to forward a CompTIA Linux+ exam record to LPI is made only by the candidate.
