If you are looking to get into cyber security, specifically administration and feel you would like a base of information the SSCP is, that would be in my opinion, worth obtaining. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSCP is geared towards Security Administration for various career paths. There are a couple of items you need to know to assist in studying for the Certification. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First things first, you should know the requirements for the exam:</span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-205a4d54-7fff-1930-dac2-00dc2c80d4d9"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have 1 year experience</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-205a4d54-7fff-1930-dac2-00dc2c80d4d9"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Register for the exam</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-205a4d54-7fff-1930-dac2-00dc2c80d4d9"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pass the exam</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-205a4d54-7fff-1930-dac2-00dc2c80d4d9"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Subscribe to the code of ethics and get an endorsement</span></span></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With that being said it should be relatively easy to support those requirements if you are already working in the field. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Anyone going for this cert also must be familiar with the 7 Domains. These domains will cover areas that you should be familiar with if you are working as an entry level tech person even. In the instance you are not familiar with the domains, you can visit </span><a href="https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/SSCP" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/SSCP</span></a><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to get a study guide for the cert. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While each Domain covers a separate topic, the Domains will overlap. If you are more of a kinesthetic learner, hands on training maybe the way to go for you. If you are an auditory learner, Getting a kindle version of the companion book would be a great idea. If you are a visual learner, you would do well with videos Available from ISC2 and/or Youtube. And finally if you like to learn by reading and writing, you will do well with the Book and writing the information and reviewing. For me, I used a varied approach to studying, I watched various videos for the domain I was studying that week then read multiple chapters while taking notes. During my workout times, I would listen to the audio of the domains. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One other thing I thought was beneficial, creating my own videos and audio based on my notes. With this method, i found i was able to retain more information versus when i was just watching other videos about the topics.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now if you find that it's a bit more time consuming to create your own content to study from, by all means pick a method that will help you achieve your goal. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I took a couple of months to study for this exam. I already had a good base from working in the IT field for quite some time. If you don’t have the previous experience, get out and volunteer (virtual is also an option). Volunteering when I didn't have the most experience also helped. I would lend my knowledge out to companies who needed assistance with basic things like email, website and basic computer skills training. I met tons of people who helped with my skills development along the way. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One other big Study Tip, take a break and relax. Give yourself time to digest the material. Rest your brain in between the topics. Information overload can cause you to ultimately doubt what you learned. It's Ok to take a break. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have confidence in your abilities. Work on a plan that works for you. And if needed, create your own roadmap. And above all Rest.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hopefully these types will allow you to work on your SSCP cert.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span>Dionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14667269184942584856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908429742745156960.post-49561310680789002912019-12-01T18:35:00.001-05:002020-07-05T13:29:49.040-04:00The Forest<br />
<br />
Ever wonder what it's like to fight of Cannibals? NO… Me either. But if you are definitely looking for something in the survival relm The Forest is just that. In the opening scenes you are thrust into plane crash. Once you come to you have to figure out where to go and what to do. The hardest part for me in the game is basically the basics. Shelter, Fire, food, and water. Exploring the landscape is a necessity if you want to survive some of your resources won’t be readily available. You will need to look for them, build them and even scavenge them from nearby wreckage. <br />
<br />
I did some exploring near the area and noticed cannibals seem to be interactive near the crater. Basically if you set up camp here you will be attacked and dragged off (learned this the hard way). You can play the game in several different modes. I played it in peaceful mode to get the lay of the land after playing it on normal and unsuccessfully getting beat up by some cannibals near that crater I was talking about earlier. One other big quilm I have with the game is the lighting. You are thrust into darkness if you don’t immediately build a fire and night creeps up. The only other light source you have is from the lighter, and the light from the lighter is definitely not sufficient. <br />
<br />
You are provided a survival guide which serves two purposes. One is to provide with objectives and the other is to provide guidance and help with building. Honestly I do wish the lighting was better as well as some of the clear objectives. It isn’t as clear as you would think. Graphics for me are ok. The cannibals are more monolithic monsters versus actual people that are eating people. Overall I will keep posting as I progress through the game.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">AFROPUNK Brooklyn, what an experience to behold. AFROPUNK put on a plethora of performances from Up and coming to well known artist. Vendors provided everything from clothing to food to hair braiding. There was so much love at this festival! Anyone who attended could have felt right at home. One of the largest Themes at AFROPUNK was NO HATE. Basically all are accepted and welcome as uniquely as they are. The environment was as welcoming, pleasant and just love. </span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-d19ffd42-43c3-2236-f7f0-2dbdccff6128" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The festival was slated to open at 12:00 but most people weren’t let in until close to 1:30ish. Being as though it was a bit late on the let in, I strongly suggest grabbing some food or a drink or two beforehand. The first performance attended for me was </span><a href="https://soundcloud.com/leikeli47" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leikeli47</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. I had heard her music before on SoundCloud and loved it. Seeing her live performance at AFROPUNK solidified my fandom for her and her artistic style. Other artist such as Sampha and Sza performance electrified the crowds. Soul II Soul and Macy Gray performed beautiful sets of familiar music. Jorja Smith brought some of her UK sound to swoon us. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The larger performances where the highlights of the nights. Solange (Saturday) and Raphael Saadiq (Sunday) performed notable songs from their hit albums, (not together, although that would have been dope). Solange performed a few songs from her album ‘Seat at the table’. The area was simply put, packed to the brim with people wanting to get a glimpse of her beautiful performance. Solange performance was captivating and enthralling Saadiq has written/composed/performed on quite a few of our favorite R&B hits on various artist including Solange’s albums. By the way Saadiq’s career has spanned over 30 years over 100s of records. During his set he did a wonderful medley with his band often going from vocals to various instruments and often stopping to appreciate the sea of bodies cheering him on. Everyone who turned up to perform was by far all dope, other sprises included special guest who we were just as stoked to see were Talib Kweli performing ‘Get By’ and Miguel (although didn’t perform but was definitely a pleasant surprise.) </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">AFROPUNK was just the right type of setting, with the right type of music, art and love we expected and needed Over the weekend. Definitely looking forward to the next event!</span></div>

Take Over<span style="font-size: large;">We all have seen the movies. You know the ones that just so happen to display the world being ran by a robots who have suddenly or over time gained their own autonomy i.e. The Terminator, The Matrix, and iRobot. To date we haven’t had a world wide take over by our technological creations but it feels inevitable. Recently Facebook had to shut down there AI system because of its decision to make a “more efficient” language to communicate with other AI systems. Now that may not be much of an Alarm for Mark Zuckerberg but similar to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/01/28/bill-gates-on-dangers-of-artificial-intelligence-dont-understand-why-some-people-are-not-concerned/?utm_term=.a25cba3d9161">Bill Gate’s viewpoint</a>, Elon Musk simply thinks this is a bad idea. <br /><br />I am inclined to believe Elon on this one. Elon has been heading up projects to transform transportation here on earth and in outer space. He has been in the business of Technology for quite some time. Both men have opposing viewpoints but what would happen if AI did take over? Would it be beneficial to the human race or would humans become the target of annihilation? Automation has been a goal of the human race since the dawn of time. Having benefits without having to lift a finger is well within sight. This could be a disaster in the making. Or it could just be what it is a big help. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/70359-facebook-shuts-down-ai-system-after-invents-own.html">Facebook shuts down AI system after it invents own language</a></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The Long awaited Netflix series Marvel’s The Defenders has finally launched. Let the binge watching commence! </div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me Preface this with I love to see the villains that Marvel introduces when adapting characters for screen. We have our main stay villains who are the ones we know and then there are villains that we don’t know as well. Sometimes these characters are created in the process of retelling of a story. And sometimes they are existing gems re-polished into dynamic characters. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sigourney Weaver is definitely one of those villains I love. She plays Alexandra Reid. And then we also have Electra who is not necessarily a villain but more of a villain's pawn (at first), The hand of course and some others sprinkled in there Alexandra is seeking the ability to get back to K’un L’un with her counterparts. In doing that she has to use ‘The Black Sky’ aka Electra. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Converging on New York to stop an impending doom are 4 super heroes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Immortal Iron Fist and our resident Bulletproof hero Luke Cage. They are all connected to each other through this impending doom. Each hero brings their own strengths and weaknesses to the fight. My only issue with the show is not so much the premise but specifically with Danny Rand’s character. He is very whiny. He is basically hellbent on revenge for his parents while spouting he is the immortal iron fist and seeking justice. Which I don’t believe he is aware that he is like this. Don’t get me wrong, I think the writers did this on purpose to make a point to give him some growth points and that is fine and all but he gets very old very quickly. Plus everything is all his fault. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone else fits their roles in the group as they should. Luke Cage is fresh out of prison, Jessica Jones is back on the case and DareDevil is on Jessica’s case. There is plenty of mishaps and misunderstandings to go around. The fight scenes were ok. The transition and progression of the story was a bit slow moving and somewhat predictable in some places. The next season hopefully will be much better and a little less predictability.</div>

I was listening to a radio show today and they were discussing the whole Google incident. And one of their guess who who was the male informed that they have done studies macro studies metadata studies that determined that women cognitively are no different than men when it comes to logic and thinking. So for any man who was stating that this is the only reason why women should not be allowed in the technology field was complete bunk. Now I say all of this to say when I was in high school which I went to Western I had of computer science teacher who was a female I can't remember her name maybe one of my Western Dive know who she is. Who literally encouraged me to go into the technology failed because she said I had the mind for it. I appreciate the fact that that woman gave me that type of encouragement when nobody else thought I should have went into the Technology field for that she was the only person that I had even the counselors were skeptical of me going into technology because of how the field was stacked back then. Even till today it's the same thing. Women have an uphill battle. So I feel as though that being a woman in technology is a great thing I would encourage any other woman or female to do so. Our minds are not limited. I would love to see in the future even now of more women in technology and science in general and for the most part I think going forward that will be what will decrease the pay Gap, increase the number of minorities as well as women in that field itself. #techmesomething</p>

<span style="font-size: large;">Facebook is now up to 2 billion users. This is the largest and most used social media app reported by </span><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/27/facebook-2-billion-users/?utm_medium=TCnewsletter" style="font-size: x-large;">Tech Crunch</a><span style="font-size: large;"> yesterday. Nothing seems to be stopping this giant platform from succeeding in their new mission of positivity. In fact one could say it is actually doing rather well.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
So where does that leave all the other social media networks? Well, they are simply not as popular as the trends make them out to be at this time. Are we simply over connected at this point? Perhaps. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Facebook has been dominating the social network seen for quite some time. There doesn’t seem to be any slowing down at this point.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Awesome Con was hosted in Washington D. C. with quite a few persons of interest on the guest list and nothing short of amazing costumes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of the panels were full of information on various topics of interest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not to mention, the one and only Stan Lee himself was in attendance. </span><br />

We tend to think it won't happen to us but alas it happens. If you have found yourself in this situation there are a couple of things you can do: <br /><br />At the time of purchase or any time while you have the console: <br /><ul>
<li>Take pictures of and copy your purchase receipt, the console packaging, and the console itself </li>
<li>Store in a safe place (i.e. Google Drive, Onedrive, Dropbox, send to an email) </li>
<li>Update your home or apartment insurance company with photos </li>
<ul>
<li>Some insurance requires you to do this at the time of theft. </li>
<li>Some require it before </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br /><br />After a theft :<br /><ul>
<li>Make a police report </li>
<ul>
<li>Do this immediately </li>
</ul>
<li>They may be able to locate the device if it is online. </li>
<li>Contact your insurance company right away </li>
<ul>
<li>You may need to supply a police report </li>
<li>If covered it will be easier to replace. </li>

<br />Although most of the steps If not all should be done immediately this could save you some time and money in the long run. Consoles are cheap but not free, so keep track of that important information. <br /></span><br /><ol>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Evil Within is getting a sequel! If you have every played The Evil Within you know this game can get pretty gory and have some scary spots in it. Here is the synopsis of the first game:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead.<br />Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While the first game was awesome, The Evil Within 2 should be even better. This is the game from the same makers of ‘Resident Evil’ series Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks. The game is cinematic, the graphics are dark and horrifying, and not to mention the intriguing way to resolve your way out of this maze of death. Similar to the first game, Playing as Sebastian Castellanos are tasked with saving your daughter And of course the only way this will be accomplished is going back into STEM. Easy, right?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Evil Within 2 Drops in October 2017.</span><br />
