Audience Targeted

MCSE certification is ideal for professionals who currently work as system administrators or network engineers and are concerned with network security tasks. This certification will take them through a deep dive of understanding various concepts.

It is also important for any IT professional who typically uses software that is configured to use Windows Server environments. He/she will understand the logic behind the managed access and cloud services techniques.

Core Requirements

Once the candidate is ready for 70-744 exam, one should have understood the network security threats solutions. The exam needs the candidate to demonstrate the professional implementation of the CIA in a system.

It is also a basic requirement for the candidate to have the in-depth understanding of the different encryption techniques. This is one way of securing data by making it viewable to particular users who have the privileges to access.

How I Prepared for 70-744 Exam


I have worked in an IT company as a generalist of various IT tasks and I always hated this. I decided to get certified after I realized that I have a passion for studying Windows Server security and its general implementation. Despite the fact that I have been in the field, I had to start afresh as a novice learner in technology arena because I have not had a chance to see what specialist do in my place of work. I had to come up with a perfect approach that helped me to pass the exam without so much mental frustration as the certified do say. However, I am proud to share the techniques that I consider crucial to every candidate intending to do 70-744 exam or any IT exam elsewhere.
ü  Analyze the course outline- having known what you are needed to understand then it is easy to implement the concepts during your learning. Remember that the course outline is like a dictator to the examiners. They must play within the course outline or else the exam will be flagged invalid. The course outline is the only thing we share with the examiners.
ü  Set all tools- most of this certification exam involves a lot of practices that are accompanied by simulators/emulators. It is important that you set all these tools on standby before you begin your learning. It is important to always settle because you do not need to stop in search of some key requirements in the middle of your studies.
ü  Study in a noise-free environment- disturbances such as noise hinders your understanding. Let us take an example where you study in a TV room and your family members are having fun, you will have a big problem in figuring out the main concepts. The conducive environment to study is where it is quiet and calm.
ü  Conceptualize- whenever you learn any concept, try to figure out how the knowledge is implemented in the real world. Every IT concept is intended to solve a problem in the society. Your learning should be based on the current inventions you see and those which you imagine.
ü  Implement-the training always provides a sample implementation of every concept that you come across. It is your duty to put into practice every sample that is designed to enhance the understanding of a certain topic. In fact, the conclusion of the sample implementations is always tested as the exam is more of theory than practice.
ü  Believe in passing- if you go to an examenvironment without trusting yourself or being confident then you might fail at last. Lack of self-esteem is the key point that explains the failures that usually happen in the exam. Remember that some of the questions are only twisted to test your ability to tackle life's scenarios in IT arena.
Where to Learn
The provision of the learning materials is often facilitated by interested partners who also want to see technology being transformed by you. The best training materials are always considered to give the best performance. Successful IT specialists do recommend the candidates to train.
Digital Files
The revision that is done for an IT exam should remain digital in the sense that the method used should be technological rather than traditional methods. This involves the use of https://www.examcollection.com/70-744.html from VCE files that are opened by a programmed computer application called VCE exam simulator. It provides efficient revision which addresses challenges faced by individuals in IT field. A number of them are available on the internet. Communicate with candidates that have already passed this exam, they definitely know which sites are worth paying attention to while preparing for the exam.
Conclusion
Networking is a common term in every IT field because it ensures that there is efficient communication between links in the most secure manner. Receiving this certification is like having the backbone of technology in your hands. MSCE certification remains the best in networking.

The Top 4 TV Deals Besides Netflix

The Top 4 TV Deals Besides Netflix
Featuring thousands of shows and movies on its site, Netflix has taken the streaming world by storm since its founding in 1997, with nearly 7.5 million customers joining its customer base in the first quarter of 2018 alone.

However, while other TV streaming sites and bundles haven’t quite reached an iconic ‘Netflix and chill’ status, there are still some TV viewers that find themselves dissatisfied with what the popular streaming site alone can offer. Thus, many people have started looking into alternative options for streaming their favorite TV shows and movies online.

Luckily for them – and for you if you have similarly found the perks of Netflix alone to be underwhelming – there are other options.

Why Are Viewers Turning to Alternative TV Deals?

Although still able to boast its success as the #1 streaming platform worldwide, services and TV deals beyond Netflix have been gaining popularity in recent years as well.

This may be due to the increasing cost for most Netflix membership plans, which has made deals like Verizon triple play – which bundles gigabit connection, TV, and phone services – a relatively budget-friendly option to turn to.

Some people are also just ready to find some new content that hasn’t yet been added to world’s favorite streaming platform. While Netflix still has an impressive offering of media for viewing, for those with more specific tastes, or who are otherwise up for trying out the two to four-week trials offered by some popular alternative streaming networks, TV viewers have no shortage of television options.

In addition to Verizon’s Fios triple play deal, listed below are four other top contenders gaining popularity as Netflix alternatives.

Top Alternatives for TV Deals


1. Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is just one of the perks Amazon Prime members can gain access to when signing up for their prime membership account. However, the video service – now #2 to Netflix for streaming – can also be bought alone, without the prime membership, at a cost of $8.99 per month.

Amazon Prime Video features TV shows from dozens of channels, movies, as well as original content such as the popular shows “Man in the High Castle” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”.

2. Hulu

Hulu is another top TV and movie streaming platform, as a viewing option very similar to Netflix. Starting at $7.99 per month for its lowest-cost subscription (with an upgraded commercial-free plan available for $11.99) the pricing is similar to its top competitors.

One perk of this streaming platform is its feature of offering episodes of shows currently on air, typically allowing access to new episodes one day after airing on their respective networks. Hulu also now offers a Live TV package (at a pricier $39.99 per month), which allows users to live stream 50+ top live and on-demand channels, such as ESPN and popular news channels.

3. Acorn TV

For TV viewers in the United States who can’t get enough of the most popular British dramas and comedies, Acorn TV is an increasingly popular American streaming service providing viewer access to a myriad of TV shows from the UK as well as other countries.

At $4.99 a month, it can be an economical, commercial-free, on-demand TV deal for those still reeling over the end of Downton Abbey and who are looking for a new engaging British show to incite the same excitement.

Acorn TV is available to be streamed on several platforms, including Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, or simply your iPad or computer.

4. YouTube TV

Available at $35 a month, YouTube TV is a recent premium streaming service offered by YouTube featuring cable network streaming, live broadcast television, as well as shows from other popular entertainment, news, and sports networks. In other words, it’s basically a cable replacement, which might better explain the cost.

YouTube TV can be viewed on Google Chromecast, Android and iOS devices, tablets, and an Apple TV.

The importance of online safety while gaming

The importance of online safety while gaming
In the digital age, there is a general acceptance that being online carries with it certain risks. The majority of those risks are due to cybercrime and those criminal elements that will use every technique possible to gain access to your systems and platforms to create problems, and steal either money or data. However, no matter how secure we are on social media or cloud platforms, one area that many people lapse on in terms of security is that of gaming. Online games are big business, and with the billion dollar industry becoming increasingly popular, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the lax security that the majority grant to their gaming accounts. If you’re concerned about your levels of online safety, then here are the best place to strengthen your defenses.

The threat of anonymity

‘Never talk to strangers’ used to be the standard advice to all, but with online gaming, that advice has evaporated. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer playing the latest FPS against real players or a Clash of Clans fan defending against the hordes of the world, we now interact with strangers on an all too regular basis. When you add in the fact that the majority of gaming profiles are still anonymous, you have no way of knowing who you’re playing with, where they’re from, or what their intentions are. To keep your security at optimum levels then, it’s a good idea to treat your gaming time as you would if you were in an anonymous online chat room, meaning less is more when it comes to speaking out your life outside the gaming universe. For instance, never divulge any personal information about yourself or your location, and limit your conversation to that related to the game.

Reliable sourcing

There’s a prevailing belief that phishing scams are solely targeted at email and social media platforms, but gaming has opened up a whole new avenue for cybercriminals. The temptation when learning to play a new game and to take shortcuts and download cheats or additional content can be very enticing, which is why it’s essential that you only use content from authorized vendors and providers. This extends to the full range of online gaming options, from first-person shooters on your console to the latest online casino games. For those that do play online casino games, especially those that involve other real players, you can make use of reliable platforms like CasinoPros to ensure that you are only using those sites that have been security approved.

Cleaning your old gaming devices

It’s common knowledge that you should make sure to wipe your old computers and laptops when you finally dispose of them, but it’s all too common that people neglect to do the same to their phones and gaming consoles. Your phone alone has access to a vast amount of your personal information, and that includes your online gaming data. There are a variety of methods to choose from when it comes to wiping your old devices, so it’s worth doing some checking on the best options for your specific device, and as long as you take those vital steps, you will reduce the chances of falling victim to the savvy cybercriminal.

It’s very easy to forget that we need to be as sensible regarding online security on our gaming platforms as it is on other online platforms. Treat your accounts as you would your online banking, and you won’t go far wrong.
