We’ll be discussing essential technical skills, including essential cloud, Linux, Windows and IoT management tips.
Like it or not, Kali Linux (a version of Linux that already has many security tools incorporated within it) has become the poster child for penetration testing.. It’s used throughout the industry by cybersecurity professionals and “script kiddies” alike. In his next Office Hours session, CompTIA Chief Technology Evangelist Dr. James Stanger will take a more in-depth look at the tools Kali has to offer. More importantly, James will investigate the techniques and procedures that tend to set the cybersecurity professionals apart from the rest. He will also spend time contextualizing these tools in the larger activities of the penetration tester, as well as the in the duties of other job roles, such as the security analyst. For example, James will explain how to configure tools such as Shodan, Nmap, Maltego and Metasploit to work together for passive and active scanning. James will also profile tools such as BeEf, Netcat and John the Ripper.

In US law, the national technology and industrial base comprises the industrial bases of the US and its three closest historical allies (Australia, Canada, and the UK). Over the course of the last twenty years, the technological environment has changed and many non-defense and global actors are now players in technological innovation. Congress and the Administration need to examine new policies that will allow the US to compete in this new technological environment and counterbalance the great power competition. A primary area where the US can reshape its strategic focus is space. The United States has a long- standing position of partnering with other countries on space programs, in particular, space exploration focused activities. Space is now being recognized by both developing and developed countries as a “means to an end” to help drive economic prosperity and technological innovation. From a strategic engagement point of view, the United States needs to strengthen its ties with existing partners and develop relationships with new partners. The US must be viewed as the first option for partnering on space related issues – however, current policies are hindering these goals, and enabling our peer competitors, such as China and Russia, to move quickly in developing partnerships with interested nations.

Most MSP clients are inexperienced buyers (yes, even business owners), in that they pick an MSP with their heart, not their brain. Given this, it is vital that you know how to differentiate yourself through effective, efficient marketing tied to basic human behaviours.
In this webinar I will explore the best ways to find high-quality prospects, and how to effectively qualify them and spark interest in your offering. I will also share my insights on how to build a relationship with hundreds of prospects in just a few minutes a day so that when a business is ready to select an MSP, or replace their current MSP, you are guaranteed a place at the table (if not the onlyplace).
12 pm CT / 1pm ET
“Do as I say, not as I do;” “Practice what you preach.” Which end of the spectrum does your business fall into? MSPs have landed squarely in the cross-hairs of attackers. They come from all sides and your own vulnerabilities may be making it even easier for them. As media scrutiny and government oversight intensifies, every MSP must take a look at itself and answer one simple question; “Would we pass the very same security audit we expect our clients to?”
Join our Managed Services Community to gain insight and ready-for-action tips to help ensure your business doesn't end up on the wrong end of a headline.

Staying on top of the latest trends is key to remaining relevant in today’s tech business landscape. Recently, the wave of technology that is redefining business and society has been aptly labeled the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” This suggests not only a drastic change in the way work is done, but a new foundational infrastructure that enables that work. However, a strong economy and aging population have eaten into the available labour pool, with a growing number of companies reporting they can’t find enough skilled workers.
So, what does the future hold for Canadian technology businesses?
