  The first domain I’d like to discuss has more to do with people and processes than it does with computers. Security management is one of the most overlooked domains, which I think is a shame because almost nothing we do in the other domains means anything without it. Security management is made up of several tasks: Risk assessments, which is the process we use to identify risks to the organization and systemically identify methods to combat those risks, usually relying on input from experts in the below domains Overseeing the processes for other security functions to ensure those align with business/operations processes Change management processes and procedures in place User security awareness training find more :  lm security

  A lot has changed with wireless networks this past decade. Smart devices with built-in wireless network capabilities are all around. This makes Wi-Fi quality and availability a critical resource at home and at work. But troubleshooting is an often overlooked area. Knowing how to check for interference between channels or what your Wi-Fi coverage looks like is handy. We rounded up some of the best wireless analyzer tools for 2019 that allow you to do all of this and more. Some of these tools are free, while others require a license or subscription. Let’s take a look. Wireshark: Packet Analysis Wireshark is an impressive packet-sniffing tool for general network analysis and troubleshooting. It is equally great when you need to deep-dive into wireless networking issues as well. Wireshark allows you to search through all of the traffic on your wireless network and sift through packets and headers to see what is happening. Wireshark is used primarily by professionals that know what th...

    Software defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) is a new approach to multisite network connectivity that lowers operational costs and improves resource usage. Currently all the rage in IT, large corporations are buying up established players to integrate as part of their core offerings at an alarming rate. Often buzz words and IT concepts aren’t well explained, but instead assumed understood. Therefore, I’d like to step back in order to explain and explore SD-WAN. Before we get bogged down with terms like QoS, MPLS and packet-based routing, let’s first review some general networking concepts and terms to build off of : A local area network (LAN) is a private collection of devices in a small geographic location (i.e. your office building or home) connected together in a network in order to share resources. A wide area network (WAN) works much the same way, but for devices geographically diverse. In order to ensure private and consistent communication between WAN locations, a l...

  A nice feature of the Windows operating system is the ability to network computers together. The default network for the Windows operating system is called "Workgroup."

Step 1 Go to the Windows desktop and click on the "Start" button. Step 2 Select "Control Panel," then "System." Step 3 Select the tab labeled "Computer Name," and then take note of the name that is next to the word Workgroup. Step 4 Close this window, go back to the Windows desktop and click "Start" again. Select "My Network Places." Step 5 The icons showing the workgroups will appear, one of them being the new one you created. Go back to the Control Panel and click on "System" and "Computer Name" again. Step 6 Click on "Change" and then change the Workgroup name to the name of th...
