The list of DDoS attacks in the month of June has made for grim reading. High-profile sites have been targeted by extortion demands, online games got disrupted and at least one company was put out of business as a direct result.

Online activism, the profit motive and even potential nation-state activity contributed to June’s high volume of DDoS attacks. + ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD: 10 security start-ups to watch | Privacy-focused Blackphone starts shipping to early adopters +To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WEBCAST: Kemp Technologies How To: Agile Hybrid Cloud Deployment with Virtual ADC's The Growth of Hybrid Cloud is effecting companies of all sizes.

Learn More Cisco's Latest CCNP Security Updates Cisco has given us a big makeover for one of their premier Professional Level Certifications - the Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP Security) Certification. The 2014 updates retire some devices and technologies from coverage, and replace these with some of the latest and greatest in Cisco's security portfolio. It does seem that in the area of security, Cisco makes the most sweeping changes, retiring products with no warning. The ever-changing network security landscape certainly helps to make this a reality.  As we examine this updated certification, the first thing to consider is the prerequisite requirements. Prerequisites The most common method of meeting the prerequisites is to simply possess the CCNA Security certification. The simplest path to CCNA Security is to possess the CCENT Certification and then pass 640-554 IINS. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Enterprise Organizations Are Taking Steps to Improve Cybersecurity Analytics Read More
