Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) v1.0 - Day 2 - Training log

OK so Day 1 wasn't bad, and I think I'm getting used to the structure/content. Hopefully we can be more efficient with the next few since there are a total of 32 sections in this course! I know, I do have 180 days from the date of purchase, but I'd like to get this done and line up the next course before my expiration in August 2023. 

It seems like a long time, but work and "life in general" can get in the way so try not to procrastinate too much!

Section 4 - Describing Common Endpoint Attacks

This section covers the most common types of attacks on endpoints (PCs, smartphones) including: Buffer Overflow, Malware, Social Engineering, Web-based attacks, Rootkits, Privilege Escalation, etc.

4.1 - Intro - two videos, 24 minutes

4.2 - 4.5

4.6 - Social Engineering, short video, 

4.12 - Summary Challenge - 12 questions

30-60 minutes


Section 5 - Describing Network Security Technologies

If you've been keeping up with security, even from a networking perspective, much of this section will be familiar since they go over the different types of products/solutions used to secure the network from the edge, email, DNS, to devices like IDS/IPS and NGFWs.

5.1 - intro - 4 videos, 40 minutes

5.2 - 5.18

The day really got away from me and that's all for Day 2... I'll try to knock out more tomorrow!

This is a 2023 update to my previous post about using Cisco Continuing Education (CE) credits to recertify your CCIE. Let's cut to the chase: You need/want to recertify your CCIE without taking an exam and you need to do it as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Thanks to Cisco's Continuing Education program, you've had the option earn CE credits for years, but sorting through courses to find the best use of your time and money wasn't the easiest.

Step 1 - Determine your status Go to https://ce.cisco.com and login with your credentials to view your Dashboard of current certifications and training items you have taken in the past.  Mine looks like th...

Every subscription helps fund more giveaways and content! If you haven't already subscribed, please consider helping support the channel by clicking the YouTube button - THANK YOU!! If you saw my previous post and video about the new replacements for the Sony MZ-RH1's dead OLEDs, well there's a great new update! Sir68k has done it again with a new, slimmer revision that's easier to install due to longer cable lengths, an extra flex cable, and less modifications. I won't write a long post because Sir68k and other members of the MD community have contributed to a great write up with clear photos of the installation which can complement this video.
