Social media is the most powerful tool of the 21st century and people are connecting with each other on social media for different things. Whether it is for business, personal communication, dating or networking and communicating for any other reason, people use social media. So it is only fair that there are apps that allow neighbors to get in touch with each other. This may just become the new way to manage the neighborhood watch
Let’s take a look at some of the apps that can help you connect with your neighbors.
Nextdoor is a social media platform for neighborhoods across the country. It allows you to quickly get in touch with your neighbors. You can post messages on neighborhood group boards, have private conversations, upload photos of suspicious activities or ask questions about city services and get answers from other residents. This app was created so that people could connect with each other locally without having to login in to other apps like Facebook or another social network that has all kinds of different content coming at you every second.

On June 9th – 2019, Cisco made an announcement of deleting and replacing ALL their CCNP Level “Exams”.
saying exams instead of certificates, as the labels of most the Certificates remained the same
(except for CCNP RS, who got replaced with CCNP – Enterprise).
The new Exams as they are linked to the CCNP badges, came with a new criteria of becoming “Certified”.
now you will need to pass ONLY 2 exams and you will get granted the CCNP Badge, rather than needing a minimum of 3-4 exams in the previous system.
The new system requires 2 isolated parts to fulfill, before you become certified:
1- A Technology Core Exam, which plays a role in engaging you in 2 paths of certs. (The CCNP & The CCIE).
– and that will be:
– Enterprise, Security, Service Provider, Collaboration, Data Center, and the newly established DEVNET & CyberOps
2- A Technology Concentration Exam, every domain of the 7 mentioned in Point “1”, has a 1-7 different technologies to concentrate on.
This will be kind of having a Master degree in engineering, you consider some general topics, and focus on some other.

One of the toughest hurdles to overcome when building your own virtual networking lab is the slog of downloading VM images for your favorite network devices and building Vagrant boxes1 in case you want to use them with Vagrant or netsim-tools.
You can find box-building recipes on the Internet – codingpackets.com has a dozen of them – but they tend to be a bit convoluted and a smidge hard-to-follow the first time you’re trying to build the boxes (trust me, I’ve been there).

Today on the Tech Bytes podcast, we continue our conversation with sponsor Singtel on how to make your existing WAN communicate with cloud services more effectively. The traditional MPLS network lacks the flexibility to support modern cloud services, such as breaking out traffic for content inspection or security scanning. Our guest to help us understand how to get your traditional network more cloud-ready is Mark Seabrook, Global Solutions Manager at Singtel.

Ransomware-as-a-service has become an increasingly more visible threat to organizations, and we continue to see sophisticated ransomware attacks across multi-cloud environments. A new VMware Threat Analysis Unit report exposes just how agile attackers have become by weaponizing ransomware, cryptojacking, and Remote Access Tools (RATs) in Linux-based environments. The report clearly outlines the steps attackers take once they’ve obtained a foothold in their target cloud environment, either executing ransomware or deploying cryptojacking components. In addition to these two types of attacks, our threat researchers also present how threat actors implant themselves using RATs.
In the report, a team of highly skilled and dedicated threat researchers and security professionals provide an in-depth analysis to these key findings:
Today on the Day Two Cloud podcast we offer tips and advice for those on the job market, from finding new opportunities, building a professional network, prepping for interviews, handling curve-ball interview questions, managing nerves, and more.
