ITCenter Academy started this week the Automation course at Parkurbis, Covilhã‘s Science and Technology Park.

‍

The academy aims to give trainees skills in new technologies, through theoretical and practical components, so that at the end of the course they will be integrated in ITCenter.

‍

We marked the beginning of the training with a small reception to welcome the trainees. In addition, we had the presence of Isabel Barrau and Adelina Felizardo from IEFP, and Jorge Ramos from Parkurbis.

‍

We would like to thank these two entities for all the support given to launch this course in Covilhã!

‍

It is with great pride that we have reached the highest level of this partnership, reinforcing our collaboration and joint growth strategy in the market.

‍

This status will also help us support our clients in the development of their companies. We currently hold numerous Dell qualifications in the following fields:

‍

• Apex Cloud Offer
• Networking
• Core Client
• Server
• Data Protection
• Storage

ITCenter was back at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) flagship conference, which took place in Valencia on May 2022.

‍

Better known as KubeCon, this event gives the community the opportunity to present the projects developed, as well as improvements in the areas of infrastructure, cloud and open source.

‍

It allows knowledge sharing and interaction with colleagues, who expose their thoughts on the progress and future of these new technologies.

While configuring two Data Centers of a Telecom Operator, we needed a solution that could ensure customer SLAs, guarantee quality of service and experience to end customers even under attack, and minimize network expansion costs.

‍

The Allot Traffic Intelligence and Assurance was the solution of choice, as it allows our customers to have:

‍

• Centralized management
• Granular network visibility
• High availability
• Traffic control
• Advanced analysis and real-time traffic monitoring
• DDoS attack protection and mitigation

Takes a closer look at how cyberattacks have intensified in the first half of this year, with a 42% global increase in attacks, and highlights global trends.

While many organizations have continued to grapple with the security challenges brought about by digital transformation and the race to the cloud, the first six months of 2022 started with the continued fallout of Log4j, one of the most serious zero-day vulnerabilities ever seen. Sadly, one of the most era-defining moments of 2022 so far though, has been the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Its impact on the cyber landscape has been unprecedented.

• Global increase in cyberattacks: In the first half of the year, there was a 42% increase in weekly cyberattacks globally, with every region experiencing a significant escalation.
• Cyberattacks entrenched as a state-level weapon: Cyber warfare has intensified to become an essential part of the preparation for, and conduct of, actual military conflict. The report delves into what this means for governments and enterprises all over the world, even those that are not directly involved in the war.
• Ransomware is the number one threat: This year, ransomware actors have stepped up to nation-state level, targeting the entire countries of Costa Rica and Peru. The huge potential for financial gain means that ransomware is going to be around for a long time and will only get worse.
• Incident Response (IR) perspective: For the first time, we have included a chapter from our Incident Response team. Unlike the analyses and trends discussed throughout the rest of the report, this chapter offers a unique insight as the IR team’s work is vendor-agnostic and looks at the full lifecycle of a cyberattack - not just attempted ones.
• Cloud supply chain attacks: Supply chain attacks started to meet the cloud arena in 2022 with the breach of cloud-based identity management platform, Okta. The most prominent supply chain risk we are seeing, though, comes from modules in the open-source community that are not properly vetted or managed.
• Major disruption to everyday lives: Cybercriminals have caused real harm to civic life in 2022. From attacks on essential services including healthcare and stopping medical appointments, to attack on Lincoln College in the US, resulted in the college closing its doors after 157 years.

Check Point’s team of experts have provided their predictions, from a tsunami of state-sponsored attacks to the first malicious activity in the Metaverse, so that we can all get prepared now for what’s to come.
