Reasons you Need a Certification - SLA IT Employment Training & Certification Courses in Chennai

If you get a certification your employer will know that you are serious. Certification helps in the sense that your employer will know that you're serious about your career. Your immediate boss will know you're serious. If there should ever come a time where you're forced to leave, being certified in technical and business disciplines are essential. Employers want employees who need very little start time to get tuned to their systems. In reality you'll be lucky if you're trained on how that company carries on technical job functions. More than likely you'll have to learn on your own and fast. Certification will give you a competitive edge especially if you already have real world experience.

A certification challenges your mind. Certification also puts you in touch with what the marketplace wants. It's easy to get stuck in your own world especially if the company you work for is very stable (thanks to you of course!). Seriously, certification is a testament to your skills. Enhancing your skills will enhance your career and your ability to make better decisions.

Reduce Job Hopping - Soft Skills Course/Program & Training in SLA Chennai

The latest management buzzword isn't really a trend. It is more a reaction to the last few trends. The new buzzword is brightsizing. Brightsizing is downright dangerous and you need to protect your organization from it. 

Brightsizing is defined as "corporate downsizing in which the brightest workers are let go. This happens when a company lays off those workers with the least seniority, but its those young workers who are often the best trained and educated." 

Sometimes brightsizing is blamed on union contracts, which enforce seniority-based hiring/firing practices. It is, unfortunately, just as common in non-union companies. 

Many companies have policy statements in their employee handbooks that state that in layoff decisions "among equally qualified candidates preference will be given to the employee with the greatest seniority."

When faced with decisions that will result in a reduction in staff, make sure you first evaluate the value of the employee to the organization and THEN look at other mitigating factors, such as length of time with the company. 

So, looking at the latest trend of brightsizing, it is advisable for freshers to stick to their first one or two jobs for a long duration. Further, in anyone's career, employers expect you to stay for a minimum of 2 years. SLA IT Employment Training Company trains its students who come for technical training on job management tricks.

Social Engineering - Computer Hardware and Networking Training Institute in SLA Chennai

Social engineering is a term that describes a non-technical kind of intrusion that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves tricking other people to break normal security procedures.

A social engineer runs what used to be called a "con game." For example, a person using social engineering to break into a computer network might try to gain the confidence of an authorized user and get them to reveal information that compromises the network's security. Social engineers often rely on the natural helpfulness of people as well as on their weaknesses. They might, for example, call the authorized employee with some kind of urgent problem that requires immediate network access. Appeal to vanity, appeal to authority, appeal to greed, and old-fashioned eavesdropping are other typical social engineering techniques.

Social engineering is a component of many, if not most, types of exploits. Virus writers use social engineering tactics to persuade people to run malware-laden email attachments, phishers use social engineering to convince people to divulge sensitive information, and scareware vendors use social engineering to frighten people into running software that is useless at best and dangerous at worst.

Security experts propose that as our culture becomes more dependent on information, social engineering will remain the greatest threat to any security system. Prevention includes educating people about the value of information, training them to protect it, and increasing people's awareness of how social engineers operate.

SLA IT Employment Training Company conducts classes in hardware and networking and covers Social Engineering as part of the syllabus.For more details visit SLA or dial (91 44) 4200 5050/90.

SLA PC Hardware Training Chennai - Faqs: Why do we need Virtual Memory?

People wonder about this all the time : “My computer has two gigs of RAM. Why would I need more?”

Like many other things in the computer industry, virtual memory was born out of necessity. Fairly early on in personal computer evolution, it was decided that a computer would never need more than 640 KB ( yes, kilobytes) of memory. Oops. For DOS it was fine, mostly, but once graphical operating systems came into the world, the number of resources needed jumped significantly.

Flash back to the late 1980s/early 1990s – if you had 4MB of RAM in your system, you were doing well. Very well, in fact, because RAM cost over $100 per megabyte. If you wanted more memory for windows to use, then you had two choices – one was to mortgage your property, and the other was to use another source: virtual memory.

Hard disk space was and probably always cheaper per megabyte than RAM, simply because of the technology involved. So, while hard disks might be slower than RAM, they are bigger and cheaper. Using space on them for virtual memory made a ton of economic sense then and still does today.
