Cyber security Jobs Added to Government's Shortage Occupation List

Cybersecurity engineers and analysts have been identified as being on the Shortage Occupation List (SOL), in the first full review of officially recognized careers where the shortages “are most severe and where the consequences of those shortages are most serious” since February 2013.

According to the UK Government’s Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), “job shortages in roles such as cybersecurity analysts/engineers and IT network engineers” are now recognized, while the “occupation as a whole ranked highly in our shortage indicators and had an above average vacancy rate.”

In the previous partial update, published in 2015, the job “cybersecurity specialist” was added under the section “information technology and communications professionals not elsewhere classified.” Then, the shortage related to “a person with a minimum of five years’ relevant experience and demonstrable experience of having led a team.”

Since the 2015 partial update, while the need for more skilled cybersecurity professionals remains in this list, it now states “there will be no minimum experience requirement as applying an experience caveat could hinder the development of cybersecurity at all levels.”

This change in requirement follows criticism of hiring practices, where five to 10 years experience is common and cited as a deterrent to new applicants.

In an email to Infosecurity, Ed Williams, director EMEA of SpiderLabs at Trustwave, said: “The security industry is to blame to some degree, there is very much a gatekeeper philosophy, which is starting to be broken down, but not nearly quick enough from my perspective. This industry is so fast paced and exciting, we should be pulling in the brightest and best - these don’t have to come from Computer Science backgrounds.”

The MAC stated the impact of the skills shortage on cybersecurity development, saying that there have been reported delays to “software improvements and features as they do not have the labor or expertise to fulfil demand” and this has led to “an increasing reliance on workers from outside the UK and there is a growing concern surrounding the future skills base for roles within new technical areas.”

The MAC cited “several sources amongst Government and the private sector” who agreed that there is a shortage of digital skills within the UK, evidenced by consistent vacancies in digital occupations, growth in demand for digital skills as well as documented deficiencies across the population in terms of digital skill. However, the MAC acknowledged that “there is not enough domestic supply of sufficiently skilled labor to fill this demand.”

According to Deloitte’s Digital Disruption Index for 2019, only 18% of respondents believe that UK school leavers and graduates have the right digital skills, while only 25% of digital leaders in the UK believe their workforce has sufficient knowledge and expertise to execute their digital strategy.

In the section 'Digital and IT Occupations,' careers as IT specialist managers, IT project and programme managers, IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, programmers and software development professionals, web design and development professionals and information technology and telecommunications professionals were listed as being in shortage. Cybersecurity careers appeared under section SOC 2139 - information technology and telecommunications professionals. 

The MAC said that “short-term mitigations have helped to fill shortages to some extent, but this has had limited impact as the skills required simply are not available.”

As well as short-term mitigations, the MAC said that long-term strategies also have their limitations; as up-skilling staff “is constrained by the lack of expertise in newer areas such as cybersecurity and secondly, these strategies are yet to mature, and so the scale of their impacts cannot truly be assessed until the future.”

As part of the UK’s Digital Strategy, it stated that “there will be even greater demand for people with specialist digital skills” as the digital economy grows. 

“As we leave the European Union, it will be even more important to ensure that we continue to develop our home-grown talent, up-skill our workforce and develop the specialist digital skills needed to maintain our world leading digital sector,” then Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Karen Bradley MP stated.

She acknowledged then that “a strong pipeline of specialist skills - from coding to cyber” was needed, and initiatives like the NCSC’s Cyberfirst have enabled that. However, a more immediate solution is needed until the next generation begin work.

To be placed on the SOL, a job must meet three requirements:

• Skilled (are the jobs skilled to the required level?)
• Shortage (is the job in shortage?)
• Sensible (is it sensible to try to fill those shortages through migration?)

According to the Migration Advisory Committee, being on the SOL conveys certain advantages:

• Not having to conduct a Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT)
• Exemption from the £35,000 minimum income threshold for settlement
• Priority in the event that the cap binds

Why Companies Prefer Python?

Why Companies Prefer Python?

   

Python has top the charts in the recent years over other programming languages like C, C++ and Java and is widely used by the programmers. The language has undergone a drastic change since its release 25 years ago as many add-on features are introduced. The Python 1.0 had the module system of Modula-3 and interacted with Amoeba Operating System with varied functioning tools. Python 2.0 introduced in the year 2000 had features of garbage collector and Unicode Support. Python 3.0 introduced in the year 2008 had a constructive design that avoids duplicate modules and constructs. With the added features, now the companies are using Python 3.5.

The software development companies prefer Python language because of its versatile features and fewer programming codes. Nearly 14% of the programmers use it on the operating systems like UNIX, Linux, Windows and Mac OS. The programmers of big companies use Python as it has created a mark for itself in the software development with characteristic features like-

• Interactive
• Interpreted
• Modular
• Dynamic
• Object-oriented
• Portable
• High level
• Extensible in C++ & C

Advantages or Benefits of Python

The Python language has diversified application in the software development companies such as in gaming, web frameworks and applications, language development, prototyping, graphic design applications, etc. This provides the language a higher plethora over other programming languages used in the industry. Some of its advantages are-

• Extensive Support Libraries

It provides large standard libraries that include the areas like string operations, Internet, web service tools, operating system interfaces and protocols. Most of the highly used programming tasks are already scripted into it that limits the length of the codes to be written in Python.

• Integration Feature

Python integrates the Enterprise Application Integration that makes it easy to develop Web services by invoking COM or COBRA components. It has powerful control capabilities as it calls directly through C, C++ or Java via Jython. Python also processes XML and other markup languages as it can run on all modern operating systems through same byte code.

• Improved Programmer’s Productivity

The language has extensive support libraries and clean object-oriented designs that increase two to ten fold of programmer’s productivity while using the languages like Java, VB, Perl, C, C++ and C#.

• Productivity

With its strong process integration features, unit testing framework and enhanced control capabilities contribute towards the increased speed for most applications and productivity of applications. It is a great option for building scalable multi-protocol network applications.

Eight Useful Microsoft Excel Shortcuts That You Should Know

1. Insert the Current Date [ Ctrl + ;]

Have you been looking at the right hand corner of your screen to insert the current date in your MS Excel spreadsheets? Now, all you need to do is apply a simple shortcut CTRL + ; and the current date will appear in the selected cell right away. 

2. Inserting a New Text Line in the same Cell [Alt + Enter]

At times, when you are typing in a particular cell and wish to go to a new line to add new text, you press Enter without any avail. Pressing Enter takes you to an entirely new cell rather than allowing the cursor to move to a new line. What do you do? Just press Alt + Enter and the cursor will shift to a new line within the same cell!

3. Select Full Rows and Columns at a Single Go [Ctrl + Spacebar] or [ Shift + Spacebar]

These are two very useful MS Excel shortcut commands that allow you to choose a row or column in entirety. Say, if you need to select the entire column H, just press Ctrl + Spacebar on any cell in Column H; the entire column gets highlighted (thus selected) in a jiffy. Pressing Shift + Spacebar is a smart way of highlighting an entire row while staying on a cell in the same row. Try it; you will be happy to see the results. 

4. Insert Multiple Rows and Columns in the Worksheet

While working on a specific worksheet, you may need to insert multiple rows or columns to add more data. Remember, inserting each row or column individually can be a painful affair and leave you with more work on your hand. For getting additional rows and columns in a worksheet the simple way, highlight as many numbers of pre-existing rows or columns, right click, and choose ‘Insert’. You will get the desired number of rows and columns instantly. 

5. Resize Columns in Quick Clicks

You know how tough it is to insert large volumes of data into your spreadsheets. What’s more concerning is when you cannot see your inputs in total, as the column sizes are just too small for a full display. Fret not. You need not resize each cell or column individually if you know this popular MS Excel shortcut. Just select the columns that require resizing after you have filled them with data; hover your mouse on the right hand corner and double click. Your data will be displayed in total, just the way you wanted.

6. Insert a Comment [Shift + F2]

You are on the verge of completing your spreadsheet and retiring for the day when you notice that something is amiss. Instead of getting all worked up or reaching out for stick on notes to remind yourself about all that needs to be done next day, simply press Shift + F2. Bingo! You will find the comment box opening up right next to the very cell you were working on. This helpful MS Excel shortcut will allow you insert comments instantly without having to right click and select “Insert Comments.”

7. Make Changes Over Multiple Worksheets

Many a times, you feel the need of making the same change across specific multiple worksheets in the same file. Instead of copying and pasting these changes in the specific worksheets, all that you need to do is create a group by clicking on one tab, pressing Ctrl, and then clicking on the remaining specific sheets. From this point on, when you make a change on the current sheet, you will find the same change taking place across all the other sheets in your file. In case you desire to replicate this change across all the sheets in a specific file, click on the option ‘Select all Sheets’ after right clicking on a single sheet tab. 

8. Select a Table or ALL!

When you are working in MS Word, pressing Ctrl + A allows you to select the entire text. The same goes for MS Excel. Placing the cursor on any cell and pressing Ctrl + A once will select the current table. Pressing Ctrl + A twice will select the entire worksheet. Easy, isn’t it?

Mastering all the features of Microsoft Excel may be a difficult proposition when you are dealing with specific formulae and functions. However, these 8 popularly used MS Excel shortcuts will give you the much needed helping hand when you are using this intelligent MS Office package. For once, taking a shortcut may not be a bad habit at all!

Nearly 1 Million Computers Still Vulnerable to "Wormable" BlueKeep RDP Flaw

Nearly 1 million Windows systems are still unpatched and have been found vulnerable to a recently disclosed critical, wormable, remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)—two weeks after Microsoft releases the security patch.

If exploited, the vulnerability could alloDescribing the BlueKeep vulnerability as being Wormable that could allow malware to propagate to vulnerable systems just like WannaCry, Microsoft released a security fix to address the vulnerability with its May 2019 Patch Tuesday updates.


However, the latest Internet scan performed by Robert Graham, head of offensive security research firm Errata Security, revealed that, unfortunately, roughly 950,000 publicly accessible machines on the Internet are vulnerable to the BlueKeep bug.

This clearly means that even after the security patch is out, not every user and organisation has deployed it to address the issue, posing a massive risk to individuals and organizations, including industrial and healthcare environments.

Graham used "rdpscan," a quick scanning tool he built on top of his masscan port scanner that can scan the entire Internet for systems still vulnerable to the BlueKeep vulnerability, and found a whole 7 million systems that were listening on port 3389, of which around 1 million systems are still vulnerable.

"Hackers are likely to figure out a robust exploit in the next month or two and cause havoc with these machines," the researcher says.

"That means when the worm hits, it'll likely compromise those million devices. This will likely lead to an event as damaging as WannaCry, and notPetya from 2017 -- potentially worse, as hackers have since honed their skills exploiting these things for ransomware and other nastiness."

The BlueKeep vulnerability has so much potential to wreak havoc worldwide that it forced Microsoft to release patches for not only the supported Windows versions but also Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003, which no longer receive mainstream support from the company but are still widely used.

Dubbed BlueKeep and tracked as CVE-2019-0708, the vulnerability affects Windows 2003, XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 editions and could spread automatically on unprotected systems.

The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and take control of a targeted computer just by sending specially crafted requests to the device's Remote Desktop Service (RDS) via the RDP—without requiring any interaction from a user.

Not just researchers, malicious hackers and cybercriminals have also started scanning the Internet for vulnerable Windows systems to target them with malware, GreyNoise Intelligence said.

"GreyNoise is observing sweeping tests for systems vulnerable to the RDP "BlueKeep" (CVE-2019-0708) vulnerability from several dozen hosts around the Internet. This activity has been observed from exclusively Tor exit nodes and is likely being executed by a single actor," the tweet says.

However, fortunately, so far no security researcher has yet publicly published any proof-of-concept exploit code for BlueKeep, though a few of them have confirmed to have successfully developed a working exploit.

Are you still waiting for me to tell you what you should do next? Go and fix the goddamn vulnerability if you are using one of them.

If fixing the flaw in your organisation is not possible anytime sooner, then you can take these mitigations:

• Disable RDP services, if not required.
• Block port 3389 using a firewall or make it accessible only over a private VPN.
• Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA) – this is partial mitigation to prevent any unauthenticated attacker from exploiting this Wormable flaw.
