5 CERTIFICATION RESOLUTIONS YOU'LL WANT TO KEEP 
Every year, as Father Time is pushed aside by the
New Year baby, people in every field of IT tell
themselves, "This year, I'll do things better.
I'll look away from the screen every few minutes
as recommended to rest my eyes. I'll do the exercises
on WebMD.com to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
I'll spend less time on e-mail, forgo that third
helping of turkey and dressing or sweet potato pie,
and I'll drink less eggnog." That one's especially
important since it's no easy feat getting eggnog
after Christmas is over! 

For certified IT professionals, the top resolution
is probably some variation of, "I will absolutely
research and begin to formulate a certification plan
for my cert of choice by New Year's." Stop laughing.
This year, you can make it happen. If you're flexible
and count the first quarter of 2005 as New Year's,
you've still got a shot at keeping one out of, let's
see here, 10 or 12 resolutions over the course of a year...
Oh well! Not to worry, the following certification
resolutions are both easy to keep and beneficial
for the future.

MONITORING & ANALYZING VOIP TRAFFIC 
Voice over IP (VoIP) can provide many benefits to
organizations large and small. By bringing all
traffic onto a single network, businesses can
realize cost savings and increase the efficiency of
their communications. But before turning your
organization on to the benefits of VoIP, you need
to make sure your network can handle it.

VIRTUAL MACHINE SOFTWARE
Isn't it ironic that Garrison Keillor's show
about fictional town Lake Woebegone is so
popular and desirable compared to life in a
real town, such as Los Angeles? There are more
opportunities and functions in the real city,
but the virtual city has all the star attractions.
Similarly, virtual machine software has nearly
eclipsed real-time operating systems, at
least in terms of excitement. Why the buzz?

INTRUSION PREVENTION AND DETECTION:
CHANGING THE BATTLE LINES
Creating the best security solution
is definitely an exercise where the
sum is greater than the parts. This
is especially true in the area of network
security. In this day and age of multifaceted,
constantly morphing cyber-attacks,
no single solution will keep the enemy
at bay. Rather, the best security
infrastructure is a multilayered one
that utilizes the strengths of each device
in the value chain.
