interesting

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting an update! If you have never been to Def Con, be sure to add it to your list of conferences to attend. This is a great event for instructors, students and IT professionals to brush up on skills! There is so much to do at the event including networking, great talks, workshops and challenging competitions related to cybersecurity. You will learn a lot! Many of the areas and competitions even had learning challenges for kids to earn badges.

It is also a great place for CINners to connect. I got to meetup with Red Team member @Lee McWhorter and was able to hang out with @Hod Berman. I hope next year we can all meetup for CINners in Sin City!!

Hi All, I just want to check if we are going to receive any certification voucher key for AI Fundamentals? My understanding is that it's a course and there are no certifications attached to it. I wasn't able to find a lot of information.
Any pointers will be helpful. Thanks a lot in advance.

Only if you attended the live sessions or if you caught up before the last session concluded as they now only give out access vouchers to those that fall between that window of time.
@Stephen Schneiter may correct me on this, but this is my understanding now

Congratulations, hard work pays indeed.

I'm the opposite. I received the CertMaster materials, but haven't received a voucher yet.

Still waiting on mine

I am excited to share that I have successfully earned the CompTIA SecAI+ Certification (CY0-001) with a score of 868, well above the passing score of 600.
This achievement is the result of 2-3 months of focused preparation, learning, and hands-on practice in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity.
Through this journey, I gained valuable knowledge in:

• AI-powered threat detection and security operations
• Securing AI and machine learning systems
• Risk assessment and incident response
• Security analytics and threat intelligence
• Governance, compliance, and ethical AI practices

A heartfelt thank you to my colleagues, mentors, and everyone who supported and encouraged me throughout this learning journey.
I'm excited to apply these skills in real-world environments and continue growing at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

Congrats, that's a big one! What did you think of the exam?

Thank you for your question. I found the CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-004) examination to be both challenging and highly relevant to contemporary cybersecurity practices.

The examination places considerable emphasis on the practical application of cybersecurity concepts, particularly in areas such as threat detection and analysis, vulnerability management, incident response, and security operations. The scenario-based nature of many of the questions requires not only a strong understanding of the underlying concepts but also the ability to apply them effectively in practical situations.

Overall, I found it to be a valuable experience and a good assessment of practical cybersecurity skills.
