Penetration Testing/Threat Modeling Reporting Tool?

Can you be a bit more specific in what you want to achieve and/or replace? There are a ton of tools out there, and it may be just me not fully understanding your request, but if you could add some detail I and the community might be able to help.

Penetration Testing/Threat Modeling Reporting Tool?

Hey all! I was curious if anyone has any solution suggestions for replacement of a penetration testing/threat modeling (overall-security) reporting tool? Ideally, something that would work with BurpSuite and/or integrate with Prisma or any other vulnerability documentation repos is best.

Thanks in advance!!

Building the Future of IT Through Learning, Innovation, and Community

Everyone needs to learn about quantum computing as quick as possible.
Love the energy, Gregory! I'd break it into three lenses: students now have real, affordable hands-on access (AWS/IBM/Azure all offer pay-as-you-go, no PhD needed), businesses are moving selectively where quantum already helps (logistics, security), and globally there's a real compliance clock ticking on quantum-resistant crypto standards.

Genuinely curious, though: when you say "everyone," is that more about the workforce pipeline or the broader economic/security stakes? Would love to hear your take, I'm still shaping my own view on the pacing here.

Network + in 5 Days

Hi Nick, thank you for taking your time to share your '2 cents', much appreciated. I will check the instructor resources as you suggested. Considering your advice, I might have to run two different classes: The 2 weeks for beginners and the one week bootcamp for the more experienced learners. Cheers Nick.
Yeah we used to offer the bootcamps but had higher requirements for those courses and explained that the fast paced class in a bootcamp are NOT meant for those entering into the IT/Cyber field. They are meant for professionals that have the experience and knowledge but need guidance on how to apply that to a proctored exam.

A majority of our students were transitioning into IT so we offer a longer term course, usually two nights a week for 3-4 hours, for several weeks this allows time for the students to digest the material covered and work on reading and lab activities before we dive into new content.

Stackable Certs and Credly badges

Hi Guys,
I have passed both the CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams, which gives me the stackable certificate for CIOS (CompTIA IT Operations Specialist). All three certs (CIOS included) are available to download on the CompTIA (cp.certmetrics.com) certification site. The A+ is the current 220-1201 and 220-1202 and the Network is the N10-008 (which is valid until November 2027). I have received my A+ and Net+ badges on Credly, but I have not received and invitation to collect the CIOS badge. Is there something else I have to do to obtain this badge.
I have contacted Credly support, who instructed me to contact CompTIA support. I contacted CompTIA support, who directed me to a like to the site that explains what "Stackable Certs" are...
If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Regarding the CertMaster CE product

Hi All,

I originally obtained my Security+ Certification in July 2020 with the SY0-501 version. Three years later, in 2023, I renewed it using the CertMaster CE product for security+ at the time. Now, it's renewal time again. I would like to ask some clarifications because some of the official info is a little conflicting.

In this information page about CertMaster CE:


It specifically mentions SY0-601 or earlier.

However, in the actual product page:


All the way to bottom where the CE Product is, there is no mention of or earlier. Only SY0-601 is mentioned by name.

Will I be able to renew my certification using the current CertMaster CE product for Security+? My expiration is on the 24th this July, but I can probably bang it out in a week. Just have to consider the purchase approval process in my company. Any clarifications are welcome.
