Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

There is no CompTIA higher-level exam than CASP+/SecurityX because it is considered an expert level exam. That is what they are referring to.

I passed the CISM after passing CASP+ and they added three years to the expiration date. I also passed the CISSP, which I could use to renew my CISM and CASP+. I have some CompTIA certs that don't expire until 2030.

A nice thing to do is to take the certification that matters to you and always renew the SecurityX - I think that makes sense

Thanks for the insight.

I will do same

To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

What I do see are over-priced bootcamps with "job guarantees" that teach the trifecta and then charge you upwards of 14k$ (sometimes even 20k$). A lot of those bootcamps prey on veterans and their juicy, juicy GI Bill

Guarantees? Last time I checked, there were only two guarantees: 1. Death. 2. Taxes.

Seeking input on hiring CompTIA Instructors

I was looking at the median average for training houses and colleges. And yes, the going college rate is somewhere between 20-25/hr, even if you're going in as Adjunct (which to me is the same). They do get it, though, as there are always someone out there that will take it or nothing at all.

Hey Big R, are you saying you don't need Network+ before Security+?
In my years of teaching, I've found that if don't you have Network+ and you teach Security+ you end up teaching 1.5 course Sec+ and part of Net+, so they understand Protocols and TCP/IP.
Not going against your judgement, you have my highest respect Big R, but, am I missing something?

DataX APPLIED LAB 4.1.3 -- Official Answer for Question 2

B
Hello Everyone!

I am working through Lab 4.1.3 APPLIED LAB in the DataX class and I am uncertain as to the answer to Question (2) below and justification for the answer. I repeatedly get it wrong and I keep having to restart the Lab VM just to get to try the get this question correct. I think I am applying sound thinking as to what the correct answer should be, but perhaps there is someone who can provide the official answer and why it's the official answer?

(2) Which of the following columns can be calculated?
year
day
dep_delay
arr_delay
air_time
month

I am going to eventually get it right after going through all of the possible combinations but it is much appreciated if someone can help clarify why the official answer is what it is as I am misunderstanding the context of this question. I will need to explain to the students why this answer was chosen to remove any subjectivity.

I had also asked previously if there is a place where all of the DataX lab solutions and answers to all questions are posted so students can refer to them afterwards on their own time. Is there an update on this, and is there a plan to provide an answer key and/or ZIP of the completed notebooks?

Thank you!
Ben

Thank you, @Gregory Childers , for your kind reply.

I’m a bit confused because the official CompTIA information seems to suggest otherwise. Specifically, there's a line that states: “(three years from the date you earn the higher-level certification).”

I currently hold the CASP 004 certification, which expires in January 2027. Since I’m near the exam center these days, I was considering taking the CASP 005 exam to renew my certifications. However, if I will only receive an additional three years from tomorrow, I will essentially gain just one additional year.
You see what I mean? It feels like I would be shooting myself in the foot by doing this. :rolleyes:

Hi Folks, as always, thank you for your patience as we work through processing eligibility for vouchers! I am ordering SecurityX vouchers today. I hope that once the order is received, the Data team will be able to begin distribution within the next week. I will post an update once I have a better idea of the date.

Thanks Stephen, definitely looking forward to DataX and CloudNetX

Hello @Everyone and Stephen

Please, could you help me understand a little the renewal cycle,

Let’s say I currently hold the CASP+ certification, which is set to expire in January 2027.
If I renew it tomorrow (May 4 2025), would the new expiration date be extended to January 2030, or would it be May 2028?

Thank you in advance for your help!
