IDK we could earn CEU's for teaching CompTIA Classes. Is that such a thing ?

Interesting concepts that you've unpacked there. My only skepticism about AI, from a security standpoint, is that for every defense capability mechanism that AI develops/enhances there seems to be an an equally nefarious offensive capability that's developed in tandem. It makes me cringe when I see videos of AI automation of malware development.

Still on the subject of AI, here are a couple of useful resources I've stumbled upon recently, the caveat being these are vendor courses, so there will be emphasis on the vendor's products.

1. Securiti is offering free courses on AI governance , privacy Ops and Data command center fundamentals . I 've begun the AI governance offering


2. Cisco is also offering some AI courses. I 'm almost done with the AI Solutions on Cisco infrastructure essential. I must say it's pretty comprehensive but of course with the caveat i mentioned earlier. Personally, the course does blend well with Security X, especially with regards to application of architectural concepts


I would love to see a vendor neutral specialization on AI from Comptia. Anyway there is so much to learn......

​

Previously it was from manual detection to log based detection, then we moved to using some kind of database offline or online over a server to verify signatures and flag packets or IP address( IP abuse database is an example where we flag an IP based on its previous use)


With automation now very possible in 2025 with AI doing al of these it will really help Software Defined Automation, Networking and Security Possible - made possible via very adaptable and scalable APIs that developers can piggyback security devices/hardwares, softwares to.

AI is increasingly used in security to detect and respond to threats faster and more accurately. Here's how it works and how we’d measure its effectiveness:

1. Threat Detection: AI can monitor systems, recognize patterns, and flag unusual activity that might be an attack.
2. Automated Response: If AI spots a threat, it can take action—like blocking an IP or isolating a system—without waiting for a human.
3. Learning Over Time: AI improves by learning from new threats, so it gets better at spotting them as time goes on.
4. Measuring Effectiveness:To know if AI is working, we'd track:
   • False Alerts: Does it incorrectly flag normal activity?
   • Response Time: How fast does it act?
   • Accuracy: How well does it find real threats?
   • Breach Prevention: Does it stop attacks before they happen?
5. Human Checks: Even with AI, humans still need to review the decisions to make sure it’s working right.
6. Regular Testing: We’d also regularly test the system by simulating attacks to see how well it holds up.

Hope this helps

But understand that this comes with some learning curve - AI integration into IT infastructure for threat detection. - Dont forget about some of the negatives or limitations too but with time in the coming years there will be great improvement and adaptation.

Thanks.

That is the assumption, yes.

Version 7 was introduced in November 2023 and generally a certification is replaced every three years.

Mind you, Sec+ v8 is not yet listed here -> https://www.comptia.org/training/resources/exam-objectives/exam-objectives-under-development

Also, no PBQs, right? Only multiple choice/multiple response?

Correct, Jill, as per the exam objectives -> https://partners.comptia.org/docs/d...ectives-(1-2)022f382c09d76fc19da8ff0a002c2329

That makes sense. I'm just wondering how to solve my situation.

You setup a new PearsonVue test center location in collaboration with other interested parties. But, as you already understand, that requires quite the financial investment and comes with a lot of responsibilities.

I would like to push the trifecta and other certifications with my students

Click to expand...

My question would be "why"? Why are you wanting to push a commercial certification from a party you are not related to unto students? Have you verified that "the trifecta and other certifications" will actually offer resumé value in their region?

It happens some times even with my login also …

Mine shows up in the exam history page (date taken + pass grade), but not in the list of certifications.
If yours is the same, it's likely just a website issue.

I took the CloudNetX beta exam in August 2024. Earlier in February 2025, I received an email from CompTIA stating that I had passed the exam.

As of the start of March 2025, the CompTIA CloudNetX still does not show up in my list of certifications on the CompTIA portal. It doesn't even show up in my history of exams on the CompTIA portal, even though it does show up on the Pearson Vue web site, along with a score report.

Does anyone know what is the issue delaying the update to the CompTIA portal?

Click to expand...

I am not sure all, but I think the Certificate (PDF) shall be available after CloudNetX is available. About your case, I think you could the helps from CompTIA, because I have seen the result in Certmetrics (History tab) when I have received the email from PearsonVUE to inform about the beta exam result. Still wait to see the result in Certmetrics (Certification tab).

My impressions of the exam won't be the same as the student's impressions of the exam. I thought it was one of the easiest tech exams I've ever taken, but it should be because I have 30+ years of tech experience. Mostly, it was a glorified vocabulary exam. They cover troubleshooting, but there wasn't anything particularly challenging in it. The students will have a different impression of course, but it's significantly easier than A+, Net+, Security+, or Data+ because it doesn't demand memorization of technical specifications.

That's interesting..

Hello Everyone! I am waiting for confirmation of dates for the A+ TTT series. If all goes well, I expect the series to begin on April 1st. We will run two separate series for A+, one for Core 1 and a second for Core 2. Stay tuned here for further updates!
