I really enjoyed the CIN toolbox webinar presented by John Guise about how AI can be incorporated to personalize our students learning experiences with our courses. As I agree with many of my peers in the CINer community that we can't really control how individuals use such resources. We do address many tools and techniques in our classes. For instance Nmap and Wireshark for example, which can be used for good or bad. We just have to hope that they use these tools for the right reasons vs the wrong, as it's a powerful resource to have on our pack of tricks. As a matter of fact it appears to becoming a typical tool implemented in many CyberSec resources nowadays.

I'd like to add a tool to some of the resources that John posted about in his presentation. It's called Study Fetch. Here is a brief concept of what it can do. And just to show how it's being incorporated into classrooms. I'd be interested in any comments regarding this platform from my fellow CINers.

Hello, Steve.
I was asking about the CompTIA’s sneak-peak sessions. I report them for my annual work evaluation, keeping up with technology.

Sneak Peek sessions are available on-demand as well. https://cin.comptia.org/resources/categories/cin-sneak-peek-series.18/

Does this help?

Right... but just to be crystal, the LEARN content is for anything before the release of PERFORM (right now, the new Net+ and Tech+). As courses are updated on the three year cycle, they'll be brought into CM Perform, which means the PDF material isn't available...?

CertMaster Learn, CertMaster Labs and CertMaster Practice are all available for Network+ N10-009. CertMaster Perform is an all-inclusive learning tool. That would be the product with the most inclusive tools and reporting. However, you can still use CertMaster Learn and all the add-ons. CertMaster Learn also now runs on the LabSim platform. Checkout the website for more information on CertMaster Learn form Network+ https://www.comptia.org/training/certmaster-learn/network

You can also still purchase Instructor Guides and Student Guides for Network+ N10-009, however this is only available for academic markets.

Hope this helps.

I have been told that some PDFs are available for the CertMaster Learn content. You may want to talk with your Customer Success Manager. In the CertMaster Perform platform, go to the Teaching Aids, check out the Accessibility Guide, and see if that helps.

I don't think I've ever really seen ZTP covered in any depth in CompTIA, beyond a cursory mention. Light Touch and Zero Touch deployment strategy would be more OS specific. Ansible would also be a player in that space, but again, I've only seen it mentioned in CySA and CASP and not to any meaningful specificity.

Where would you expect to see it?

Congrats on your latest win!

Stephen Schneiter said:
Yes, I agree! However, reminds me of the classic from

The PDF can still be available for download, but from what I am hearing, CompTIA would like to move away from PDF with all digital content. Time will tell.

That's the vibe I got.

Are you saying there are PDFs out there for the new Net+ and Tech+? Because my understanding is that content is all now in Perform...?

Rick Butler · Sep 9, 2024

Stephen Schneiter said:
We will not know for a while. I was told the expansions will not be released until sometime in 2025. So, that means the content and what will be covered is being discussed now. So, if you want to help contribute, sign up to see if you qualify for participating in development. https://www.comptia.org/content/network-of-experts

I remember submitting something for this some time ago...not sure for what... but I remember filling out a form...never heard back...something tied to the CIN though?

I am pleased to announce we are ready to launch the Cloud+ CV0-004 TTT series! Join us and special guest Michael Schmitz as he leads the Cloud+ TTT series using the CompTIA CertMaster Learn content. Michael will cover the exam objectives and provide hands-on examples as you strengthen your fundamental cloud technology knowledge and proficiency in managing cloud environments.

Please note that this series is only four sessions! That is because a lot of what is covered should be refresher from Network+ and some of Security+. So please brush up those series so you can stay up with what is happening in the clouds!

What: CIN TTT Series Cloud+ CV0-004 4 sessions
When: Sept 24, 2024, 2:00 - 4:00 PM Central Daylight Time, Tuesday and Thursday

Hi there,
Is there something specific you would like a better explanation on? Basically, this is a great place for teachers to share information with each other.

Happy to answer your questions,

The TryHackMe SOC Levels 1 and 2 are great for CASP+. You use tools like Splunk, and work with Threat Hunting and Emulation, Incident Response, and Malware Analysis. On the search bar look for "governance, risk, compliance" and you’ll find some solid rooms that tie directly into CASP+ objectives. These paths align really well with the exam's focus on enterprise-level security operations, continuous monitoring, proactive threat management, and incident response strategies. SOC Level 2, in particular, is great for learning how to detect, analyze, and respond to real-time security threats, which is exactly what CASP+ expects you to master.

I’ve been working with TryHackMe for a couple of years now and have completed SOC 1 and 2, along with the Pentest+, Junior Pentester, and Offensive Security paths. All of that really prepped me for CASP+. Honestly, when I took the exam, a lot of people said it was tough, but for me, it felt pretty comfortable. I’m sure that the combination of job experience and THM played a huge part in making it easier. Funny enough, Linux+ was actually harder for me than CASP+!

Thanks! This is very helpful

Is Zero Touch Provisioning a concept that's covered on any of the CompTIA
cert exams?

While I'm here, I welcome commentary that elevates the community's
understanding of Zero Touch Provisioning!

Dear Colleagues,

I’m excited to announce that I have prepared a complete training course for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) in Urdu/Hindi, and it is entirely free!

This course covers all domains of the Security+ certification, along with hands-on exercises, designed to equip learners with essential cybersecurity skills. My aim is to support individuals who face challenges in affording expensive training programs or struggle with language barriers, giving them access to high-quality education that can help them succeed in the cybersecurity industry.

I truly believe that this initiative will make a significant impact, especially for students and young professionals who have the potential but lack the financial resources or language support to pursue their goals. This free training is an opportunity for them to gain the knowledge and tools required to excel in the field and advance their careers.

I encourage you to share this with your students and community members who could benefit from it. Together, we can empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and help them overcome the barriers they face.

Grate Job well-done i am happy to hear about this.
thank you for spreading the gospel of IT .

In addition to the Cert Master content, can anyone recommend other resources they used for practice leading up to the exam or recommendations based on their experience with the exam, without giving away too much about the exam.
TryHackMe and Hack the Box have a bunch of content...just not sure what's applicable to CASP+/SecurityX, and what other resources are available.

I've got study materials like books, practice MC questions and flashcards covered.

Thanks!
