Wait, there was a beta? It's a shame CompTIA don't advertise these properly. Bah, another missed opportunity.

Congratulations on your pass! <3

It is a challenge.

Hello All,

I was wondering if I am the only one seeing this issue.
I completed the session 1 AutoOps+ TTT webinar last night, via on-demand on my mobile phone.
Today I used the same link to access the on-demand session again, on my laptop, to download the completion certificate.
The strange thing was that it said I needed to watch the 90 minutes to access the certificate.

I have been using this same process for the CySA+ TTT series without any issues. I downloaded the course materials and completion certificate on my PC after completing the session on my mobile phone.

One difference I noticed is that when I open the CySA+ TTT on-demand sessions, they ask for my registered email address. The AutoOps+ did not ask for my email address on my phone or my laptop.

Has anyone else seen this occur? My main concern is that my completion of each session may not be logged properly for my CertMaster access and my end-of-series test voucher.

@Stephen Schneiter are you able to check and verify that my session 1 for the AutoOps+ was logged as completed, so I can get the CertMaster voucher and be progressing towards the final test voucher as well?

This has happened to me before. I may be incorrect but I think you helped me see the issue. You stated you completed the CySA+ session on your phone and then was able to download the certificate from your PC. I think this is because it tracked as completed in CompTIA's system. But in the second one you did not finish it on device A and it held no record of your past time spent in the TTT on device B. I would be willing to bet that finishing up on your phone would know where you were in the TTT session. (cookies or the like?) I will have to give this a test myself.

In the meantime, I guess we can be thankful that we can watch at a faster speed to get caught up to the point you left off!

Thanks for the heads up. I forwarded the email that went out to everyone for the CySA+ content instructions to @janchester27, @shiftry, @Larry Moseley, and @ign.yoe. Sould be in your inbox

The scammer will not care because either A) there's no bad publicity, you're actually advertising for them, B) their account on LinkedIn is fake anyway, it's not their real identity.

You're probably right about that. It's like the faceless mob that's Reddit. There's no fighting that. All you can do is ignore it/them - which is what I do with LinkedIn as a platform, since I've gotten completely fed up with all social media. It's all garbage to me - a colossal waste of time. Connecting with individuals is a good thing. Beyond that, not worth the time.

Communities work well when real people communicate with each other. When they get overrun by zombies, it's useless to be a part of it. That's why I like CIN - because people just can't join and spam. And we do have a pretty effective method in dealing with trolls and low quality participants who make trouble.

I'm going through the on-demand for session 1 right now.

Bit of feedback: I'm not a fan that, for logging on Linux, the demo was done with Syslog and /var/log. That's a rather outdated way of working as most modern Linuxen use Journald for their logs. At least the big brand names which students will encounter in the enterprise do so.

I also didn't like that in the JSON vs YAML discussion, it was framed as "JSON is for data, YAML for commands". That's incorrect.

Both JSON, YAML as well as XML are formats for passing data, in the shape of key-value pairs, lists, dictionaries, etc. They all pass data. The fact that Docker uses a Dockerfile's data as build instructions does not make the YAML file "commands", just like Ansible playbooks aren't "commands".

Finally, in the on-demand recording, many times when Tyler's speaking about showing something on his screen, the recording shows the slides; not his screen. For example the Git-section, around the 88 minute mark.

Thanks for the feedback Tess. I appreciate the heads up about the slides\screen share in the on-demand.

I passed my SecAI exam, and immediately afterward I fell sick. My physiotherapist said it was due to heavy lifting. I was like, "How? I didn't lift anything!"

This is based on a true story, but I'm recovering well, guys.
Thank you so much, Stephane, for the voucher, and thank you to our instructor for the course and all the support.

Congratulations, well done.

The slides that I use for the presentation are the same instructor slides available on the reference downloads for instructors. I just modified the layout and design a little bit.

Try downloading them and using the designer suggestions within PowerPoint. They are meant to be customizable by instructors for their specific course and learners.

Hey Nick, just a comment here. I really enjoy your sessions and I especially like when the instructor responds to feedback like this here in the CIN. Amazing job!

Hello, Joined the CySA + TTT class and i have been following thro, My challenge is that am still not able to access the on-demand lesson Two for the Class.. Kindly assist to get the recording for the second lesson.. [email protected]

I watched session 2 on-demand with no issues. If you show up very closely to the end time, it may not have finished processing the video. Sometimes that has happened to me where the page showed up, but the presenter video did not. When I went back a few hours later everything worked. What happens when you click the link sent to your email?

OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications | OWASP Foundation

Aims to educate developers, designers, architects, managers, and organizations about the potential security risks when deploying and managing Large Language Models (LLMs)

owasp.org

Key Takeaways from OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications

Input manipulation: Attackers can trick LLMs with crafted prompts, leading to unauthorized access or bad decisions.
Unvalidated outputs: If you trust LLM responses blindly, they can introduce vulnerabilities (e.g., unsafe code execution).
Training data tampering: Poisoned datasets can corrupt models, affecting accuracy and ethics.
Resource overload: Heavy queries can disrupt services or drive up costs.
Sensitive data leaks: LLMs may accidentally reveal confidential information.
Plugin risks: Poorly controlled plugins can open doors to exploits like remote code execution.
Unchecked autonomy: Giving LLMs too much freedom can cause unintended, harmful actions.

Congrats on passing SecAI+, that’s a great achievement!

Interesting to hear OWASP showed up more prominently; that’s a good reminder for anyone prepping to brush up on those frameworks.
Thanks for clarifying the PBQ flow. Being able to flag and revisit them definitely helps with pacing.
The one‑hour limit is tight, so your note about not finishing one PBQ is valuable context for others planning their timing strategy.

Appreciate you sharing these insights, they’ll be really useful for members preparing for the exam.

Gregory Childers · Jun 24, 2026

Generally speaking, on all CompTIA exams that have PBQs, save them until the end. Do all the multiple-choice questions first.

The only exception is the SecurityX exam, which has a single question in a virtual machine environment. You can't skip it. If you do, you can not return to it later.

The forum you want to look at is https://cin.comptia.org/forums/comptia-webinars.32/ but note that no cost vouchers are only provided for a short time window after the Train-the-Trainer ends. So You can register for the CySA+ TTT which had it's first session today and watch it on demand and if you attend all sessions, you will get a complimentary voucher for that certification. You could not, for example, watch the Network+ TTT's at this point to get a voucher.

Hi Everyone!

I'm preparing myself on taking SecAI+. I just finished the on-demand TTT series released early this year and I also adquired a training in Udemy related to this cert. I've been certified in CySA+ and Pentest+ since 2021 but for SecAI+ given that this is an "expansion series" which foundations are Security+ I would like to hear your advice, recommendation, study guide, experiences during the exam, etc that could provide more insights on this exam.

Appreciate your comments and guidance

Best regards

I passed SecAI+ earlier today. Here are my thoughts:

1. OWASP was more prominent than expected.
2. The test started with 3 PBQs. You’re able to flag them for review and then come back to them. Remaining questions were multiple choice and easily digestible.
3. The one hour limit for 54 questions was almost enough time. Did not get to one of the PBQs.

Be strong and prevail.
