Excited to share the first video in my CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Training series:

In this session, I break down the essentials of cybersecurity:
✔ The CIA triad and core security principles
✔ Threats, vulnerabilities, and attacker motivations
✔ Security controls and global standards (NIST, ISO, CIS, OWASP)
✔ Governance, compliance, and privacy requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
✔ AI risks and the evolving cybersecurity landscape
This course is designed to help students, professionals, and those preparing for Security+ gain practical, hands-on understanding of today’s cyber threat environment.

Risk Management & Cybersecurity: A Guide for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)

Risk Management & Cybersecurity: A Guide for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) | Atawa AI

*Description:
*This video, presented by Atawa AI, is a crucial resource for anyone pursuing a career in cybersecurity or preparing for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) certification exam. We provide a comprehensive walkthrough of risk management, a fundamental domain in the cybersecurity field and a key component of the SY0-701 exam. You'll learn essential concepts and practical strategies for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks within an enterprise environment. The content is designed to align with the core skills needed for security professionals, covering topics like vulnerability management and security program oversight.

Key Topics Covered:

The Risk Management Lifecycle: Understand the four key phases: Identify, Assess, Control, and Review.

Cybersecurity Assets and Threats: Learn to identify and protect critical assets, including data and intellectual property, from threats like malicious insiders, supply chain attacks, and equipment failure.

Risk Assessment: Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, and understand how to apply standards like FIPS 199 and conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA).

Vulnerability Assessment vs. Penetration Testing: Grasp the differences between these two critical security tests, which are used to find and exploit weaknesses in a system. We'll also discuss the different teams involved in a penetration test, such as the red team and blue team.

Risk Management Strategies: Explore various cybersecurity strategies, including risk avoidance, transference (like purchasing insurance), mitigation, and acceptance.

About the Presenter:
The video is led by a Certified ChatGPT Expert, Google Gen AI Leader, and AI Ethicist with over 30 years of industry experience. The instructor's extensive background in cybersecurity and law is invaluable for explaining complex concepts in a clear and practical way.

CEU's for Network+

If you look on the Proof of Participation, you'll see the number of CEUs and which exams they will credit.

View attachment 2409
Thank you for the reply. I guess I was hoping for a list of known TTT sessions that cover Network+. That way, I don't have to start participating in various ones only to find out they do (or don't) count towards it.

Have a great night. :)

CEU's for Network+

Hi, everyone,

I passed my Network+ in June 2024. In July, I took the Train The Trainer for Network+ 10-009 (I had tested under the 008 test). It was ten sessions for a total of 20 CEU credits. My question is what other TTT courses would count towards the Network+ CEU credits? Would DataX, Security+, or others count?

Thanks and have a great night. :)
Patrick.
Just take the Sec+ exam. It renews the A+ and Net+ cert.

CIN Sneak Peek: Data+ V2

In the Sneak Peak, you mentioned that the Data+ V2 will launch in October 2025 but an exact date is yet to be determined.

I'm just wondering when the exact date will be announced as well as the exact retirement date for the Data+ V1 exam.
Hi @Jerry93, great question! I requested an update, and here is the information I received. The Data+ V2 certification is expected to launch publicly on October 14, 2025, and the Data+ V1 certification exam will retire in Q2 of 2026.

Learning content for V2 will also be available on the 14th of October with the exam launch. I hope this helps!

CIN Sneak Peek: Data+ V2

Hi Stephen

In the Sneak Peak, you mentioned that the Data+ V2 will launch in October 2025 but an exact date is yet to be determined.

I'm just wondering when the exact date will be announced as well as the exact retirement date for the Data+ V1 exam.

Thanks so much!

CIN Sneak Peek: Data+ V2

The CompTIA Data+ V2 will launch later this year. Get a Sneak Peek of the new certification by viewing the on-demand recording. Join @James Stanger and @Kwabena Fred as they provide insight into why there is a need for Data+ and examine the differences between the exam objectives of V1 and V2.

Train-the-Trainer for CompTIA Data+ DA0-002

Hello @Marais Viljoen, the date for Data+ DA0-002 has not been set yet. The exam is not scheduled to launch until later this year. Once we have more information on the actual launch date, we will begin scheduling the TTT series for it. Stay tuned here in the CIN community for the announcement once finalized.
Thanks @Stephen Schneiter, I missed the Data+ V2 sneak peek. I would love to see the video. Is there a link to watch it?

Need some assistance and Help with A+ Pace

That's the only way I can see getting that done. 100% didactic - death by powerpoint.


You won't find it there - those kinds of things will be in the original curriculum offering for instructors. The CIN resources would just be things that instructors would share with one another (hints, training ideas, homegrown materials, etc) as well as Train the Trainer presentations.
hahahahha:ROFLMAO: Couldn't agree more about Death by PowerPoint, anyway, thanks everyone for your assistance, and help, I really appreciate it

Do You Report Cheating?

I agree that the 8570/8104 was poorly implemented. There should be exemptions for people in non-technical positions.

That being said, I can't condone cheating. It devalues the certification for everyone who put forth the hard work and honest effort to pass.
On that, we agree.

I've mentioned a story before where a colleague was talking smack because he had the CASP+ and I didn't. Well, eventually, I worked up and got there. He had to retake his and...well...he didn't do so well. Then I found out he was another braindump chump - where I busted my tail to get mine. Walked out of the test center with a throbbing headache but I had passed.

Suffices to say, kids, don't be a chump. Pass the cert right and the throbbing headache will be worth every bit - at least until you get home and pop a couple Excedrin.

Passed Network+ today!

Had a dusty old voucher lying around from the last TTT — figured I should probably use it before it expired and turned into digital compost.

This exam actually had a suspicious number of networking questions on it... 😏

Props to the TTT session for giving me just enough of a guilt trip to schedule it.
Now back to pretending subnetting is fun in front of students.
Teach them Magic Number subnetting and be their hero
