CIN TTT Series: AutoOps+ V1

Tess Sluijter said:
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 That's a rather outdated way of working as most modern Linuxen use Journald for their logs.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.

  • Question
Is there a bug with the AutoOps+ TTT on-demand completion tracking?

J
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?

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.

CIN TTT Series: CySA+ V4

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!

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?

Recommendation/Advice/Experience on SecAI+

owasp.org

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 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.

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.

Certification Vouchers for Instructors

Bruce Weaver said:
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.
