Single Sign On For Labsim.

I understand the reason for moving to the Single Sign On for Labsim, but doing that has caused a lot of issues for my students. Prior to this month, I was able to send my students temporary passwords if they forgot their passwords. With the new system now in place I no longer have the ability to do that. Because most of my students only have school email accounts(K12), the password reset procedure is creating a lot of unhappy students and parents. I already reached out to our corporate IT to see if they could whitelist CompTIA, but it seems to be a long and daunting process. I have also tried getting my students to move over to a personal email, but that still has its oen issues. Are there any suggestions as how to proceed with the issue? Are there any other instructors having the same issue?

CIN Exclusive Live Stream Event - Instructor Toolbox Session

Join us for our next CIN Exclusive live-stream event!

Get ready to participate in a hands-on, practical cyber exercise with CompTIA, Cubic, and Cloud Range Cyber. For the next CompTIA Learning session, we’ll be conducting a cyber range exercise focused on protecting critical communications infrastructure. This will be a workshop, so prepare yourselves to interact with experts as you learn unique skill combinations that solve today’s critical issues. Throughout the session, AWS and Cubic will outline critical ways to manage, improve, and secure Mission Partner Environment (MPE) networks and communications. They will outline ways to cope with Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments, for example. All the while, we will all work hand-in-hand in a cyber range. We’ll be working inline and in real-time with experts who will help you learn the skills to help unify and secure edge and cloud for better communications and outcomes.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
  • Describe the critical infrastructure attack surface at the tactical edge for enterprise and cloud environments
  • Discuss typical and asymmetric attacks that occur
  • Identify critical, hands-on security analytics methods for protecting communications
  • Create new cross-skilling pathways and learning opportunities with confidence
This session will last roughly three (3) hours. We will divide the action into three parts. In the first 30 minutes, AWS and Cubic will outline the opportunities and problems that today’s tech workers need to solve. We will then delve into a cyber range where you can hone practical skills and identify future learning pathways for you and/or your group.

Candidates can earn CEUs for the following certifications:
  • CompTIA A+ ce
  • CompTIA Network+ ce
  • CompTIA Security+ ce
  • CompTIA DataSys+ ce

  • Question
Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

Hi everyone,

Was wondering where I can access the PDF for the Instructor Guide and the Official PowerPoint slides for Training.
How do we usually get these materials? Are they provided after enrollment, or do we need to request them separately?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance!

  • Question
Content for Cysa+ CEU's ?

My Cysa+ is set to expire in Dec. and I have my CEU's for the SecurityX TTT and 15 hours of conferences. I had intended completing the SecurityX exam now but best laid plans.
Can anyone make in recommendations for suggestions as to training that will be credited?

I am no longer doing the Cisco track so I am looking at either,

CERTMASTER LABS FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs
or
CERTMASTER LEARN FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs

Has anyone got any sugguestions?

Thanks
Greg Porter

Did not receive my A+ voucher from the TTT.

To whom it may concern,

I made a post about changing jobs, and I hoped that @Stephen Schneiter had gotten my response to that post. I have noticed people on here claiming that they had received them. I am hoping that because I completed both A+ TTT, I did not miss out on the vouchers due to my job change.

I would appreciate any advice or help on this.

Thanks

Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

Today, I visited the CompTIA Store to purchase the Network+ Instructor Guide eBook, but I found that this product is no longer available in the store. I noticed a new product, CompTIA Network+ CertMaster Study, priced the same as the original eBook, and it’s the same for other courses as well. Can someone explain this to me? If I want the official slides for instructors, which are typically included in the Instructor Guide eBook, where can I purchase or access them now?
