I am very upset I am no longer able to access resources of CYSA+ 03

Hi All! My district is trying to provide students with as much opportunity as possible to earn industry certifications which is great especially for non college bound students. I am at a public high school in Colorado with 90 minute block periods - each class being a semester long. We are going to be using the TestOut curriculum program and I hope to get some old computers and devices to have students practice with. I will also be taking the test along with the first batch of students. The goal would be Core 1 in October at the end of Q1 and Core 2 in December at the end of Q2. Typically I teach programming but have taught networking in the past so some of the information will be new to me. Any words of advice or encouragement are welcome!

Seeking Part-Time Cybersecurity Instructors to teach within the following program areas:

• CompTIA Network+
• CompTIA Security+
• CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+)

The instructor is responsible for course planning and instruction in classroom. Courses may be conducted in various delivery modes, such as on-line, hybrid and/or blended formats. In addition, instructors are responsible for student evaluation, and timely and accurate submission of required paperwork related to instruction.

I would like to know if CompTIA is facing any challenges in shipping certificates, My CASP+ certificate in certmetrics shows that it was shipped on 15th January, 2023 but up to now I have not received it.

Hi all as a SME For CompTIA

I’m looking to start a study group to help train and support the next generation of IT Professionals in Europe.

I'm looking to team up with others in Ireland to get this going.

is there anyone here that would like to do This with me ?

just an FYI This is to help train others this is not a paid position but rather a Give Back position to help others.

The idea of this is to pass on the knowledge learned over the last 20+ years to others.

Kind regards

Was reading some news this morning regarding bias in reporting about cyber attacks originating in the West (the US doesn't hack does it??) when the author cited this little bit of fun reading:

• APT Google Sheet - a free-to-view online spreadsheet tracking all known instances of threat-actor activities, irrespective of their origins.

Or as I heard it said, one person's government is another person's APT...

Happy Friday, y'all.

Tagging a few I know would be particularly interested in this gem: @Lee McWhorter @Bjoern Voitel @jasoneckert @Stephen Schneiter @Tess Sluijter @Gregory Childers

I thought of sharing this, I had a class of 19 students writing SK0-005 exam and all of them passed.

A client just asked me to train Security+ 3 hours/day, 3 days/week. Students already finished the A+ course. The Presentation Planner charts an 8-week Seminar structure. Is an 8-week timeline feasible with 9 hours/week?

Has anyone tried the labs from the TTT yet? I'm doing the first one and got stuck at the part where I enter the command to look at the eth0 interface. The step has you do: "ip a | grep eth0 > eth0_config.txt". When I get to the step to cat the fille, I need to find the ip4 address for this interface. The problem is, that this interface is not connected. The eth1 interface is connected and has an ip4 address. However, I still get marked "incorrect" when I use that address. Anybody else seeing the same thing?

As an instructor, is there any way to access my student's scores once they complete the certification exams?

Hi @Stephen Schneiter i have not yet received my exam Voucher for attending CompTIA Project+ TTT. When are we going to get it. Thank you

Are many instructors seeing students go for CySA+ without first completing Security+? Are training organizations suggesting or requiring that students take Security+ before CySA+?

I passed the CompTIA IT Project+ exam in September 2003. It was good for life, so I did not re-certify after it was renamed Project+.

Due to an employer requirement, I took (and passed) the Project+ PK0-005 exam today.

It's still hard for me to believe that it's been 20 years between those two certifications. I've really enjoyed my professional relationship with CompTIA.

How do we change a student's name in the system after a student remarriage?
What options do we have?

So here 's a question that came up in my head and one that I suggested to Bjoern after the session today. Worth some noodling...

When building a cyber program do you:

A) Get a framework? - Most times, people don't know what they don't know and they end up going out to the internet to grab some kind of checklist to "cover the bases" with respect to network security. Frameworks like NIST 800-53 and 800-171 as its checklist are great because they'll cover everything.

But a framework has the tendency for those who use one to cover more than we need. Do we pick and choose which parts to use? Can we say that we used the NIST framework if we only use a part of it? Going through a framework can create a lot of documentation that no one will ever read.

(kinda like all the documentation we write, but alas)

B) Perform a Risk Assessment? - The risk assessment is the way an organization can tailor its cyber program to meet its specific needs. An organization can walk through all its assets and services and define priorities.

However, I've always seen two things when doing a risk assessment. One, the defining the risk tends to get subjective. We can put impact to a cost scale, but probability is a little more nebulous. Say you have two incidents on a risk in year 1, none in year 2, and none in year 3. High risk? Medium risk? Or do we define it ourselves in a subjective kind of way. Sure that brings in the idea of risk appetite, so its different for everyone. The other thing I see in risk assessment is making sure we've identified everything. Seems like that's an ongoing process, like one day, you're walking by an office and notice an IoT device that's been there for an age, but we forgot about it in risk planning.

So, what do you think about this? Chime in and let's see what you think.

/r

UPDATE: I might have also wrote the question a little badly - the question isn't whether we do those things - it's the approach you take first in doing a cyber program build. Some will go with the Framework first, which prescribes a risk assessment, the other will do the risk assessment first which prescribes a framework. ..

Hello,
Is it possible to get some sort of record showing my TTT completions? My workplace is asking for verification on some of my older trainings and I would really like to include the TTT's.

I have been tasked to perform a CTT+ training, do you know where i can get any trainer resources like powerpoint deck or guide on how to conduct the training?

Thanks!

After an onsite bootcamp, out of curiosity, I decided to prepare for and take the Comptia Pentest+.
Mixed reactions from the result, although a very narrow win. Not sure whether to celebrate or go back and dig deeper.
Here we go guys, Comptia Pentest+
