Just wanted to say things for the Voucher I used the book what an out standing book as well. I passed it yesterday with a very good passmark

I know have that want to get CYSA and SECURITY+ 701

In Case you missed it:
i saw today, that CompTIA offers TestOut Trainings in the Store...
Even for Non CompTIA Courses:

Cisco CCNA
Mircosoft Server AZ-801 .

Did not see that one coming...

Hey fellow instructors,

I'm Security+ CE certified, which means that I'm submitting CEU to remain certified. I'm assuming this means I don't need to sit the 701 exam to teach this class, is that correct or am I mistaken?

Wow! Insane numbers!!! It appears to me that the underground (aka hackers) know something that the rest of us don't..
I'm just sayin'!

Question about timing. I know that the new 701 test will be available on November 7th and that the 601 exam will be retired on 7/31/24. Our current cybersecurity course uses the 601 book and the CertMaster Labs for Security+. I am trying to determine if we need to make the change to the 701 content for the spring semester or if the 601 book and 601 related CertMaster Labs for Security+ will continue to be available through early 2024?

When will the 701 related CertMaster Labs be available for students?

Just trying to determine if I'm going to be able to have my students use both the 601 book and Certmaster Labs for spring or if we need to move to the 701 book and Certmaster Labs for spring.

Thanks!

hello, did anyone receive the reminder email or link for Security+ SY0-701 for TestOUt TTT session 12?

Hi everyone.

I'm going to be submitting my video I'm doing over the weekend on Monday, and I see on the form in part A, that they ask for a CompTIA Member/Partner Number, which is a 6 digit number. I am not working for anyone right now, and I suspect that is for whomever your employer is. They would have a CompTIA member number? If I don't have one, does it mean I can't finish this process? If I need one, do you know if there's a way for me to quickly obtain one?

Thanks,

DL Ross

Hey, hey, hey you all! I, too, am sharing that I passed my A+ last week!!! On to studying for the Network+ next.

Question...I wanted to confirm something that I was told about the CompTIA exams. I was told that if you jump to the Network+ exam and pass it, you would basically have the A+ incorporated, or something like that? I'm looking for the best way to advise my students that have completed prep for both A+ and Network+. Of course, I will also speak with them to see what preference they each have, but I wanted to get some expert opinions. Should they jump right to Network+ and not worry about going back to take A+ also? I've heard Network+ is easier since it's more focused.

Thoughts??

And the answer can be found at s.comptia.org/3tcAmzh

I vaguely remember a mention that the name of CYSA+ was going to change to Security-X . Was I dreaming of is that actually going to happen?

Does anyone know of a web site where I can upload a QR code image and evaluate it for malware? I know Virustotal can accept files, URLs, or hashes, but I would like to be able to analyze a QR code for legitimacy.

Submitted on Oct. 30, so maybe i am one of the last few to submit it; but who know, how many did submit on the last day?.
Just got my result in the Mailbox.. and passed..
Not that i had needed it, but wanted to take the Chance.
The Recording was the hardest Part, with Students, Me, Presentation and Chat on one Screen.

My company has changed its name, and as a result my email address has changed. When I attempt to edit my email address by clicking the "Change" button under "Account Details", I get a message that says changes were saved, but am offered no opportunity to actually edit the address. I am somewhat concerned that I will no longer receive notifications surrounding TTT sessions or other correspondence once my company mothballs the old email domain.

I have attempted to ask a number of the different Sysadmins on here, to no avail. Hoping posting here will make it more likely my request will be seen by the right person.

Thanks in advance!


Also still anxiously awaiting my DataSys+ voucher, but that's a different conversation!

I'm going to make some statements, and I would like for you
to simply indicate whether you AGREE or DISAGREE. If you
AGREE, keep it movin'. If you DISAGREE, share with me why,
if you don't mind. If you neither AGREE or DISAGREE, you
can indicate that you have no opinion (or none of my business )

Okay, here we go:

- To define Identity and Access Management, depends on the organization and its
tools. One size does not fit all.

- Identity and Access Management encapsulates how companies control user accounts,
passwords, and access levels.

- Identity and Access Management is a framework (I loathe the term framework)
that comprises several elements, that manage computer system identities

- The four components of an Identity and Access Management system are:
1) User management
2) Authentication
3) Authorization
4) Identity governance

- One of the reasons businesses use Identity and Access Management is because it
offers fine-grained control over users and access.

- Authentication and Authorization - are a couple of key concepts shared by all
Identity and Access Management systems.

- Authentication - focus is on how users can log on to an account

- Authorization - focus is on controlling which resources users can access
Note: Users gain authorization based on their role in the organization or their group

- Identity governance is a crucial component of Identity and Access Management
Note: Identity governance defines how an organization manages user roles
and permissions. Identity governance ensures that users have the
correct access level, and provides methods to audit user access levels.

- Identity and Access Management provides a centralized method for user access
control

- Regulatory compliance is a benefit of an Identity and Access Management system

- Identity and Access Management systems keep records readily available for auditing

- An LDAP server provides centralized user and password management. Is an LDAP
server an Identity and Access Management system?

- An Active Directory server provides centralized user and password management. Is
an Active Directory server an Identity and Access Management system?


Okay, that's it. Let me know what you think (or what you know)! Please, no inflammatory
remarks or comments - I'm sensitive

Looks like CompTIA has posted the first draft of the CloudNetX objectives. :happydance: In case you missed the link in the TTT the other day, here's where you can get drafts of exam objectives:


So what do you think of CloudNetX? Personally, I'm excited about it! I'm also wondering if it's enough of a jump beyond Cloud+. Thoughts?

Hello, I know this training has begun. How can I jump in?

On lab 28 in the new Security+ 701 CertMaster Labs, when trying to log onto the Windows VM with Jaime I receive the error message:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

When logging in with Ethernet set to the default of vLAN_SERVERS.

If I switch to a different Ethernet selection, I can log in but don’t have any network connection and can’t do the lab. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

I just submitted a ticket. I was wondering if anybody had a way around the error?

Thanks!
