Congrats to Colin Kolb from Octorara Area School, you are the winner of the Bose Speaker from Wednesday August 3rd! We will be doing another drawing today as well, please stop by, see some demos, get some 1-1 time with our experts, or just come and hang out, we look forward to seeing everyone today!

In an earlier posting I discussed the importance of getting your name out there by writing articles. Since I've decided in retirement to teach less and write more, I thought it a good idea to share this article I wrote (and actually received compensation for). For those of you who are teaching at colleges and universities, I'd appreciate it if you have the same sort of opinions I've suggested.

Looking for a Data+ instructor available to teach in boot camp format, evening format, or both. If interested, please respond to the thread.

Does anyone have a desire to see a Cubs baseball game on Friday or know anyone who wants to sell their tickets for that day? I’m staying another day in Chicago and would love to experience Wrigley Field. Thanks.

Hello everyone!

So here we go with the Day 1 thread. Feel free to post, even virtual!

Kicking this off is myself with Dr. James Stranger!

Hello Everyone,

Just a reminder to come say hi to the Partner Support Team in the learning lounge! We will be raffling BOSE Speakers, CompTIA Swag and content both Today and Tomorrow!!!!

Be sure to mention this post.

Have fun!

While I was trying the the Official CompTIA Linux+ Instructor Guide (XK0-005) that was provided to us as part of the Linux + TTT (By the way let me take this opportunity to million thanks and salute Mr. @Stephen Schneiter for providing us these resources and for all his efforts in CIN in general) I came across of this practice question (Pls see the attached pic).
CINers do agree on the answers that was provided by the system? If not we hope if COMPTIA product development team for Linux+ do the necessary to correct it. I know you are busy with many things and minor mistakes can drop by (That is OK). As a loyal to COMPTIA I just wanted to help you guys to correct these drops. Warmest Regards

Hit the ground and got to meet a number of great folks already. @Stephen Schneiter and @Thomasina Hammond found me, even without the hat. I think the shirt gave it away. They're doing the last minute preps to get On24 out there for the virtual attendees.

Hope to see/meet more of you today or tomorrow! And if you're attending Virtually, post out here as well!



More to come, for certain!

To All Partner Summit Attendees -

The CTF is a friendly competition open to attendees at Partner Summit, allowing you to try solving real-world challenges that map to CompTIA Security+, A+, and Network+ exam objectives.

Have fun solving some challenges during your downtime at the Summit and learn a new thing or two - you'll even get to learn how to solve the challenges during a post-event workshop & reception for in-person attendees. Don't miss this opportunity to develop new ideas and test your skills.

How to participate!

1.) Register for Partner Summit - Remember Virtual is FREE https://connect.comptia.org/partnersummit/registration-choice

2.) Register for the CTF Competition http://cyberskyline.com/CompTIA using Code COMPTIASUMMIT22

There are a few steps to set up your account. I look forward to your creative LeaderBoard Names!

Has it been decided where the partner summit will be held in 2023? I will not be able to attend the one in Chicago this year.

I am trying to create a list of CompTIA new inclusive technical language that has the old and new terms. I found this resource: https://www.comptia.org/blog/inclusive-technical-language. It is not a complete list, such as I do not see on-path (man-in-the-middle). Is there a complete list somewhere?

From tonight's TTT and other associated posts...feel free to comment...

I would always print these out and display for Security Classes.

The Twelve Commandments of Network Security

1. There is no such thing as Absolute Security and there are no silver bullets
2. The three goals of security are Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
3. Always practice Defense in Depth as a security strategy.
4. People, when left to themselves, make the worst security decisions.
5. Security involves both Functional and Assurance requirements.
6. Security through obscurity is never good policy.
7. Security means risk management
8. The controls of security are prevention, detection, and response.
9. Complexity is the enemy of good security.
10. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt are not good motivators for security.
11. People, Processes and Technology are all necessary in order to have good security.
12. Open disclosure is a good thing for security.

Hello @Stephen Schneiter I was wondering if it's possible to increase the period of access for the PenTest+ CertMaster resources.

Thanks.

Greetings all!

I work for an organization that is expecting an 85% success rate, even during the pandemic. To them, success is defined by certified students. This was a pretty high standard to maintain, pre covid. I wanted to know if any one of my peers has been able to achieve this level of certification. If so, what is your secret? If you could share your success rate, that would be great as well. Thanks!

Greetings, we are pleased to announce that if you can't join us in person, you can now join us virtually!!!! Register today to join us for live-streamed sessions or watch on-demand. Register today! https://mypartnersummit.comptia.org/virtual-event




And if you join us in Chicago or virtually, you will have the option to participate in our CIN Capture-the-Flag event! @Stephen Schneiter can share more details!

Best,
Liz

Hello CIN Community,

Is there an Instructor Training Certificate for CertMaster? I'm curious. I did see a posting on here for a remote A+ instructor position that requires an CertMaster Instructor Training Certificate or documentation of completion. The job posting is attached.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

Do CIN members automatically get access to Cert master labs or receive a voucher for them? I am looking to get more familiar with AWS and Azure cloud services and looking for any and all resources to help me. Mainly labs which will allow me to get some real hands on experience.

Also, I am currently going through the Cloud+ CV0-003 TTT videos now but do we have any idea on the next time it will be offered?

Appreciate all the advice and help!

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to have seen so many of you out there today and hope you have enjoyed the first session of the TTT series. I've opened up this thread so you all can post, ask questions, provide comment, razz me, whatever - just would love to see y'all chat it up out here! We have seven more sessions and I hope you'll be a part of 'em all!

And if you're new to CIN, welcome as well!

Hi Everyone!

Following up on last week's question and diving a little deeper; In the past, what has your experience with CompTIA support entailed?
What worked and what did not work as well?
What can we do better moving forward?

We can't wait to hear from you.

Check back in on Friday for some information about the Partner Support Team!
