    How to keep CompTIA (A+, N+, & S+, CySA+) certifications active

    I also have A+, Network+ and Security+ (except CySA+). I'm also facing the dilemma of renewing my certifications, as I would like to get Cloud+, Linux+ and Server+, but these are not included in the renewal of Security+ or any other certification above it. Having to get 2 (or more)...

    Instructor created labs?

    In the latest reformulation of the certification portfolio, Cisco redefined the equipment needed to conduct practical laboratory activities and, as far as I remember, it includes "only" two routers, two switches and an access point, in addition to the cables and workstations. I believe that...

    Am I overthinking the new Pentest+ 003?

    You forgot about the incredible array of tools and utilities for both security and system that only exist for Linux. Furthermore, many tasks can be automated through the use of shell scripts. Therefore, in addition to mastering the basics of Linux, include knowledge of scripting... &;-D

    Lost voucher

    Taking this opportunity, is it possible to request a new voucher? I received the voucher for the Tech+ certification, but it was valid until the end of 2024 and because of other priorities, I ended up letting the time pass. I regret it until now... &;-D

    Skills or Knowledge?

    Both are important. However, theoretical knowledge tends to be underestimated, while practical skills are overestimated, especially among beginners. Therefore, I PRIORITIZE mastering fundamental concepts BEFORE carrying out practical activities, whether through laboratories and/or real cases...

    Post Quality and CIN (long-read - get some coffee)

    The fewer posts and the higher the quality, the easier it will be to follow, but it will also be more enjoyable to respond to and interact with. Furthermore, I prefer to see few posts with many interactions (with quality) than just the opposite. &;-D

    JavaScript Blocker

    Are you referring to browser plugins that block the execution of client-side scripts (written in JavaScript or any other supported language)? &;-D

    Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene

    If you happen to share a workstation with family members, it may be a good idea to apply some GPOs (Group Policy Objects) to further limit the actions of these users. &;-D

    Microsoft Patch Tuesday

    This is terrible. And most of the time, implementing updates almost always ends up bringing side effects.In my opinion, Microsoft should rethink the way it "packages" the software stack that makes up the operating system. Instead of bloating, the system should be leaner and equipped with the...

    Data certification path is incomplete...

    Hello everyone! I don't know if this is the right channel to report this, but here goes anyway: through its blog, CompTIA published an interesting article about data-focused certifications: Data+, DataSys+ and DataX. The problem is that the section dedicated to publicizing the certification...

    Any Reason N10-009 Slides 99% word and no picture photo and graphic ? Very boring....hope can enhance!

    We cannot ignore issues related to copyright. Not every graphic or image is easy to create and copying them from other sources (without permission) is also not legal. Maybe we can use generative AI to help us... &;-D

    Ok. But the cost of postpone could be even greater!
