Yes, it's covered on a few certifications like Tess explained. Also on the tests for those certifications you will get questions where you need to analyze and interpret scores, and prioritize which CVE to address first. Others might give you a scan report and ask what action to take next. You...

Money is a factor, but remember, if that budget is not well spent you will get breached. You need policies and governance, risk management, controls and auditing, operational management and contingency. If you don't focus on all 5 you will get breached, no matter how much money you spend. This...

One of the main problems in healthcare data breaches is the supply chain. You might spend a ton of money, but one of your suppliers don't (vendor, doctor, lab) they get hacked and if your system is configured to trust them you get on the loop of the breach. As I said, I'm studying this for my...

To grasp the magnitude of the issue, visit the HIPAA Breach Portal, where a big number of incidents are reported every month. My doctoral dissertation focuses on these data breaches, and I can assure you that many organizations are barely surviving because regulations are not enforced as...

Count me in!

1. Problem Based Scenarios: create a Packet Tracer file with configuration errors for them to fix. Stuff that aligns with the exam objectives. 2. Practice as many questions as possible, maybe 10-15 every day during class and 10-15 at home. 3. Case studies that align with objectives, now with AI...

Hope the rebranding comes with an extension of the certification expiry date....

Yes, I've noticed that when students show me videos from whatever dude decided to a do a course and sell it for less than 10 bucks, a completely unethical move. I don't know why Udemy allows that? Maybe their QC is really low.... I direct the kids to the CompTIA academic store....

I came across a preview of a course on Udemy claiming to cover CompTIA AI Fundamentals (the link was in the second post here). Honestly, I’m puzzled—CompTIA hasn’t even released an official course outline yet. My take? Dull, repetitive, and uninspired. I completely agree with Jason’s comment...

Professor Chandler's question seems to lack clarity in this regard. If his focus was on OS-specific protocol handling, that should have been made explicit. In my response I just addressed the broader context of VPN functionality, which is consistent across platforms. The nuances of OS-specific...

The operating system you use—whether Windows or Linux—doesn’t determine why you’d need a VPN. Rather, the choice of OS may affect which VPN tools or clients you decide to use. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates a secure, encrypted “tunnel” over the public internet, allowing users to...

Yep, I worked in the Puerto Rico center and as soon as the transaction passed we were out of a job.....

If the objectives are published by CompTIA, tell them to go read them. That's what I always do.....

He mentions an old exam. If that old version is still live go study those objectives, period. If the old exam is not live study the new objectives, period, End of story.

Well, I have to now see what happens with me, I know that the CASP+ renews Pentest+, & CySA+..... Cloud+ renews Linux+, .... My A+, Network+ Security+ and Server+ are lifetime so I don't have to worry about them. But seeing your screenshots makes me wonder if I have to pay fees for both CASP+...
