Greatly appreciate everyone's advice on certs and their experience with their usefulness (or not). I've been in the field for many years and have only taken cert training/exams when a company will pay for them. I find they're useful when looking for different employment (e.g., advancement...

Dude, fantastic signature! I grew up reading SH, and that is one of the main things I attribute most to wanting to specialize in this industry when I heard it was a thing.

My org budgets "premium" training opportunities for IS staff every-other year and this year it's my turn. I have a couple SANS certs (GCIH, GCPN) already and while I love SANS and think they're great, would really like to diversify my skill set. I've been looking into the possibility of...

Congrats! I took and passed the exam last week myself! Couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity provided by the CIN community!

@Stephen Schneiter I had to miss Thursday's CYSA+ Session 8 for a meeting and am watching on demand now. I wanted to see if it would still be possible to get credit for attendance to receive a voucher or if it is too late? Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy Independence Day!

Hey all! I was curious if anyone has any solution suggestions for replacement of a penetration testing/threat modeling (overall-security) reporting tool? Ideally, something that would work with BurpSuite and/or integrate with Prisma or any other vulnerability documentation repos is best. Thanks...

I received mine via email on 4/21.

Registered and looking forward to it! Thanks Stephen!!

Update: I passed the exam this Monday! I would say that it was one of the harder tests I've taken (and I have a couple SANS certs). I don't know that the Cert Master material helped a ton, it was mostly many years of diverse experience that helped me pass. Thanks all for the information!!

Congrats!!

Trying to do lab 3.5.12 Challenge Live Lab: Evaluate Findings from Assessment and when I show hints for the very first task, it references instructions on applied lab 001 DAST. Where do I find that? Am I just daft or is this a glitch?

Thank you very much for the update, Stephen! Have a great weekend!

Thank you all for the assistance! Studying for this exam has been an eye opening experience, despite my experience and other certs/trainings.

I've got 25 years IT experience and over 16 specializing in security, so I'm not coming into this completely ignorant. But in taking the unit quizzes and practice exam in CertMaster, the questions seem way different than the material I've been studying the last couple months. I'm also going...

I have not yet, but am curious as well.
