    Success Story -- SecurityX PASS!

    Outstanding, Russ! That's a great story - and I remember seeing that Linux question. I was both amused and alarmed by it - since I tend to have a high-stakes attitude with every single cert I take. So I can vouch for that 'doubting one's self i.e. imposter syndrome. But it's always good to...

    Hey Katie: Well, all I have is what Stephen posted back in April about feedback for 2026. With most of the TTT's being TBD (probably between release timing as well as finding instructors to teach those TTT's). CySA+ is also on the TBD list, so I think we're all waiting for some more concrete...
