OK. I'll share my secret to finding exam objectives. It's Google. You can find the DataSys+ exam objectives here. Also visit: https://www.comptia.org/certifications/datasys https://www.comptia.org/certifications/datasys#examdetails

J, Interesting point. I think you're calling out the difference between using and administering a container. I read that question as use the container app. I know some of my students who have taken the lab appreciated it as it broadened their knowledge (most never used containers before) and...

So I checked and learned that this exam objective refers to the Microsoft Common Language Interface Standard. Not a typo. Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a technical standard and open specification that allows programs written in different programming languages to run on...

For all those Security+ or security interested instructors out there... Law enforcement authorities in the US and Europe recently announced the seizure of data attributed to the Lockbit ransomware team. The seized data included thousands of references to the crypto keys generated to encrypt...

Thanks. Looks like a typo or maybe somebody enabled AI for the spell check. I passed this along to the content team.

Pearson Vue has very specific rules about the roles in the testing center. To the best of my knowledge an ANY Instructor CANNOT BE a proctor.

If you are just looking to facilitate student testing you could set up one or two small rooms with a desk, chair, and computer with nothing on the walls ; and then use Pearson On Vue. Setting up a test center with the plan to just provide exam services for your students while admirable isn't...

Great catch Ray! During the network architecture lesson I add comments about how these technologies are used in on-premise networks; in specialized networks or network segments (think Internet edge or datacenter), and (possibly) in the cloud. I then use the cloud architecture lesson to contrast...

Great topic Michael! A resource that I found very useful was this from Altassian. Agile development and Devops methods are compatible but not the same thing. This article walks through both agile development (the agile manifesto) and introduces a couple of the sources of Devops methodology...

According to the CompTIA Security+ Product Manager this reporting from Total Seminars is inaccurate. The English language version of the SY0-601 exam retires on July 31, 2024. The foreign (non-English) language versions of the exam will retire later on 1/31/25.

In my experience these 'Essentials' courses are great technical introductions to a technology. I completed the cloud essentials and was greatly impressed how it included topics relevant to multiple cloud providers and highlighted connections to existing network and security technologies...

I recently passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam. Two days later I received a heads up email message from CompTIA that one of my certifications was 180 days from expiration. I submitted the email from AWS for CEUs via Certmetrics and was very, very pleasantly surprised to receive...

If you are using CertMaster you should report the issue via the form in the Labs Help menu. My experience (east coast US) is that the CertMaster Labs support staff is very responsive.

Over several months in 2024 I will be conducting a series of polls of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) Community. Participation is completely voluntary and based on the assumption that respondents are Instructors (i.e. members of CIN). My goal in conducting these polls is to compile data...

Artificial Intelligence is great but it requires some developed body of knowledge and continual samples to work. In the future I'm sure that an AI based system will analyze and report on my blood samples from yearly physicals. But that system will base it's findings on years of analyses that...

I've always presented managerial controls as those that someone in authority requires that those subjects that are under that authority follow. Managerial controls require that a subject do something because that is the way they were told or ordered to do it. Managerial controls override a...

The IT or Information Technology industry continues to evolve and grow in many interesting ways. One of the most interesting features in the evolution of IT is the evolution defining what information is and how information is captured, stored and accessed. Information is often based on data...

Just an opinion but multiple choice questions (in my experience) generally don't work well in interview settings. Unless the options are yes and no. But note that yes and no questions also don't work well in assessing candidates in an interview setting. If this were a question on a...

Nope. Session keys don't do any encoding. Session keys are used by cryptographic algorithms / ciphers to encode data. The process of taking some plaintext and using a cipher and a key to produce ciphertext is encryption. When this happens in a computer or on a network that data is encoded.
