    CIN TTT Security+

    CIN TTT Security+

    I'll be leading the TTT where I'll be using the CertMaster table of contents and hopefully reviewing some of the CertMaster Labs. The 'CertMaster' TTT I'm developing will be for instructors using CertMaster or other instructional material in a commercial or non-academic setting. That's not to...

    CompTIA Xpert series certifications 2024

    Yeah but... I hold active CASP+, CISM, and CISSP. IMO Maintaining (renewing) CASP+ and CISM are well defined as the organizations and programs set straightforward, achievable requirements. It's been my experience that (ISC)2 very tightly audits CEUs that don't come from 'approved' activities...

    CASP+ CERTIFICATE

    I wager it's the size of the envelope and the prominent "DO NOT BEND' label.
