Maybe I can try and cheekily tag @Rick Butler who usually has great insight and tips for all kinds of questions? Apologies for bothering you if this is outside your field of expertise!

I use Cyberchef to demo hashing and encryption and analyse the Github certificate for that page to explain certificate properties and the chain of trust. Whiteboard for a comparison of symmetric/asymmetric/hybrid cryptography. :cool:

Yes, but how do I contact them? I may be blind (wouldn't be the first time), but I can't find a support link or email.

Good morning/evening/night everyone, Just caught up with the DataX TTT (great job, RJ!) and @Stephen Schneiter 's comments about CIN membership and the email address we use prompted me to look at my profile. When I signed up a few years ago, I used my personal email address and for some time...

Teaching CASP+ this very week! :cool: What I really look forward to is the crypto/PKI day. Finally a course that allots enough time to cover these subjects in the depth they deserve and not rush through them!

P.S.: Thank you for a great first session, RJ!

Hi everyone, Chiming in with @SteveM , CertMaster Learn or at least the Book PDF would be great, I always use the book as my first and main reference. Another question: Is it only TestOut this time or are there CertMaster Labs as well? Many thanks, Andreas

Thanks @Stephen Schneiter , see you there! :)

Hi @SteveM, I had the same issue several times, reloading the page fixed it every time. I think it might be related to focus, switching to another browser window to research a term etc. Cheers,

Haven't received anything myself, Stephen said he would give us some grace time and that it would be an automated process so I am waiting patiently. This will be the 3rd CySA+ exam, got certified with v1, sat v2 after the TTT. I really appreciate the opportunity CompTIA is giving us instructors...

As @Gregory Childers said, depends on your goals. CASP+ definitely very different from CCSP (I hold both certs) and both a worthwhile doing IMHO. Can't comment on Cloud+ as I haven't done that one (yet).

Right, gotcha. IMHO: Risk assessment first. You need to know the nature and size of your problems before you can think about how to tackle them.

Done. Plus renewed with the latest exam. Which was really interesting because it was the first CompTIA exam I sat where I was confronted with a real VM and had to solve a puzzle. But I passed, so looking forward to the next iteration and what it has in store. ;) Is CASP+ being refreshed as well...

Risk Assessment is always, always, always mandatory. How are you going to structure and prioritize your efforts if you don't know your risks and have ordered them by magnitude (whether it's quantitative or qualitative risk assessment is less important here). Framework: Tend towards a yes...

They are not valid a CEUs for the certification that the TT is about but they are for lower level certs: Which, I admit, is of limited value because renewing the higher level cert auto-renews the lower level ones anyway. They might be accepted by other organisations for their certs, though...

If the TTTs are still available (check here: https://cin.comptia.org/resources/categories/train-the-trainer.3/) you can just go back into the on-demand session (using the same email address that you used when you attended) and download your certificate for each session.

Pretty much so. Early in the career, entry level certifications are valuable. On a more advanced level, that knowledge is taken for granted.

Rather than letting the voucher expire, I'd give it a shot if I were you. If you don't pass you're not worse off than when you just let it lapse. Note that I didn't say "if you fail" because in my view not passing an exam is not a failure but rather an intermediate step. At least you know what...

As Jarrel said, it is a recommendation: Recommended Experience Network+, Security+ or equivalent knowledge. When you then go to Network+, it will suggest A+. If you were to follow this religiously, you would always have to do the full stack. When I got my first CompTIA certifications a few...
