    Cyber Threats

    Not a thing! But Lee does like to frequent places like Defcon and Blackhat. Meanwhile, I've acquired a Flipper Zero of my own...for...research purposes...

    Should CIN TTT (Live or On-demand) classified as

    Webinar, because a TTT is not designed to be certification training - it's designed to provide information on how to deliver updated content in the classroom. TTT was never intended to be a course where people could start off at zero and get their certification - but rather, provide updates on...

    H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo to Acquire CompTIA Brand and Products

    I saw this come through this morning. I'm not sure how to look at this from my perspective. Two years ago, CompTIA bought out TestOut and incorporated LabSIM into the CertMaster platform. I'm pretty sure that was not a cheap acquisition. And now, CompTIA is selling the CompTIA brand and...

    Cyber Threats

    I would add this to this and say @Lee McWhorter with a Flipper Zero. :ROFLMAO: That's some scary stuff right there. /r

    Cloud+ TTT vouchers, question.

    There is a two-week window between the last session and the time that the data is pulled of all the attendees. That window closed yesterday. After that, CompTIA has to run the list to make sure it's clean (which can take quite a bit of time to verify). After that, the order goes in and has to...

    Hey @Stephen Schneiter - there might be an idea here...?

    I passed the CompTIA DataSys+

    Very nice. I'm a OnVUE hater; always deferring to the ol' test center for my testing - since my preferred one is run by people I know and like, I'd rather they get the money for the testing. I've done Databasing in one form or another for...sheesh...25 years? The cloud bits and NoSQL...

    Official Instructor Guide for DataX

    Hmm... I guess we didn't get the book on it...i thought we did, since we did get one for DataSys+...been a while.

    Strange. Should be there. Did you not sit the Data+ TTT?

    I passed the CompTIA DataSys+

    Nice job, Tracy...how did it go for you? I'm working on it now, actually - I think I'll take a shot at it around Thanksgiving...

    Official Instructor Guide for DataX

    I believe so - that material is in the CompTIA Store.

    Datasys+ questions

    Also, here's a link back to RJ Sak's Train the Trainer for DataSys+ from last year. I've finally gotten around to where I am working on this (between CTT, MS900, and SC900 and work getting in the way...), If you spin up one of those, and go into the resources area, you can see the objectives...

    With CompTIA rebranding CASP+ & ITF, will they also rebrand A+?

    According to CompTIA's page, SecurityX is a re-branding of CASP+, so while SecurityX will be at the top of the stack, CASP+ won't be in the stack, per se.

    With CompTIA rebranding CASP+ & ITF, will they also rebrand A+?

    (y) You're right, since 005 is SecurityX where CASP+ was 004, like @Jose A Ruiz Marquez said. Which, for me, is the second thing I get to do in 2025, after redoing Cloud+. So many certs, so little time. (y) :coffee:

    Hey Lee: Not quite sure what you're asking...?

    With CompTIA rebranding CASP+ & ITF, will they also rebrand A+?

    I don't see CompTIA re-branding A+ since 1) there is an incredible amount of brand recognition surrounding that name and 2) because CompTIA has added in the addendum "underscore" certs to their certification stack. So, I believe that CompTIA is counting on that industry branding to advance the...

    Well, if CompTIA would like to fly me to London, I'll even buy a new hat for the occasion... *crickets* Thought I'd try. /r
