Not exactly right, CloudWatch Events is now called EventBridge. CloudWatch still exists.

Are many instructors seeing students go for CySA+ without first completing Security+? Are training organizations suggesting or requiring that students take Security+ before CySA+?

I'm not speaking for CompTIA but perhaps you should read this: https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/922206/download?inline; specifically the section titled "Russian Harmful Foreign Activities Sanctions Program" and "Telecommunications and internet-based communications". Again, just my opinion but I...

I'm hoping all instructors out there have a wonderful (US Memorial Day) holiday 3 day weekend.

I guess we were all up against having our TTT exam voucher expire!

Congratulations. I too passed the Data+ exam on Monday afternoon. I found that the CertMaster Data+ course materials (especially Practice and PBQs) were great prep for the exam.

It's important to note that both Attack Surface and Zero Trust are SY0-601 topics and from my experience important additions to a successful candidates vocabulary.

Soapbox mode engaged... Oh no. So I was a party to a similar conversation at Cisco regarding CCNA for several years. CCNA was viewed as too generic and too many people were challenging the exam and passing. So CCNA 'specializations' were created. But after a couple of years they found that...

Does that mean there will be a SY0-701 issued later this year?

The reason I raised the question was to assess whether there is benefit to candidates seeking certification other than the stackable certifications? I work with candidates, some of whom are expending significant personal resources or in a program that is paying for their training to achieve the...

I don't agree. The product is sound and compared to other products on the market a bargain. Some student's prepare via CertMaster by browsing the material and others actually study, take notes, ask questions, and absorb the material. And in the end there is much more to passing the test than...

Matthew, What's your plan to recertify and maintain these certifications? Brian

Looking at various forums most noticeably Reddit, students discuss and target the goal of achieving 'the trifecta'; or A+, Network+, and Security+. Since these are three foundation certifications; what's the benefit? Is it a bragging rites thing? I noticed that some university programs - WGU...

Not in CertMaster.

Great suggestion Tess! There are also a couple of different implementations of Hydra using Docker. That would be a great way to demo the use of containers. https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/hydra and https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-nzbhydra2

Offensive Security released Kali 2023.1 or 'Kali Purple'; a distro aimed at Blue and Purple team members (great Security+ question) with a renewed focus on 'defensive' security. While this is a new release of Kali this 'purple' distro includes new tools specifically for network defenders...

Yes. I'm a NetAcad instructor and that is an option. I would suggest following Rick's advice short term because the student is probably going to be looking for employment in the US or another English speaking country. They'll need to be able to understand and operate in English. It will...

Most of the Cisco certification exams are adaptive. None from CompTIA as far I have observed.

Excellent article Steve! Great advice for any test takers.

There were some technical difficulties with the first couple of sessions. If you are viewing these for test prep I can attest that they are an excellent outline and structured review. You should deep dive on topics that you may not know a lot about (that was systemctl for me). If you are...
