Fellow CINers, I too passed the Cloud+ (CV0-003) exam today. This was an anomaly as I NEVER test on Mondays. Overall I was very impressed with the course material and the exam. I previously studied for and passed Cloud Essentials+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner. In my opinion Cloud+ is an...

"And there's this - nothing you'll see on a cert exam is hidden behind a paywall. You may have to dig some, but there's nothing you can't find online, even legally, if you're willing to dig around. " EXACTLY!

Great timing. I am working on the outline for just such a 'Welcome to CertMaster' video for my upcoming Sec+ classes. My question is where to post such a video. I don't want this on YouTube. Maybe distribute to students directly as part of the course welcome?

I think these are all great comments and completely on point in terms of addressing Chris' original question. I thought Tess and Rick made good points about many students seeking the shortest path to certification. The one thing I'll add is that pretty much everyone learns differently. I...

Make sure that each student reads and understand all of the exam objectives. Just because they are in the materials you cannot be assured that students read or understands the objectives. Just because you stood in front of the students and went over the objectives item by item you cannot be...

Earlier in my career I was a Certified Netware Instructor (CNI) teaching Novell Netware courses. The Novell training team required instructors using their materials to administer an end of course online student survey at the end of the last day of class. In that survey some questions were...

Since the actual data field is defined by the delimiter there is no suggestion that the contents of the fields are structured the same way. The field defined by delimiters can be either null (two delimiters back to back) or as long as it takes to reach the next delimiter. Thus delimiters are a...

All People Seem To Need Data Processing

Two minutes after I posted my last message I read about a colleague working through log data to investigate and respond to a DoS that morphed to a DDoS attack. IMO this would be a perfect CySA (and also a perfect Data+) exercise.

I completely agree. CySA would be a good place to include more content on interpreting message logs. I participated in the Data+ TTT and in my course development I'm specifically looking at using log data from Windows and Linux. Cisco and most network equipment vendors and many Linux distros...

While I like the suggestions that instructors should remain current and add to their instructional skills let me also suggest getting outside of yourself. Ways that you can stretch your skills include: Writing books (or eBooks), Making instructional videos (let me add the caveat 'for your...

Packet Capture.

Fellow CINers, I'm working on a project as part of the NICE Modernizing Talent Management working group. We're developing guidance for entry level job seekers in the cyber security field. I'm seeking your thoughts and advice based on what you tell your students. #1) How do you define and...

OK. Figured it out. I didn't put a check mark next to each of the six sessions at registration. I re-registered and have all the links now. Thanks all!

Does anyone have a link to the page that links to all of the Data+ TTT sessions? I attended 1 and 3. I missed 2 and 4 and need to watch the recordings.

You still have to cover hubs @Gregory Childers so that students will understand requirements for packet capture later in Security+. P-)

Thanks for starting this thread Greg. My experience (40+ white male) has been that people are often 'promoted' to SOC roles. Let me elaborate. The real starting place in SOCs I've seen is doing the work on initially investigating an alert. That's correlating log analysis, SIEM, help desk...

I was one of the developers of the Cisco CyberOps (entry level SOC staff focused) curriculum and I can tell you that developing a SOC course that would satisfy requirements from different organizations is a very difficult request. CyberOps was developed based on training that was being offered...

Thanks for sharing Jason. Funny we seem to still be working on the fundamental question: Is it cybersecurity or cyber security?

Interesting. I know what US CFR-410 (reference) is but I don't recall or cannot find any component of the US docs that relates to cybersecurity responsibilities. The site you provided the URL for seems to sell training materials but doesn't provide any clue as to the certification itself. Can...
