    CEU's for other certifications earned

    That's good to know, as a matter of fact the CASP+ I think I did pretty well, from all the tests taken it had the shortest list of failed objectives, 5 to be exact and objective 4 - GRC wasn't even there.

    AI Essentials and AI+ expansions

    That is a great move. I don't know if you were in Atlanta. They explained the multi domain model, but I honestly don't remember much, other than they were thinking of being cert specific, like a course for AI directed at a Pentester, another directed as a Cyber Security Analyst and so on. I've...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I supervise people, but I’ve maintained hands-on involvement, just like many others I know. In my experience, I’m often the one the CISSP or CISM call on to do the heavy lifting, even though we work on the same floor and are seen as part of the top-level IT/cybersecurity chain, where managerial...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Interesting, you're the first person I've heard of who passed that exam while skipping that section entirely. Most stories point to that as a significant part, especially in the simulation. Did you take the regular exam or the beta version?

    AI Essentials and AI+ expansions

    I am waiting those expansions like you have no idea! Since I saw them in Atlanta I became really interested on how they will be implemented, the type of test, educational material, etc.....

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Maybe we’re approaching this exchange of ideas from two different perspectives—you’re focusing on what’s required to pass the exam, while I’m looking at it from the viewpoint of actual fieldwork and practical responsibilities of the certified person. So it's good to mention that one of the...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    It depends. If you lack foundational skills in networking, Linux, or SOC operations and jump straight to earning CASP+, you might be setting yourself up for a challenge. Unlike certifications from ISACA or CISSP, where you need to demonstrate real-world experience to become certified, CompTIA...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Thank you so much for taking the time to find this! I already hold the trifecta (A+, Network+, Security+), along with Pentest+, CySA+, and CASP+. I recently passed Linux+, and I plan to earn Cloud+ around Christmas, which will automatically renew Linux+. For the Cloud+ CEUs, I’m thinking of...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Exactly, that's why I think CompTIA should give partial CEU's 15-20 per cert towards your top cert, because they are not 100% aligned but also, they are not 100% unrelated

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I think in the end it may harm us as candidates. I get certified because my employer has an agreement with CompTIA for Cert Master / Test Out / Vouchers. Not everyone has this opportunity. But if this ends the only cert that I will renew will be CASP / Security X and will loose Cloud and Linux...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    You said it perfectly! You move where your professional journey naturally takes you, not towards a 1 2 3 4 5 6 scheme designed to cost you more money if you deviate from it, or more money because in order to get the cert you actually need you have to get another one that right now does not apply...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Yes, and like I said, it doesn't have to be a ton of CEU's, core certs 15 CEU's, specialization like Cloud, Linux, Server, CySA, Pentest 25 CEU's, they should start somewhere and then add Data+ and DataSys+ in the end we all need to manage data theses days, not only logs and scripts. We need to...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I certainly do, IT doesn't have a cut and dry path. You can start with Network+ and then move to Linux+ because your job requires it. Then you decide to move into a managerial area and get Project+ and end up with CASP+. Years go by and you decide to become a SOC analyst and Security+ and CySA+...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I don't know if anybody has ever thought of this. When we certify, CompTIA has certain paths and order of certifications that allows you to cover a whole set of certifications if you take an upper level exam. Like for example: you have A+, Network+ and Security+, you pass CySA+and all three...

    Just passed my Linux+

    Thank you all!!!!! My goal is to finish both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure paths, and earn all the stackable certificacions. I'm one cert short, Cloud+. Thanks to Ana G Mendez University I was able to get the material for Cloud+ from Cert Master as well as the Test Out Hybryd Server Core...

    CASP+/SecurityX PBQ & Lab Practice Recommendations

    The TryHackMe SOC Levels 1 and 2 are great for CASP+. You use tools like Splunk, and work with Threat Hunting and Emulation, Incident Response, and Malware Analysis. On the search bar look for "governance, risk, compliance" and you’ll find some solid rooms that tie directly into CASP+...

    Just passed my Linux+

    Wow! I just passed my Linux+ test. I don't know why but I spend more time preparing for this exam when compared with my Pentest+ and CySA+, I was kind of intimidated by the fact that the vast majority of these questions you were not able to do an educated guess, you needed to know the commands...

    Pentest+ delivery Firebrand training

    Yes I have, the labs are key to the course. I've taught Pentest+ to students who have very little real experience and zero professional experience. For that I try to move a bit faster through the theory so we can do the Cert Master Labs and delve into the Try Hack Me Pentest+ Path so they get...

    CompTIA AI add ons

    The main buzz is that it won't be a full exam like the CCNA Voice and CCNA Security.... It seems that it will be like the CE courses we have for A+, Network+ and Security+, but who knows

    CompTIA AI add ons

    Yes, I am eagerly awaiting on the method developed to add the AI to those three certifications. As soon as they are live I will buy the educational material to get them.
