A far better question than what we've been seeing lately, Greg. This one isn't laughably simplistic and can't be answered with a simple Google search. So... IMAO, I think what's happening here is a product of evolution. As CompTIA has developed certifications over the years, the infamous...

I can't. We have rules against that kind of language on the CIN community. Just imagine, say, Tony Montana in Scarface. That should equate.

In a way - this kind of saddens me. I think being a non-profit organization was a strong selling point because there wasn't any corporate interest out there, pulling on things. And while I hope the investors aggressively keep the neutrality, I think there will always be that specter where...

Congrats on your win! What's your next certification goal?

I haven't had much of a desire to answer these questions lately, since they don't really do much to interest me, but I'll respond here, since I often like taking the contrary position. And while unpopular, I'm unapologetic about it: My take - I loathe, despise, and or otherwise hate slides. I...

Well done! Congrats on your win! What's next?

Well, we know that Todd Thibodeaux will be the CEO of the for-profit CompTIA. GTIA is looking for a new skipper for the helm. And a lot of good people are now looking for work, so if you can, get on LinkedIn and help 'em out!

Indeed. I was wondering about this as well, since ChannelCon eclipses Partner Summit greatly. I don't think there is a lot of information available on anything at the moment. There are a lot of pieces in motion that we're seeing now. It has me worried for how it will impact things like the...

Hi Frank: Great question. I would probably start here with the CompTIA Secondary Education page and CompTIA Spark which is tilted towards middle school. While the resources on these sites are a little general, it does, I believe, get you started. I do know the Secondary Education site can...

I think that's kind of why I stopped posting out there...but reddit has a fair bit of toxicity about it - they do seem to want to cut corners and get things for free. Perhaps they just don't have the financial support to get materials and vouchers - hard to say. But when I see the posts about...

Ahh, yes, that r/CompTIA Reddit sub crowd - people who see the value of certification in terms of salary, but do not want to actually pay for anything or complain about how expensive it is to get material and/or vouchers - so in effect, are really just kind of stealing. I used to interact with...

I thought I heard something about CompTIA doing some certification offerings with respect to programming and languages. However, concrete material on this is still speculative at present.

How many students have we all had to have that hard conversation with - the ones that tell them that they are mismanaging their expectations. Students think they'll get $75,000 by just passing their A+ I saw a video of a YouTuber I follow that had to close his channel this month from being...

That's probably true as well. IntelliTec used to offer free coffee to students, and one day, I walked in and saw cups stood up in a pyramid - a testament to obsessively trying to make some kind of statement about his coffee habits. And then I had another student who, I'd swear his blood-type...

Well, the first exam for A+ hit the books in 1993, and according to what we find on TestOut's website, it consisted of a single exam. So I guess @jasoneckert and I might have some conflicting information. Reference...

That's where it disappears. There will always be failures in people, process, and technology - that's just inherent to the human experience. Unfortunately, the real issue has to do with the follow up. If I were involved in that kind of screw up and I was found to be culpable, I would expect...

Sorry, but I'm starting to feel like the boards are being cluttered up with a lot of "brief" cluttery posts. While I'm not opposed to more activity - I believe CIN needs it, I'm finding that responding with 2-5 word replies on EVERY post, to me, is making it hard to engage in meaningful...

Well, there's not much to say. It was a question that promoted the concept of "post hoc ergo propter hoc". Serverless architecture doesn't make APIs less or more vulnerable. APIs are going to be secure or not based on how well they are built - how well they follow the latest techniques of...

The step that is missing here is what happens, following the breach and the subsequent cleanup of the mess. When a breach occurs, the cold hearted truth here, the part where I say the quiet part out loud, is that preparations failed as a result of People, Process, or Technology. Perhaps because...

Better. I appreciate the higher quality post in reply, rather than simple low-quality statements of agreement sprayed all over. I would tend to agree that having some knowledge of basic programming helps in cyber defense. I'm also of the persuasion that "to a carpenter, everything is a hammer...
