My assessment is that Medium is seeking to be an electronic content publisher in the same way that many book publishers are. They are looking for original content that doesn't appear elsewhere. As I understand it, if many people read my Medium content, they will compensate me based on the...

Hello, fellow CINers, TL;DR Sign up for my newsletter at https://fordsnotes.substack.com A long time ago, I created a website and posted content that I developed while preparing and delivering classes. When I remembered, I would tell my students about that site. Sometimes, it helped, as the...

When the SSH login fails you'll see a message in the log file.

Those were my comments after reviewing the draft. Except for the intuition.

YES! Thank you Greg. I brought this up when I reviewed the Cloud+ materials before publication. All I can say is that there were different writers.

I believe yes.

A couple of ideas. I noticed some slide presentations from various sources have page numbers turned on and displayed in the lower right corner. If the presentation has many slides, some students will see that and get bored or ask how many more slides there are. If I have the PPT file, I turn...

I'm happy to report that I passed the CompTIA Tech+ FC0-U71 exam today!

And the for-profit entity will be called...?

A couple of challenges I face are assessing how well students grasp content and student engagement in virtual classes. I constantly seek feedback from my students. In a traditional live classroom, I can observe students' faces and body language, which helps me gauge their understanding...

Many things can prevent our students from completing their goals, including: • Fear: Fear of failure can paralyze them, while fear of success can lead to self-sabotage. • Lack of clarity: They might not know what they want to achieve or why they're doing it. • Procrastination: Putting...

This was tried in the past and went to litigation in the courts when one company had some certifications stacked (required prerequisites) and others challenged (have prerequisites but candidates can bypass some of those). If you look at the ISC2 CISSP program they dropped the candidate must hold...

Here is a funny but true story. When TAXII was being developed, everyone still used HTTP for transport. A bunch of folks got together and started working out how to create a secure data transport protocol for XML over HTTP. When they were finished and people started looking at their final...

My answer is a little different than that of others. I trained folks who worked for telecommunications companies and had jobs on equipment that had been phased out. I ran classes that met 2 hours per day over three weeks (30 hours total). My time of day preference is 10 AM-noon (avoids late...

Great query. I advise my rookie students (0-3 years actual experience) against seeking those higher level certifications that assume or require years of experience and instead suggest that they dig in on foundational learning. I find students who frequently start at Sec+ and then complain they...

The new revision of Cloud+ goes there, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a more direct comparison of public versus private clouds versus data centers. A number of well-known companies have retreated from using the cloud and gone back to their own data centers, and the rationale for that...

My family and I gather around a tree full of ornaments and mementos and watch all the Die Hard movies. #WhatIsYourFavoriteChristmasMovie?

This is just for CIN access. CIN authentication will stand-alone event for the duration of the construction.

Great question, Professor Chandler! CVEs are covered in Security+, CySA+, and CASP+/SecurityX. CWEs are not explicitly covered in CySA+, but I always include them in my presentation of CVEs and CVSS, being super careful to point out that they are not in the exam objectives. CWEs are essential...
