An even bigger question would be "Do we trust the world's richest man, whose businesses have billions in federal contracts, responsible for prying into federal departments that oversee his businesses? It sounds like allowing the foxes to run the henhouse.

CompTIA should've developed a standalone AI course, and integrated it into their Sec+, CySA+, PenTest+, SecX, Data+, DataSys+, and DataX courses. This series seems unnecessary.

Apparently, the DOGE website wasn't secured, so several amateur hackers decided to have some fun with it. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/doges-gov-site-lampooned-as-coders-quickly-realize-it-can-be-edited-by-anyone/

Typically, results are announced prior to the go live date for the exam. I've been waiting since August 2024.

So, who wants to be the first person to openly discuss how much they charge for teaching CompTIA classes?

My question is this. Will the new offerings of AI Essentials, SecAI, a+ Network, and a+ cyber have full CE+certifications? Will they have good for life certificates? Or nothing but training?

As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the DOGE employees had ties to cybercriminal organizations. Where is the transparency? Where are the controls?

DOGE is attempting to cut medical research grants, social security, and the Department of Education. This is not business as usual. And if they were looking for fraud, I have two questions: Why have they found none? Why are they using hackers with ties to cybercriminal activity and not...

It's in the CompTIA store. They have new offerings for the following: a+ Cyber a+ Network AI Essentials It's listed under "Other training" https://store.comptia.org/comptia-a-cyber/p/LAC-000-LAPI-24-C https://store.comptia.org/comptia-a-network/p/LAN-000-LAPI-24-C...

Another viewpoint: DOGE Is Hacking America The U.S. government has experienced what may be the most consequential security breach in its history. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/11/doge-cyberattack-united-states-treasury/

I don't view this as a political issue. I view it as a cybersecurity issue related to governance, risk, and compliance. I have emphasized the importance of GRC, due diligence, due care, regulations, standards, procedures, and ethics. DOGE is counter to all of those concepts. Where is the...

My concern is that the world's richest man, who has quite a few substantial government contracts, has access to so much data in so many different federal departments. Snowden had extremely limited access comparatively speaking, and had no conflict of interest anywhere remotely similar. Edward...

There are some serious security and privacy questions about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk, an un-elected, private citizen and richest man in the world, has been designated as a "special government employee," however it is unclear if he has been properly vetted for...

In May 2024, CompTIA announced a roadmap of AI offerings. AI Essentials was released in the CompTIA store last week. https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/press-releases/comptia-announces-ai-product-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains I have no idea what the timeline is for the remainder of the...

Passing SecurityX provides 25 CEUs for Cloud+. Passing CySA+ or passing PenTest+ provides 33 CEUs for Cloud+. Cloud+ only requires 50 CEUs for renewal.

If you have those four and they are all still active, you only have to renew the CySA+ and it will cascade down and renew the others. CySA+ requires 60 CEUs in a three-year span in order to renew the cert. The fastest way to renew your CySA+ is to take the most current version, assuming you...

If you want to get some responses to your solicitations for trainers, please remember to do the following: 1. Be specific in what you're looking for. Is the assignment contract work, part-time, or full-time? Do you require that the trainer be certified in the latest version, or just have an...

If I'm only given 40 hours to complete the class, I can do the lecture or the labs. I can't do both. Something gets cut, and it's usually the labs. CompTIA exams don't require hands-on experience. They haven't required it in a very long time.

I passed the exam on December 30th using Pearson Vue's OnVue. I have taken dozens of certification exams with OnVue with no problems at all.
