    CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

    The challenge as you might imagine is both a scoring issue and the additional cost associated with building an exam question inside a virtual environment. A great but I think seldom used feature for course VM lab content is as an instructor you can use this environment to create your own custom...

    CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

    For those in the group that teach for academic institutions that are (or might seek) a CAE (center of academic excellence) DHS/NSA designation, it looks like the term "applied labs" clearly has a meaning. I'm working with a college currently seeking this designation, and they have been asked to...

    CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

    A key feature of the Security+ labs is the grouping of a series of a typical group of "assisted labs" that conclude with an "applied lab". With the "assisted" labs, they have detailed "point and click" instructions. The "applied" lab lacks that detail and is designed to have students, based on...

    CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

    Having taught both Security+ and CySA+ courses fairly recently utilizing the CompTIA student guides and labs for both courses, I'm finding that for CySA+ the student guide provides detailed content for the CompTIA labs but the same is not true for the Security+ learning resources. I see real...

    The Importance of Data

    As I approach retirement and turn my direction to "learning for fun" I'm thinking of studying machine learning, AI, and their focus on data. Yeah I know that sounds a little dry, but I've been reading up and content like that contained in this Article, convinces me this pathway will serve to...

    Thoughts on IOT Lab Series

    Let me provide a little detail via some notes I've taken that begin to outline what will be the focus of the article: Email to Emporia: I'm planning to do an article that focuses on Emporia device security. A bit more practical, there will be no surprise conclusions but I do think those overly...

    Thoughts on IOT Lab Series

    The Spring semester is history (grades in) and I'm scaling back from teaching, slipping into retirement. But as most of you know, I'm not very good at doing nothing. Below are the links for the first two articles in a series of articles that I think would ultimately lead to a series of labs that...

    Complete ITF+ Course In Canvas

    Sort of, with the placement of Professor Messer videos, but it relates to the old course (220-1001 and 1002). But that is something I may work on this summer as I get bored. Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll get you what I currently have and get your thoughts on whether an update...

    HTI+ Sadly No Longer Live

    Rick, loved this: It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” - Sherlock Holmes As noted in the article I wrote, "... enabled me to make data-driven decisions relating to energy use and...

    CYSA+ 002 Labs

    I think I've said it a number of times, but the three-year cycle we face with ANSI accredited CompTIA exams, coupled with the rapid changes in technology, has resulted in a reduction of technical textbooks and lab choices that are available. Think about it from an author or publisher's...
