    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    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...

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    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...

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    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...

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    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...

    How to keep CompTIA (A+, N+, & S+, CySA+) certifications active

    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...

    Realistic Presentation Planner for Comptia Network+

    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.

    Realistic Presentation Planner for Comptia Network+

    I focus primarily on the content if there is a time issue. One way to save time is to assign labs as evening homework after class.

    XK-006 is coming in the future

    I had 119 questions with 4 PBQs. Quite honestly, I liked the 005 better. Some of the multiple-choice questions were entirely too long for the topics they were testing. I also agree that they added too many topics that were not Linux specific. I'm well aware of AI and tools like Docker and...

    Facebook’s Linux Ban

    Facebook did not decide to block posts or groups related to Linux. Most likely it was an error with their algorithms. https://www.pcmag.com/news/facebook-accidentally-blocks-users-from-posting-about-linux
