    Still time to join us virtually! Sign up now and watch later!

    At this morning's first session, James asked that virtual attendees take a selfie and email it to him. I figured I might as well share it with all of you. Yes, I've missed shaving for a couple of days. But with no plans to leave home today, that's fine.

    Educational Institutions and Ransomware

    In an earlier posting I discussed the importance of getting your name out there by writing articles. Since I've decided in retirement to teach less and write more, I thought it a good idea to share this article I wrote (and actually received compensation for). For those of you who are teaching...

    Improve Your Writing: Authoring Website Content

    It's not all that challenging getting your writings published, if they are designed to interest the intended audience and if they are free content for the publisher.

    Improve Your Writing: Authoring Website Content

    Truth be told, I enjoy writing web-based articles even though the compensation is often non-existent. I guess that's the teacher in me who's spending less and less time in the classroom but wants to keep teaching. Recent authored content has been forwarded to Certification Magazine, one of the...

    CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

    Thanks Liz for letting us know. Another issue I raise in this comparison of the Security+ and CySA+ CompTIA learning resources is below. Thoughts? 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...

    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...

    It's probably a safe bet that we all did, given the challenges imposed on teachers during this period of COVID-19.

    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...
