    AIPS and PIDS?

    When did CompTIA change IPS to AIPS and IDS to PIDS? Will anybody else in the industry redo their acronyms? Our industry embraces Man-in-the-Middle and DMZ while CompTIA tries implementing inclusive substitute verbiage.

    AIPS and PIDS?

    The lessons and practice tests offer an option to give feedback. Was that option visible while taking this practice test?

    A room full computer guys :(. This is another reminder we should get more women into STEM.

    Feedback for PenTest+ and Security+ Learning Content

    As a PenTest+ holder, I see little activity from those training PenTest+ or pursuing training opportunities of PenTest+. Seems PenTest+ gets upstaged by Security+. Can CompTIA put some marketing muscle behind the PenTest+ certification and training opportunities?

    Training Events

    Bravo to whomever has earned the SY0-701 certification already. The early bird gets the worm.

    I would propose a more important question, IMO, "What curriculum appeals to you more?" This will determine which cert you pursue first, what you think about at 2 AM and what doors you want the training to open for you. :cool:

    Comptia A+ Instructor posting - Momentum Community Economic Development - Calgary, AB, Canada.

    Almost a week has gone by. No official word if this is online or in-person. I think the original poster has to answer some questions to generate more interest :rolleyes:

    Comptia A+ Instructor posting - Momentum Community Economic Development - Calgary, AB, Canada.

    How are you managing responses from those outside Canada and/or do not have a State Competition Number?

    Security+ 601 vs 701 Break down

    It is good that CompTIA is going out of their way to retain exam integrity. NDAs are only strong when all parties agree to honor them. Secrets have to remain secrets. Heck, even our Supreme Court had a leak back in 2022. Is CompTIA's security better than the Supreme Courts? Hopefully...yes. We...

    InfoSec Quiz Question

    Yes, I know it. Leaving my response here vague so others can ponder the question...

    Why is there a new version of Security+?

    Maybe James Messer is using the Lindsay Lohan strategy of self-promotion. Good news. Bad news. Its all news, and helps bring in the $$. People will stop caring about the accuracy within a month.

    Thank you Carnegie. Perhaps next year.

    Focus Group and CIN Meetup at ACTE CareerTech Vision in Phoenix, AZ

    This is the first time I've heard of ACTE CareerTech Vision. Their marketing must not be as strong as what we see for other conferences :unsure:.

    Looking for Remote CompTIA Instructors (A+Core 1 & 2, Network + and Security +)

    I have seen this time ambiguity with other posts. We surely are an international community :cool: . I'd say...everyone posting gig opportunities here should initially disclose the time zones and the start/end times in those time zones.

    Common Types of Password Attacks

    MFA does not have to involve looking at the phone. I use Twilio Authy and have the app running on both my phone and my desktop computer. If I am at my desktop and get the MFA prompt, I just switch to the Authy app on the desktop and view the code.

    CloudNetX draft objectives--thoughts?

    Since they are putting an X at the end of the name, I think it will be the most advanced certification in that track :rolleyes:.

    Changing email address/login...

    What they should have done is: 1. Create a new email domain. 2. Create aliases for all mailboxes in the new domain. 3. For all users, make the alias email addresses the users' new primary. For example. Suppose you work for abc.com and they change their name to def.com. 1. All users access...
