    Inquiring Minds Want to Know about Cyber Ranges

    The topic has never come up in class, with one exception. I was teaching PenTest+ at a military base as part of program of cybersecurity training. Other trainers were teaching CySA+ and other cybersecurity courses. The program was going to end with some blue team/red team exercises. The...

    When is the next Project+ training?

    CompTIA does not have the next version of Project+ on their road map yet, so I doubt you will see it until at least 2026.

    Inquiring Minds Want to Know about Cyber Ranges

    Seriously? I haven't done any labs in Security+ in almost 10 years, much less a cyber range. I tell the students the labs are there if they want to do them. They can reinforce the lecture. But they're certainly not required to pass the exams because CompTIA exams do not test for any specific...

    Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

    I use a Windows 11 PC and a Samsung Galaxy Android phone and I've never had a single problem ever.

    It's rare for anyone to get a perfect score because many of the questions are tricky.

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    People use that same logic for buying lottery tickets, even though the math doesn't support it.

    Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

    I've taken dozens on online exams using OnVue since the pandemic and I love it. The last exam I had to take at a Pearson Vue testing center was my CISSP in October 2023, because ISC2 doesn't offer online exams. My home office is set up for virtual training, and it's the perfect testing...

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    So their plan for increasing profit is entering an overly saturated market where a lot of the content is more mature? Or in some cases, absolutely free?

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    I still don't see anything in the Essentials series that isn't offered elsewhere by other vendors.

    CompTIA Network+ N10-009 - CEUs required for certification renewal

    No, it's still 30 CEUs. The web site is in desperate need of an update. There is a lot of outdated information, as well as inaccurate or incomplete information still on the site.

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    I can do LOOKUP, HLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, MATCH functions, and many more. I can do Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts. I can establish ODBC links and can connect to Azure services. I can write VBA macros and have most of the object model memorized. I've been using Excel since 1995 and have...

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    I must be a dissenting voice on this series. I don't see any value in the Essentials series at all. They lead to a "CompCert" from a 30-minute test through Certmaster. The CompCert will have no standing in the industry. The content would be better served through a series of webinars. Other...

    CloudNetX not showing up in my list of certifications

    I just received the announcement today. The CloudNetX cert finally showed up in my Certmetrics account. It also shows an entry in the fulfillment table so they can mail me my paper certification. And I received my Credly badge. I'd ask what caused the delay, but no one at CompTIA seems to...

    CIN TTT Series: CloudNetX CNX-001

    For those of us who took the beta exam and were notified that we passed, when will CompTIA update our portal to reflect that we hold the certification and that it is on our transcript? It shows that I passed in my exam history, but nowhere else.

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

    130 CISA employees have been fired. Election security specialists have been placed on administrative leave. If this doesn't concern you, it should. https://www.hackingbutlegal.com/p/americas-cyber-surrender

    CloudNetX not showing up in my list of certifications

    I took the CloudNetX beta exam in August 2024. Earlier in February 2025, I received an email from CompTIA stating that I had passed the exam. As of the start of March 2025, the CompTIA CloudNetX still does not show up in my list of certifications on the CompTIA portal. It doesn't even show up...
