    Three Pillars of Cybersecurity

    In practice, however, those pillars are slightly different: 1) Compliance audits 2) Budget meetings 3) Blaming breaches on interns

    Dark Web Visit

    Pro tip: If you're worried about the security implications of accessing resources on the dark web, just task your students with getting those resources for you as "an assignment" :cool:

    CompTIA Restructure

    I'm somewhat disappointed that the title of the announcement wasn't "CompTIA rebrands as CompT-AI, raises $1B from H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo" :cool:

    H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo to Acquire CompTIA Brand and Products

    I think it depends on the content. Some content producers focus on creating shorter, certification-focused content and study aids such as practice questions. Those will directly compete with CertMaster and CompTIA training materials. However, larger publishers (e.g., Wiley/Sybex, McGraw Hill...

    H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo to Acquire CompTIA Brand and Products

    After reading this thread, are we going to have a TTT for Acquisition+ at any time in the future? I think I need to attend it to understand everything...

    XK-006 is coming in the future

    Exactly, the scope is daunting at best. By focusing on Linux usage (including Git), administration, core network administration, containers, and security, the Linux+ 005 exam had a strong topic base that made it perfect for Linux admins, those looking to move into Cyber, and first-year...

    CompTIA Restructure

    I'm just going to go ahead and ask the question I'm sure we're all thinking: After the acquisition, will the + symbol be changed?

    XK-006 is coming in the future

    The structure is still going to be the same because the book is designed to teach Linux key concepts in a logical way. But since my book targets both Linux+ and LPIC-1 (a leftover from when Linux+ was "Powered by LPI"), I'm hoping to just target Linux+ for this next edition. This would allow me...

    XK-006 is coming in the future

    Interesting - while I haven't written the exam yet, when I went through the detailed exam objectives in preparation for the 7th edition of my book, I got the exact same impression. The additions from 005->006 seemed bizarre, while the additions we had moving from 004->005 made excellent sense.

    DevOps Fundamentals Ideas for the new Domain 5 in the Version 004.

    Correct, I have a minimum of 160 days to build up prerequisite skills to the material I described, and 40 days to cover the actual material I described. From a learning perspective, I wouldn't recommend doing it in less than that time.

    DevOps Fundamentals Ideas for the new Domain 5 in the Version 004.

    As someone who has spent the last decade working as a developer, devops engineer, SRE, and cloud architect for a local university incubator, I can tell you that there are no shortcuts when it comes to building skills in the area of devops and SRE. What I can tell you is what I designed for my...

    Ruh Roh...More Bad Press for Gemini AI

    Because of all the AI buzz, I had to do a blog post explaining and positioning it that instructors at my college can direct students to. Here it is in case anyone finds it useful or wishes to share it with their students: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/demystifying-ai/
