    Two of my certs are good through 2031. I'm done retaking exams just because the version has changed.

    While I agree, I was making a point ;)

    Two of my certs are good through 2031. I'm done retaking exams just because the version has changed.

    There is one training organization that asked me recently to prove that I have the latest A+ Net+ Sec+... they told me that unless I do, they will mark me as ineligible to teach those classes. I told the broker that based on the pay rate (which is abysmal) I would spend neither the money for the...

    Knowing NIST

    That is exactly the answer that I gave, but I told the class that I would check with people who were smarter than I am to be sure. Thanks @Gregory Childers !

    Knowing NIST

    I have a couple of students who are telling me that on a practice exam they were asked to identify a particular NIST publication. While I have told them they need to know the talking points of all of the ones referenced in the course, would they be asked on the exam to call out that 800-53 is...

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    Most of my exams were either vouchers or extreme discounts... as we are MCTs I think we pay 25% of the regular rate. All of my CompTIA exams and ISC2 exams were vouchers. I agree though... the CISSP (which I don't have yet, but I did pass the exam and am waiting for the Endorsement process) is...

    What's in a name?

    That makes sense… but the Advanced Security Professional still sounds more dignified ;) I confess that as I was looking for something else yesterday I came across a page with a bunch of CompTIA certs that I did not even know existed... so I am sure that you are right about that!

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    You are 100% right. Something that I have found of late... the training companies that have worked with me for longer periods are more than happy to let me audit the classes (if I need it) and then provide me an exam voucher. I suppose that comes with the years of work I have put into becoming...

    What's in a name?

    I am sure William Shakespeare would agree that it does not matter, but as I preen over passing CAS-005 yesterday, I wonder if CompTIA's marketing department might not have taken a wrong turn on this one. Certified Advanced Security Practitioner... it sounds reverential - a title to be...

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    While I agree that the exams should be more rigorous, let's be honest... If someone wants to study and cram for an exam then there is no need for the experience... simply to pass. I am reminded of the paper MCSEs of the late 1990s. Hopefully they at least learn something along the way. I wish I...

    I heard about that. I am not sorry that I missed those days!

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    I passed CISSP with 100 questions last week... I was not aware that they had shortened it, but I was expecting 150 questions.

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    Congratulations! I just passed it this afternoon. It was, as you said, quite comprehensive. Challenging, but not impossible if you know your stuff.

    I never officially worked for Microsoft, but I was a virtual technical evangelist (on Damir's and then Pierre's team) for a while... and I was an MVP for many years. and yes, I still sport a MS laptop backpack (currently logo'd Windows Server 2012 and Veeam! :) )

    Jason I think you and I have moved in the same circles for years, and I am reasonably sure we have met a few times. If you knew me a decade ago (or even less) you would have seen me in Microsoft branded shirts almost all of the time... products, certifications, and even corporate logos were my...
