Knowing NIST

[Mitch Garvis]

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 privacy controls while 800-61 is cyber risk management? I do not remember a question like that... although I think another exam I sat had them.

Thanks in advance!

To my knowledge, CompTIA has never asked questions about specific NIST special publications or ISO standards.

CISM and CISSP do ask those types of questions.

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 !

Prominent in my SecurityX notes. Sitting that test Thursday next week.

I seem to remember a couple questions that had the NIST publications identified in the answers. Can't give you a lot of details, since it's been a little while and I've had my head down on so many other things as of late. However, knowing the relevant NIST certs, to me, is a good thing always.

For starters, I passed SecurityX on Thursday. Slightly more miserable than PenTest+ a few years back.

NIST was not on the test. However, this was the first time I have ever seen DKIM/SPF on a test.

145 minutes with no bathroom break. Not sure how long CompTIA can sustain that policy.

Once you do CISSP\ISSAP\CISM\CRISC \GSEC , you'll realize its industry norm. Its a long exam . You can take a bathroom break but the clock will run

I was done in an hour. I've never needed a break during an exam. If I have to go, I go before the exam.

I`ve seen DKIM/SPF in questions. I believe even with CompTIA before

You should read the Rules again for CompTIA Exams. You are allowed to take a break when ever u want when asking the Testcenter Admin. As Gregory said, you time runs.. There are no scheduled Breaks..

EC Council Master: 6h, and you are not allowed to take a break..

EC-Council has fallen out of favor in the industry. It's overpriced, the certs don't provide a lot of value, and the leaders have been found guilty of both plagiarism and sexism. If the DoD dropped them from the 8140 list, they would completely drop off the radar.

I am looking at EC Council Certified Network Defender (CND) what puts me off is the amount of material your expected to deliver over a short period of time
