Ah - security for the 'non-carpeted IT'

Wait - you have carpet? I didn't approve this. Back to the concrete with you.

CompTIA should have designated representatives for publishing proposed/approved new certifications and offerings to the CompTIA Instructor Network.

It's a shame that we find out about new stuff no sooner than the general public at large.

Seriously, you will find no advocates for CompTIA more knowledgeable or enthusiastic than CompTIA Instructors, but we're out of the loop far too often.

Pshhhaww... C'mon Greg. You're an instructor. Being the last to know is part of the job, mate.

It really does tie the room together.

Pshhhaww... C'mon Greg. You're an instructor. Being the last to know is part of the job, mate.

I'm a hard floor, tile kinda guy. I wear western boots, so they sound so much nicer when slowly, ominously walking across the room.

I'm half expecting to hear about new certifications from a student holding a freshly printed poster at this point and of course I completely agree we are the ones who carry the CompTIA flag every day. Giving instructors a headsup or a little early access would be beneficial even if it was just a secret handshake newsletter...

New one ???

 

[precious]

New one ???

Yes, it seems like there is always a “new one”

At our age, slowly is the only speed we have left.

Speak for yourself, mate. I hit the gym three times a week. While I'm not as fast on my feet as I used to be when I was young and running 12 min two milers for the Army, I can still hold my own.

Speaking of which, today's a gym day and the pool awaits - a new part of my routine.

That's the best part of living in Florida. Pool season lasts a lot longer.

Yes. I believe that this new course will cover the Purdue Model for ICS.

What Is the Purdue Model for ICS Security? | Zscaler

Industrial control system (ICS) security is based on the Purdue model, which segments physical processes, sensors, supervisory controls, operations & logistics.

Many people work for utilities for which our Security+ objectives are not a good fit. We mention Bastion hosts, jump servers, and SCADA, but we could do better.
