Tips for the New CompTIA Security+ Certification Exam

It is currently estimated that 69% of companies are understaffed when it comes to information security. And 32% say that it can take six months or more to fill a single cybersecurity job. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being leveraged to fill in gaps in staffing, supplementing the hard work of security analysts, but it’s not enough. It is anticipated that by 2022, there will be 1.8 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs, which is an increase of 20% from 2015 (1.5 million vacancies). These unfilled positions and understaffed security teams only exacerbate the data breach issues that face companies today.
While colleges and universities offer cybersecurity tracks, the skills gap is not necessarily being closed by these degree programs. Organizations are seeking analysts with practical experience and performance-based training that comes from well-respected certifications, such as Security+ from CompTIA®.
In addition to certification being practically mandatory for security focused job roles, some 10% of all IT job postings now include Security+ as a requirement, regardless of the role. From network engineers to service desk technicians, cybersecurity is becoming a core capability within the IT industry, and Security+ remains one of the most highly recommended and popular credentials in the field.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as both the movie and the exam are garnering rave reviews, but it does make preparing for it challenging. Therefore, to assist anyone sitting for the Security+ certification exam, I want to offer advice and pointers taken from our CompTIA Approved Quality Content (CAQC) Security+ course.

Tech Industry Takes the Lead in Redefining Work

One common theme during the pandemic has been an acceleration in the changes taking place at work. Whether it is cloud adoption, remote working or general workforce practices, the rapid response to restrictions has driven new thinking about long-term operations. Many tech firms have been out in front when it comes to redefining how work gets done. Examples include: Major companies such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Microsoft extending remote work policies until the end of the year or indefinitely. Tech firms such as Zoom, Uber, Snap and Pinterest joining a coalition aimed at improving conditions for working parents. Salesforce launching work.com as a resource to help businesses reopen safely. Most businesses realize that digital transformation is only partially about the technology. The real key to transformation is changing workflow and culture. Technology tools open up new possibilities, but the full potential is not realized if the processes and behavior stay the same. No one kn

Questions a+ certification

As always, CompTIA exams like to really test how well you follow instructions. Read the questions slowly and thoroughly. Then read the question again. I found myself flustered with a very simple question. Here’s what happened: On the 902 exam, one of the interactive questions asked to configure a new disk while accounting for future redundancy. Simple enough! So I went to initialize it and set the partitions as requested. There was a second disk available. I tried to configure a mirrored array. CompTIA simulations are very limited and won’t let you really click on a wrong answer. I couldn’t configure a mirrored array and got frustrated. I flagged the question for later to avoid wasting time. At last I returned with forty minutes left to answer. Suddenly, my error come apparent. They asked me to configure the disk for future redundancy, not redundancy right now. I set it to a dynamic disk and called it a day. This is the kind of stuff they love to throw at you in a CompTIA exam. A few
