Greetings everyone and
welcome to the overview for
your Security Plus series here
at ACI. I will be one of your
hosts, Daniel Lowry in the
endeavor for you. Get through
this lovely little series.
I'll be joined by Mr. Anthony
Sequero. We'll take a few
minutes here to introduce
ourselves. I'm again, Daniel
Lowry. Hi, nice to meet you.
I have a few security
certifications, one being CYSA
Plus from CompTIA as well as
Pentest Plus. I have CEH
certified as well.
Man, I've been doing this
for over 20 years now. Anthony,
how long have you been in the
business? I've been in the
business since 1996. It's been
a long time for me and like
Daniel, a bunch of the CompTIA
certifications under my belt.
It was really fun to team up
with Daniel with some of the
episodes because I realized it
after the fact, I've always
been more kind of blue team
and Daniel's been more red
team. So it was great to have
kind of have those two angles
approach to it.
Notice I'm in the wrong shirt
color
for this episode. That's
okay. We also have one more,
which is Wes Bryan. You'll
probably see Wes as well as you
work your way through the
series. So he's a very smart
man. I didn't have enough room
or microphones for him today,
but though what are you going
to do? Right? Don't worry.
You'll see him and you'll be
like, man, this guy knows his
stuff. CompTIA is certified at
all over the place as well.
I've been teaching security
plus for, I couldn't tell you
how long the guy is a veritable
cornucopa of information when
it comes to the security plus.
Now that being said,
Anthony, one of the
questions we'd like to answer
in the overview is what's in it
for the viewer? Why would they
want to watch this series?
Yeah, I think this series
CompTIA always does such a
great job in the breadth of
material that of course makes
it challenging to train.
And as Daniel alluded to, it
was a joint effort of myself,
Wes and Daniel. And so, so
great to have so many
incredible topics that we were
able to present in depth for
students. So I really look at
this as the most comprehensive
security plus anyone could
take.
I would have to agree with
you on that. We spent a lot of
time and effort making sure
that we don't just discuss the
concepts, but we actually, when
we can get some practical hands
on, I'll show you some
demonstrations, really kind of
put some meat on the bone, as
it were, to those theories that
are out there for security.
Now that said, could you also
walk us through a little bit of
how the course is structured
and some of the things around
that? For sure. So
there are five domains that
we needed to explore with our
students. And it began with
general security concepts.
These are important. It is very
important to be able to speak
the language of cybersecurity.
So in the general security
concepts, we'll walk you
through what these most
important terms are today and
what they mean. We then dive
into
man, oh man,
the most exciting part for me
to watch is going to be
Daniel's section on threats,
vulnerabilities and
mitigations. Because as Daniel
alluded to, he's so great at
showing you this technology
instead of just talking about
it theoretically. Then we move
into one of my areas and that's
the security architecture.
How can we design our network
environments, our application
environments, so they are more
inherently secure? The next
domain is security operations.
Wes will guide you through
those day to day, week to week,
month to month, quarter to
quarter, annual type activities
that you want to be engaged in
to keep yourself secure.
And then it all wraps up with
security program management and
oversight. Not
typically the most exciting
area to study when you talk
about procedures and guidelines
and governance,
but I think you're going to
find we made it really fun and
engaging. Yeah, absolutely.
We spend a lot of time. We work
really hard to make sure that
this is not something you just
want to fast forward your way
through, but it's really grabs
your attention so that you can
understand and assimilate this
knowledge. That's it. Could you
take just a minute to kind of
give us an idea of
the exam? What's it like to
sign up for the exam? Some of
the details around the exam
itself. For sure.
This exam follows that
common CompTIA format of about
100 questions you can
anticipate and some of those
questions are going to be
performance based. So as Daniel
alluded to, when we do
demonstrations of key
technologies, that is so
important because you are going
to be doing more than multiple
choice in this exam. Now,
there are no official
prerequisites for this exam,
but
those of you that have network
plus you're having a great head
start because there's a ton of
networking we'll discuss those
of you that are A plus
certified. That's a great thing
to have behind your belt under
your belt. So
no official prerequisites, but
the more of our
introductory training that you
might have would be for the
better. All right. Well, this
is great. I'm super excited
about getting into this series.
It's
a lot of fun to make, so
hopefully you enjoy it as well.
I know Anthony feels the same
way as so does Wes. So if this
sounds like something that's
interesting to you, well,
we look forward to seeing you
in the upcoming series.
