This TH-cam channel has changed my life for ever. Thanks to your channel i have passed ITF+, A+, Network+, Security+, CySA+ and Pentest+ . Looking forward to this new edition
Commenting for accountability. I just finished my google cybersecurity certificate. Everyone said it wasn't enough and many recommended this series. Going to get through this video series in the next few weeks and then complete the practice exams. As long as im hitting around 85% on the practice exams, based on other ppls feedback i think im ready!
Congrats, I also just completed the google cybersecurity certificate, an landed my first IT job. First IT interview and got it thanks to the Google cert. Still studying to pass the secuirty + next.
Are the practice tests and notes updated to the current version of the exam? Im starting my learning progress to get certified and want to purchase his exam and notes but make sure its updated
@@WhereToFind sorry for the late reply, i had notifications off. I used the videos, a Sybex textbook by Todd Lammle, and the pocket prep app. I also took a ton of practice tests, and just for fun, fooled around in Packet Tracer just to turn some abstract knowledge into something concrete that I could see in action.
I plan to take the SecurityX beta exam this Saturday and I haven't watched your video in years! You are looking healthy and have lost weight, congrats.
In regards to the physical category, the 2 control types of Directive and Deterrent seem to be kind of interchangeable. How should we be able to tell the difference?
I do appreciate the videos, but you listed a guard shack under physical controls and then listed it under preventative operational controls in the grid?
On top of that his definitions of security categories are simplified to the point of being incomplete. The innacuracies that arise mean you could stick a security control into multiple categories. For example he calls a physical control one that limits acces to a resource. This means that technically a reception desk would count. Another example of contradiction is defining technical controls as one implemented by systems. That would suggest motion sensors are a technical control but they are called a physical control in the video. I guess i will just have to look where someone does not oversimplify their explanations to a point of being wrong.
I have a question: so on these courses we learn about ransomware, and if that occurs, just erase everything and deploy a backup. But what if that ransomware is more intelligent? Let's say it stays there for weeks before it's activated. In that case, all your backup files are corrupted too. What would you do then?
Hi i just want to ask how are the digital notes of this course? i mean, are these the printouts of the Slides of these videos or there is proper explanation in those notes with flow charts and diagrams? Can anyone who have the notes tell me about that?
Professor Messer thank you so much for doing this. I just bought a completed package from you with the hope of passing the S+ to advance myself in my IT career. I have a question though. In Control Categories: Physical controls... you listed - Guard shack is one of them BUT on the next page of the study note. Guard shack falls under Operational Category and Preventive Control Type. I am a bit confused on that one. Sorry if I am missing something. Thank you.
@kenvng I thought same. But I think the difference is the operational control is one that is done by a PERSON. So the guard himself (the person) would be the operational control; the Guard SHACK itself is a physical control. Operational = A PERSON/Guard controlling Physical = A guard SHACK is the controlling thing I think...
Hey I'm new to IT and I am studying for the 701 Sec+ but after some talking and research I've been told it's pretty difficult for beginners. From a career aspect, is it worth it to take the Net+ route then go for cybersecurity or should I just focus on the sec+. Im asking because I want to do cybersecurity instead of IT but I'm not sure if that's possible as a beginner.
Iv been googling this and honestly majority says it's best to get some networking knowledge as a foundation. Buttt that doesn't mean you can't do it though
CompTIA A+ is foundational, Net+ builds on A+ and Sec+ builds on Net+. That said, I wouldn't necessarily test for A+. Watch A+ Prof Messer videos then study for Net+ and Sec+ in that order. You could potentially pass Sec+ just studying for it and it alone but your knowledge will have holes you'll eventually have to fill.
comptia tests are not hard. if u know all the material[objs.] you will be good. they love to ask relative questions, so if you know a good bit about each obj you will have an easy time picking out the correct answer

This is what I'm confused about as well ^
me too
Security controls are not exclusive to a single category or control type.
A guard shack would fall under operational, it's useless unless there are people there to make it function

Recently passed A+. Now doing security + to get a job in cyber security.

Can anyone tell the main difference between operational and managerial category? I 😅am a little confused 😕

I want to know the answer to this as well

So is a guard shack a operational control or physical control. In this video it says it’s both.
A security control is not exclusive to a single category, and a guard shack could certainly be associated with multiple categorizations.
Do anyone know if the Security plus exam all scenario questions or just regular multiple choice?
comptia tests are not hard. if u know all the material[objs.] you will be good.
they love to ask relative questions, so if you know a good bit about each obj you will have an easy time picking out the correct answer
Guard shack is it technical or physical control?
Physical !
I keep messing up operational and managerial on practice tests 😢
Thanks for your vid.
How can I pass?
Mission started
Thx!
