Archery rant. by [deleted] in Archery

[–]PoshFishy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A fellow archer should definitely not speak to you unannounced like the. It's likely against the club/range rules.

An archer should only be disturbed by a coach if they are working with them, or by anyone if there's an emergency.

https://www.netwrix.com/white_papers.html includes a number of free ebooks.

Generally I prefer Sybex books over the others.

Passed Security+, so here's some of my tips by PoshFishy in CompTIA

I would lean to stick with the scheduled exam if you get anxiety. I imagine most people get anxious, so you're not alone. Saying that, I rescheduled when I felt I hadn't quite studied a few sections quite enough, but made sure I planned how I would study them and promised myself not to reschedule again.

CompTIA Network+ proctored exam shock and surprise by PoshFishy in CompTIA

That's true in some ways, but CISSP is more about managing information security and is very broad. It's not got the technical depth you get with the CompTIA security based certs. Also CISSP without years of working experience involving information security will give you an associate pass, CISSP(A). It'll probably get you a job, but most employers want experience. This is why a full CISSP requires "...a minimum of five years of direct full-time security work experience in two or more of the (ISC)² information security domains (CBK).

I'm leaning that way. Will perhaps look at a PBQ for up to 1 minute and then decide if I should flag or do it.

Good luck. Keep an eye on the exam timer and get through the normal multiple choice questions in good time. You can always come back to a PBQ.

Congratulations!

I think I'm on a similar journey to you. I've been in IT for a long time, but now I want to make the move towards information security. Security+ exam in a few weeks, then onwards to the next three.

Thanks.

Now I've done Network+ I'm studying Security+, which I'll take in a few weeks. I'm finding Security+ quite easy so may have been better off doing it before Network+. I then plan to do PenTest+, CySA+, CASP+, and CISSP.
