Very interesting read. Thanks, @Andrew-Despres!

Hey @Japhet-Rivera, great question! The videos teach the concepts of the CySA+ objectives. The labs give the learner hands-on experience with the concepts. You will encounter exercises in labs that may provide documentation to review to reinforce the concepts. The videos and labs are developed separately; however, we recommend utilizing them together to learn and practice the content.

I just checked and the Cisco lab system is down! I was going to send you a link to a DNA Center Sandbox with Cisco DevNet and that system is also down. I would wait a few hours and try again.

Even though all these labs we are trying are free, Cisco does a pretty good job of getting them back up after outages like this. They are also improving the DevNet Sandboxes so maybe we are in an update cycle.

Keep up the great work in your studies!

I'm not sure if there is anything specific in our catalog regarding this specific topic. In a live environment, you may want to explore mapping network drives in group policy.

Thanks @daniel-lowrie87 that's why I asked. I would like to add Splunk knowledge to my resume. Since Splunk is a leading brand and with XDR exposure I think it would place me in a nice spot. Thanks for your time.

Thanks Ronnie!

@Numair-Zaheer,
These 4 assignments, all based on a presented-case study:

3 are 60 minute presentations 1 is 90 minute presentation

These four assignments cover five assessment criteria:

Relate the ITIL guiding principles to all aspects of Digital and IT Strategy Use a digital positioning tool to determine the appropriate position for a digital organization Assess strategic approaches for digital organizations Apply the approaches to strategy coordination and implementation Know how to analyze the VUCA factors and address them in a digital and IT strategy

You can earn up to 40 points across the 4 activities and you 30 points to pass this assessment section so that you can sit for the exam. I do not believe that word count is a requirement. These assignments will be graded on the following:
Completeness of the presentations and the quality of the information presented, etc.

We don't really know what AWS is doing behind the scenes for our NAT - it just works! For companies that do want to precisely control how the NAT functions, AWS does offer various solutions for NAT. Most customers, however, LOVE the fact that they do not have to worry about the configuration of Network Address Translation.

Hey @Obi-Enyabine, can you provide a little more detail on the VDI solution you are currently working with? I may be able to point you in the right direction.

@Jeff-Gortney,

Sounds like a great idea. You have to make decisions for dividing up your LUN across your SAN. Do you need larger and fewer LUNs or smaller and more LUNs.

Take a look at VMWare's documentation on this decision and some good considersations: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-2C8FAE1F-98F7-4E0B-AEA0-83A4FF16A252.html

I've been a long time ESXi user, which is fine but with a SAN, to fully take advantage of the SAN you may also want to consider vSphere to manage ESXi to the fullest capabilities.

Oh!! I passed with 90%

Hello @Donald-Stamps

In the exam content outline, this is the last topic covered, and in fact is something that is barely mentioned. However, in the exam you will see a question or two on the subject. PSM 1 is the foundational Scrum exam and thus the amount of material covered is not as large as perhaps a PMP or "overall" Scrum certification, but Anthony, Lauren and I do cover all you'll need for that certification. If you would want to go deeper, the PSM 2 and then PSM 3 expands upon these basic concepts.

If you would like to see those certifications here on ITPro, make sure you contact us through the chat bubble and let the team know. Thank you for checking in on this!
