CompTIA

I mean, we've, we've known each other for quite a while.

Um, I remember when you first called me about, uh, when it was CompTIA-

That's right.

Yeah

So that was a great conversation with Brad.

And I really, you know, I, I love talking to people that I know personally in the space.

Um, uh, Brad is one of those people that I met, I don't know, it was probably four or five years ago now, and he called me up just randomly out of the blue one day and asked me about- Uh, GTIA, back then it was still CompTIA-

Yeah

in a large environment.

So what I decided to do was go ahead and take what's called a CompTIA AI security certification, come from CompTIA, obviously.

And I passed it.

I found it to be a pretty good certification.

There we go.

So that should be large enough for you to see everything.

And like I said, this is the last subdomain in the CompTIA Sec AI Plus, and it covers compliance.

And kind of saving the best for last, This one's not going to be too much of a heavy lift.

We need to go, we need to go through this list.

Uh, should we do network plus should we do security plus what makes sense? What should I be doing? Now, if you look at CompTIA's website, they do have a structure and a path.

They can take you down.

In fact, maybe I can find that.

Um, And this would be kind of a map of the different certifications that you can go through.

CompTIA calls this their career roadmap.

So if you just search for a career roadmap on the CompTIA website, you will find that.

They've got a roadmap there with these people who are clearly real people that exist in the real world that can help you step through the roadmap information.

Welcome to the September 2026 Professor Messer A Plus Core 2 study group.

This is the study group where I ask you questions that come directly from the CompTIA exam objectives.

And if you know your material, you know your stuff, then you'll probably do just fine at figuring out the answers to these questions.

But there's only one way to find out.

That's even more of a surprise when I don't actually give you one.

So I'll make sure we get to that at some point today.

Our questions today come directly from the CompTIA A-plus exam objectives for the 220-1202 exam.

This is also called the version 15 exam.

He was at a public hotel computer.

studying for his CompTIA Security Plus exam and came across sensitive company employee travel plans.

They should not have been on that computer.

And you can see his text to me there saying it was passport numbers, names, phone numbers, computer, hotel, like everything.

And we can go to the next slide.

All right.

As I mentioned earlier, the CompTIA 10 Plus certification is perfect for your first-time learners.

I think this is mostly multiple choice.
