How do I keep my certification alive?
Recently passed Security Plus a few weeks ago. I read on the CompTia website about the whole continuing education thing, but a lot of the websites offered are sites you have to pay for. I understand I have to pay the 47 dollars a year for 3 years, but what exactly can I use as continuing education? I'm in the military, so…

What's the diffrence between IaaS and PaaS
I don't understand the difference between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Is IaaS renting a dedicated server while PaaS is renting a Virtual Machine? Is IaaS unmanned hosting while PaaS is managed hosting? The book lists EC2 as an example of PaaS, but EC2 is really just renting a…

Passed Security+ with help from Darril Gibson's book.
I passed this cert on December 30th. The book was a very easy read and well done. It was my only prep for the test which likely was not the best plan. I passed with an 801and my guess until the end was I failed it. I had 5 simulation questions I was not expecting at all. And, I am sure I got parts of all 5 wrong. I also…

Passed Security+ Successfully!
First and foremost, Thank God. Secondly, I am going to be brutally honest. The only resource I used was by Mr. Daniel Gibson, because of this forum.

Passed!
Passed today with a 779. My advice would be to buy Darril Gibson's book and his practice pack on the website. It was the most helpful study material I found. The performance based questions were exactly as he presented them to be. The advice others left on this site helped as well, thanks.

Renewing Security+
Hello, It's probably too early to worry this but it's nice to know ahead of time. I know that CCNA Security renews Security+. I've passed Security+ on 6th Jan and CCNA Sec on 7th Jan. In this case, since it's just 1 day after, would my Cisco cert renew Security+ 3 years from now ? Or do I need something closer to the…

WTLS and ECC
Currently working my way through Darril Gibsons study guide and come across these two security protocols for mobile devices.

Prerequsites
When I get my A+, will I have decent enough knowledge to study for my Security+ or will Network+ be beneficial? How much overlap is there? Will I need Network+ for other higher certs like CEH or SSCP? Not really sure where to put this. Please move if this thread is not in the right sub forum?
