Content updates delayed … check here for study tips

For those of you who haven’t seen, Ryan mentioned in some other threads that he’s been knocked out with Tonsillitis and unable to complete the promised updates to the security exam. I thought it might be helpful to start a thread to collect study tips and resources for beta exam takers. I’d love it if some of you other gurus chimed in as well. 

I’ll get started this weekend posting some links to my own notes, and if I can find the time in the next two weeks, I’ll try capture some video walkthroughs demonstrating a few of the features. While I haven’t taken the exam (scheduled for 3/1), I do have nearly 20 years of cybersecurity experience along with hands on security architecture and development experience in AWS.

For the moment, here are a couple of threads and other resources to check out:
