I have received an email from Amazon stating that the AWS Security Speciality Beta is back on, and you MUST schedule it between Jan 15 – March 2. Here is a copy of the email text that I received from Amazon on January 9 stating the following:

Dear MICHAEL,

AWS Training and Certification

I noticed that the content for the specialty exam has changed recently. The chapter 3 content "Identity Access Management, S3 & Security Policies" seems to be new and I think chapter 8, "Incidence Response & AWS In The Real World" is also new. The chapter on CloudHSM is now marked optional since it seems nobody saw any questions on this topic.
