On Aug 10 I got certified in AWS Security - specialty Exam. Whizlab practice tests and explanation are good. But candidates should also learn the whitepapers, faqs, user guide on the specific topics that are being covered which will give more confidence in the exam and help to answer scenario based questions. https://www.certmetrics.com/amazon/public/badge.aspx?i=7&t=c&d=2019-08-10&ci=AWS00233285

Recently passed the AWS Certified Security - Specialty exam. Took me about a month to study for this exam and I'd say, this test is really a confidence booster for taking the higher-level AWS certs. I started my exam prep with the AWS Certified Security - Specialty www.pass4surexams.com course from whizlabs

This was my first course that i've experienced on the Whizlabs platform and it has been and continues to be one of the best on the platform! The Whizlabs instructors / team continually update the course content either per the latest version of the certificate or per their own due diligence keeping up with the latest and greatest information and services from AWS. I continually return to this course for practice and reference, especially when i am unable to access to my notes. (course works great on the mobile app as well -- love the playback speed control options) If youre already in the AWS field in any capacity and/or want to find a way to get into knowledge on the AWS cloud service provider i highly recommend starting with this course then branching out into a particular focus area (e.g. Solutions Architect path or Devops Engnieer path). I look forward to seeing what new labs and practice test content they swap out in the future to continually learn and remain in good practice.

My name is Avis Bruce, and I’m from Melbourne. A few months ago, I faced a nightmare scenario that many in the crypto world fear: I lost access to my $60,000 wallet after a malware attack. The hacker gained control of my private keys, and I was unable to access my funds. Panic set in immediately as I realized the magnitude of the situation. Like anyone in my shoes, I felt completely helpless. But luckily, a friend recommended CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES, and it turned out to be the best advice I could have gotten. From the moment I reached out to CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES, I felt a sense of relief. Their team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring. They understood how critical this was for me, and they took charge of the situation right away. What stood out was their transparency and clear communication. They didn’t make any lofty promises or false assurances, but instead, they explained the process thoroughly. They took the time to explain what had happened to my wallet, how they would recover it, and what the chances of success were. Throughout the entire recovery process, I felt informed and supported. Their experts worked diligently, using their advanced skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of my situation. It was clear that they were not just following a standard procedure—they were customizing their approach to ensure the best outcome for me. They didn’t rush the process, which was reassuring given the sensitive nature of cryptocurrency transactions. To my amazement, just a few days after I reached out to them, my wallet was fully restored. I couldn’t believe it—I was finally able to access my funds again. I was filled with an overwhelming sense of security and relief, knowing that my money was safe and that I had avoided what could have been a permanent loss. Thanks to CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES, my nightmare turned into a story of recovery. I am beyond grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and the peace of mind they gave me. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I can’t recommend them enough. They made what seemed impossible possible, and I’ll forever be thankful for their help in restoring not just my funds, but my confidence in the crypto world. If you'd like to reach out to them or learn more about how they operate, please don't hesitate to contact them: Company: CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES Website: www.h t t p s://certifiedrecovery s e r v i c e s.c o m WhatsApp: +1 (740) 258‑1417 Email:certifiedrecoveryservices@zohomail.com, certified@financier.com

Whizlabs offers great quality training materials, excellent certification tutorials, videos, Labs, simulation exams and Cloud Sandboxes at a very affordable price. While preparing for AWS Certified Security Speciality certification, I came across very helpful videos, tutorials and some serious challenging practice exams. I have been with Whizlabs for the last 6 + years and I can undoubtedly state that Whizlabs course curriculum and certification materials (especially on Cloud service providers' certifications) are top notch. If you can clear Whizlabs practice questions, then you are ready to appear and crack the actual certification. I highly recommend Whizlabs to all my colleagues and industry peers in the field of Information Technology.

Yesterday I passed the AWS Security Specialty exam with a score above 800. I studied over the course of 5 months. The Whiz Labs practice exams are very detailed and provides plenty of great information to help you pass the exam. In conjunction with Whiz Labs, I utilized Stephane Maarek's Udemy course, Neal Davis's (exam cram section) course, and Tutorial Dojo practice exams. I highly recommend all. Thanks Whiz Labs for the great questions!
