Is the Security+ Enough to Land a Cyber Security Job?

Nice video! I’m actually having a tough time deciding which certification to choose. I’m in a GRC role and I’m not sure if CISSP, CRISC or AWS Solution Architect is next best step.

Taking security+ exam this week and next I will start studying network+. Thanks for the great advice.

Studying for the ccna currently and I’m now taking some practice tests on udemy. Hoping to get it and then go for security+. I’m interviewing for an entry level cybersecurity position so hoping that my lack of certs isn’t concerning.

Q. Hey so I'm interested in getting into cyber security cause of my uncle, but I have no background at all when it comes to networking, so my question is where do I start? Online or find a college with a course?

i had network+ few months ago, passed security+ recently, still seeking for job in the IT industry but with no luck so far, although i have a BSc in IT but no work experience, the only experience i have is my HomeLAB

I have my Sec+ and I actually just landed an entry level SOC analyst position. I am currently studying Cyber security+.

The questions are not valid. They're not valid because building ones knowledu is always, always valuable, so whether it lands you a job or not, it will lead to another security dimension that will land you a job and you'll have well-rounded knowledge

What will AI do to cybrsecurity industry?

Ejpt is what I'm planning to study for next. .

It is possible folks, I am transitioning to a new career in IT from something that is not related at all. I got my Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity and my Sec+ cert, I also have a security clearance. I was able to land a cybersecurity engineer role. Best advice I can give is to go to network/ hiring events and have a normal conversation with the hiring managers/ recruiters, be yourself, tell them you are eager to learn more on the job everyday, it worked for me, it can for you too.

Hi. I have a question regarding cyber security job interviews. Do they ask questions about data structures and algorithms? I'm a web developer and in our interviews
they do ask about data structures and algorithms. I'm thinking about switching to cyber security.

So don't skip A+ for Security+?

I do agree with you, Network + is the foundation and security + builds on top of that. You have to learn how a network operates before you secure it. Unfortunately when my friends ask me how to get into the IT field, I always direct them to security +. the DoD 8570 (IA level II) requires at least a security +. Even in the private sector I am seeing security + required for networking jobs.

What's your opinion of the CySA comptia certification.? I have 9 years of working in I.B.M technical support and operations and what today would be considered data centers.Just would like to know possible entry level salaries if I got both of these two certs.within the next 5 months.?

👍😃

so would you say go for Network+ first and then security+, or jus get the security plus?

Gonna finish my Google Cybersecurity certification in like 10 days. Will get my resume together and try to get helpdesk job while studying for Security+
My plan , no exp, no degree

I'm busy with network plus just passed my a+ cert

hey Jon is to good to go for Sec+,net+,PNPT and then CISSP

Great video, thanks.

I passed my security plus exam yesterday!! I leaning toward going for network plus because I have nooo it experience. :/

For this 10 years, i really learn by myself without cert, IT & Security is so broad, and i am thinking that i bruteforce my brain to learn everything about everything, and for this 4 month, i really interest in Malware Analyst, but before that happen again, im going to break this Comptia Sec+ and see how i can perform based on broad exp i have, and if i pass this cert, im going to explore more into Malware Analyzing …

Thanks you for this video. I just passed my security + and also have the google cybersecurity certificate. What next from here in your opinion
