DoD often requires Sec+. I don't make the rules. I'm just the messenger
Yes I just to be a contractor for the dod they require them.
In my experience A+ is a base for any career path in IT or Cyber Security. A+ alone can help you get over the needing 1yr of experience because thats the recommendation prior to taking A+. Ive seen way too many IT Networking Cyber professionals who may do a specific role in their field however find a hard time pivoting to other roles because they dont know the basics. Id definitely recommed A+ prior to gaining any other cert. I got security plus and set up a home lab so I was technically a computer tech before my first role and it was so much easier going into a sys admin role that way
True security plus is entry level, however the skill you learned from this certification definitely will help you in your future IT career..If you want to be good in cybersecurity you must have that technical foundation, if not you will have a job but you won’t understand what you’re doing and you won’t be able to add any value to your team….
How you can truly verify and analyze if the authentication protocol used by your Wireless is compliant if you don’t have any foundation?
I don’t believe in zero technical foundation to succeed in this field.you must have good knowledge in networking, application, storage, operating system and your life will be easier in any type of cyber jobs…
I appreciate the honesty from the brother and Ms. Beez, but in my opinion, this industry is becoming saturated, and layoffs may be on the horizon as companies turn to AI to streamline processes. Personally, I'm pursuing a stable remote job to support myself and my wife while living overseas. I'm fortunate that our children from previous relationships are grown and independent, so it's just the two of us. She's as hardworking as I am, but I wouldn't recommend this career path for someone who needs to support a family on an entry-level salary.
What career path do you recommend, then?
@@francisfrancis1153 with me i focused on my learning weakness and that is math. So I did the research and I determined that I'm going for front end developer.
These certs can have some merit obviously if you are looking at a entry level job for Cybersecurity or IT in general. For government which is where most people look to get their start, DoD 8570 outlines the certs you would need to either have or in some case be able to obtain within a certain time frame to keep your position. A+ and Net+ are foundational certs that will give you the basics of computing and networking. Sec+ covers a little of both pluse a lot of other areas of Cyber Security etc. There is a lot more that's involved that I don't want to type out but first decide what area of Cyber you want to be in then look at the requirements finally look at the cert process and even more find a way to gain experience even before your cert is complete. It's totally possible I have done and have had co-workers who have done the same.
Thanks brother. That information really helped.
Glad I came across this. I just got the Sec+ and have started studying the CCNA. I was told I needed that basic foundation in order to get into Cybersecurity. What are your thoughts on the CCNA & that advice?
strong foundational knowledge in networking is necessary, but a ccna isn't, in my opinion. unless you're looking to move specifically into a netsec role, a network + will suffice.
@@TechFiend44 Thanks!
Thanks for the info!
So what do i go after ? I got qualys guard certified and Nist RMF what else do i need or where do i look
How long did it take you to complete the Qualys training?
Fortinet, Palo Alto, and many other companies create certifications focused on their tools similar to Qualys. Figure out where you want to go and build your certification path based on the tools used in the role you want.
@@marioforte3212 let’s say i wanna do ISA or get into GRC
@@marioforte3212 hell idk fam all the shit i look up nobody got anything specifics , Like i wanna do risk analysis or vulnerability scanning or something
@@marioforte3212 where would you recommend to learn palo alto?
good info from Boyd...some of this is just common sense logic and really is nothing new in ANY venture...its all about what you bring to the table. how in the world does an entry level participant think they can come into the field and make demands (in ANY venue) for top tier level compensation is beyond me. we all need to learn you have to start from the bottom to get upwards to the top. this is basic Life and Economics 101 stuff.
GOOD TALK😃👍❗️
I hold CompTIA a and I am moving to CompTIA security and CompTIA CYSA. Did you mean not to involve this certs in your CV
Do job fairs work I’m struggling to get an interview for Manuel Qa after finishing careerist course
good boy!
I’m in school now
