Best Entry Level Cyber Security Certifications: Top 5 Certifications for Cyber Security Beginners

[@KareemMartintv]

The CompTia Security+ objectives are a great starting point for new cyber security beginners.

[@mwaygp]

I would not recommend anyone to do the giac certifications, they cost $2500 and only worth getting if a employee will pay for them or college.

Should I take CompTIA Network+ and CCNA before the CompTIA Security+ for entry level in cybersecurity?

[@reol2559]

ccna is better , take ccna and after that u can get sec+

Very informative Sandra! Thanks! I'm enjoying Luca's channel too. Please tell him not to compare himself to you. He will never be as great as you!! Lol! Just teasing!

Hello, What do you think about the ISC2 CAP exam?

[@michaelkershaw6368]

If you want to become a role of ISSO or ISSM. The CAP is it!

[@kajukuja]

Thank you for video. Just getting started and it's a bit overwhelming.

[@WithSandra]

Glad this was helpful Juan! Take things at your own pace, otherwise it will definitely get overwhelming, especially just getting into security, good luck and wishing you the best!

Thank you!

I joined a Cyber Security bootcamp because of your channel Sandra, thank you so much !

[@layers_of_life3593]

Could u please tell me where did u join the cybersecurity bootcamp?

[@JonWyattMedia]

Passed my Sec+ and CySA+. Taking Net+, CCNA, CASP+, and then CISSP.

[@Stoneface_]

Stop stacking certs and get the experience. Experience is more important. Since you already have the security+, apply to noc/soc roles. Do labs as well. Also, you need at least 5 years to take the CISSP. It's not an entry-level cert...

You are an animal !

Hey Jassim, thanks so much for watching!😁

[@programmerdev7251]

Why don't you do cyber security and ethical hacking courses on the channel

[@WithSandra]

I currently dont work as an EH anymore but as a Security Analyst, so the most hacking I do is for CTFs, and ik there’s a lot of really pro hacking channels on KZbin so I always figured it’d be best to learn from them instead lol (which i also do), but if you guys ever want a more beginner perspective for hacking/pentesting lmk! :)

[@danswrangboro8851]

I think COMTIASecurity+ is the beginner friendly.

[@CyberDavid2413]

Awesome video Sandra, I just need to ask when it comes to pentesting certs what do you think of the PNPT cert along with the jpet cert? I'm planning on taking one of these certs after I pass my Sec+. I'm hoping on becoming a pentester in the future.

[@sackwhacker]

I have these. Once you've done the Sec+, the next logical step is the eJPT -> PNPT -> eCPPT/OSCP. The earlier ones help build up your fundamentals.

[@Youdontknowsnot]

Studying for my sec + now....will have it soon

[@accuruhcyrl4196]

Hi Sandra, would you recommend CISSP after Sec+?

[@ctjmaughs]

Definitely worked for me but I was starting out as a SOC Analyst and I was an IT admin before.

[@davestevens4193]

You need 5 years of experience for CISSP.

Great Info. What do you think about CEH Certification?

[@axelvirtus2514]

Garbage, outdated stuff.

[@zateberg2744]

Not worth it. Go with the certs from Offsec.

[@sackwhacker]

Not practical and not hands like other certs. Many will tell you that they passed the CEH but couldn't feel like they could hack anything.

[@martinesbieto1250]

should i take CCNA examination first before diving into GSEC certification?

Thanks for watching Jeffrey! 😁

[@GagandeepSingh-qk5hi]

Your thoughts on ejpt?

[@WithSandra]

I’m not familiar with the EJPT but thanks for bringing it up! I’m assuming its similar to the Pentest+? Though as a beginner, I’d go for certs that’re more mainstream only because employers specifically look for certain certifications on your resume and from their candidates, either way, any cert can put you a cut above those who dont have one. Good luck deciding and on the cert exam!😁

[@GagandeepSingh-qk5hi]

study the material for the Net+ but you dont need to take the exam. Then move on to Sec+ and take it.
