CompTIA Security + Certified? Here's your next step🤯

[@dennyklein1965]

After you get your Security+. “What’s next?” Practical skills is right! THEN worry about what the next credential is. Certs are gateways, but you really have to work on practical skills. Don’t be afraid to go back to the drawing board of your A+, and Net+, or even just reinforcing your understanding of Security+ by doing some form and of cybersecurity course that applies more practical skills to get good until you manage to land a job. I studied my butt off to pass A+ and Net+. Unfortunately, having those doesn’t mean I know how to apply it in the workforce. Those are just exam certs that employers look at. Beyond that practical skills and/or work experience is everything.

👍👍

[@yokty9364]

Thanks a lot Venicia, great advices 👍🏽 But still I have a question : if I get the security + certification (i'm currenlty working on it) and if i want to become a SOC analyst (or any cybersecurity analyst job) how can i get any job without learning SIEM tools and how to use them? 🤔 I mean I'm sure the certification is great to have, but I guess I also have to learn some specific cybersecurity analyst's tools, no ?

[@cyber.queen_]

Yes, absolutely! Gaining the skills is super important.

What do you think about Blue team level 1 instead of Cysa+, I've heard good things about it since it's hands on as well

[@Milky44]

Get the cysa plus

[@cyber.queen_]

Hey 👋🏽 great question! I think Blue team is a great option! Definitely gives hands on practice and loads of skills!

[@francisfrancis1153]

Go for Blue team level 1 first, as it's more practical. Cysa+ will be good on your resume as well, but it's not that practical.

If I am trying different areas of cyber security, is there such thing as stretching yourself to thin? For instance, if I were dabbling in computer forensics, but I wanted to do network security or risk management then would it be to much to do both?

[@joshuamaboea1834]

Thank you so much for this. I've just started my cybersecurity journey working towards Google Cybersecurity and then Security+. It's good to know I'm on the right track.

[@cyber.queen_]

You got this!

[@millerpowell4546]

Ayyyy me too! Just started the 4th course of the Google cert

[@knoxvegas24]

I have the SEC+, but wanted to know how can I get into GRC. I understand ISACA requires you to have 5+ years experience before you can obtain the CISA. Is there another option or Cert, or maybe a skill I could work on in place of certain certifications to get into a compliance type of job. And is it possible for GRC jobs to hire without the CISA or CISM? What steps do you recommend.

[@morandoist]

Hello, thanks a lot for all of that information on the certification ! Where you able to get the certification at the forst time or did you need several attemps ?

[@cyber.queen_]

Hey 👋🏽 I was able to get it first time ✨

Aws vs Azure which is best for beginners to get into cloud security Are their any independent cloud tech or skills that is common in cloud providers Unique projects for cybersecurity & cloud security students in their bachelor program

[@cyber.queen_]

Hey, really great question, and maybe I can incorporate the responses into a video, but I will also try to answer briefly here. AWS VS Azure, depends largely on your preference, and a few other factors, like what is in demand where you live, job opportunities etc. Independent cloud tech skills, I assume you mean vendor agnostic? If so, you can look into obtaining credentials like CCSP (ISC2) which will help with cloud security knowledge specifically, or CompTIA cloud + for a vendor agnostic cloud computing overview. From a project perspective I am working on a video for this, stay tuned. ✌🏽

Hi Cyber Queen, How to move from technical support to penetration testing job role? What could be the best study plan for this?

[@cyber.queen_]

Transitioning from technical support to penetration testing is a great career move! Start by gaining skills in ethical hacking and cybersecurity. Try platforms like TryHackMe and HackTheBox.

2 years of IT experience or Bachelor degree in IT which one you prefer

It really depends on your career goals and what you want to achieve in the IT field. Majority of the time, experience always trumps formal education.

What does Threat hunting entail?

[@cyber.queen_]

Hey 👋🏽 Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts actively search for threats that may have evaded traditional security measures. It typically falls into the realm of cybersecurity operations. I have a video talking about threat intelligence and another about security operations who you might find valuable 😊
