CodeDo you code or are you a sys admin?
I skipped Network+ too but I already had CCNA and networking experience as well as Security experience and a Windows Network Infrastructure cert.I took and passed my A+ exam yesterday. I studied for about a month and gotten a pretty good score on it so I’m very proud of that.
I’ve decided to skip getting Network + and go straight to getting security + because I’ve always been interested in that field but from what I been told I need at least a few years of experience as a IT administrator to pass it.
I was wondering if anyone on here have been able to pass it without much experience at all. I would really just rather get the cert as early as next year.
Yes it would be very wise unless you have experience with network defense alreadyI just got some Sec+ and CySa+ (I think that’s what it’s called) material from a contact in this cyber security group I joined. Hoping to get cracking on it. I was told if you crack down on studying for 3 or so months you should be good.
Would it be wise to get the Sec+ and then embark on network before the CySa+? I’m looking to get at least two by the end of the year and hopefully get an entry level job before I apply for a masters in comp sci next year @Deuterion
Ok so out of the A+ and Cisco, which one is better? I don’t know what I want to do, but I want to get my foot in the door somewhere and go from there.
I keep hearing A+ is good or it’s not worth it, I don’t want to waste my time and money if it won’t get me a job.
I never heard much about Cisco.
Depends on what you want to do or what you knowOk so out of the A+ and Cisco, which one is better? I don’t know what I want to do, but I want to get my foot in the door somewhere and go from there.

So you’re suggesting he becomes one of those people that grab a SEC+ and don’t really know wtf he’s doingI passed the SEC+ last month. Dont listen to these nikkas about needing to take the Net+ beforehand. Alot of coli ITnikkas brag and wanna sound smarter than they are. You learn more on the job and with exp. And if you just starting and interested in Security go wit the sec+ then cysa ceh etc..
I needed the SEC+ since im a contractor and TBH. This 23 yr old woman who got a job wit us who doesnt even know the diff between SSDs and spinning drives passes her exam last week on her first try
But im not gonna lie the trouble I had wit the exam was WPA types, EAP types and PKI. All which you can get additional help with without taking the net+
Theres nikkas on out server amd transport team with CEHs and dont even know how to install programs correctly
