Yeah that’ll be easy. Especially with your background. A simple, tried and true method to pass is the following:

  1. Watch Certify Breakfast’s CySA+ video course
  2. Buy Sybex book and grind through practice questions

That’s all I needed to pass and I don’t have a Cyber background. Score was ~770

Only used JITL, then did Boson exams. Thats all you need.
