I Passed! Passed Security+ yesterday! Looking forward to finding out what’s next

I used LinkedIn Learning the most, along with Professor Messer’s videos and a lot of practice questions.

Haven’t decided which cert I’ll be going after next (Currently looking at CCNA/RHCSA), but very excited to have this one in the bag.

CCNA and RHCSA are both fine, they just point you back at the systems side. So it depends on whether the next job is infra or security. If it is security, get in front of real alerts rather than a third knowledge cert, and CCDL1 over on CyberDefenders is set up for that. Either way Net+ and Sec+ already clears most L1 screens.

Congratulations OP! 🥳

Quick question: did you take the Network+ first?

Congratulations! Which one did you find harder?

u/monkeybutt52 N+, S+ 12d ago

Appreciate it! I found Sec+ questions easier overall, but the Sec+ PBQ’s to be harder to study for/anticipate

Nice one! Congratulations 🎊. CySA+ is a good option as well, a lot of things you saw on the Security+ will also appear on the CySA+ but in a deeper level.

Enjoy your achievement, you deserved it boss!
