Comptia Security +
The CompTIA Security+ is one of the first security certifications a cyber professional should earn, and many organizations require that job candidates have this certification to even be considered for the position. It establishes the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. I really appreciated preparing for this certification because although I believed that I had a pretty strong understanding of the cybersecurity principles and practices, I was able to really gain clarity in certain areas that I wasn't as strong in. This great thing about Comptia Security+ exam is that it really challenged my critical thinking, and problem solving skills though the various hands-on troubleshooting questions.
