The Ultimate Cybersec Certification Chart! Where are you focused right now?
This image sums it all up! We see posts asking "which certifications to get" on a daily basis across every online cybersecurity community out there! Well... here's your answer!
The Cyber Security Hub recently shared this succint summary of which are relevant to you based on....
- Operational / Organizational areas of Cybersecurity
- The functional job areas within them [i.e. Incident Handling, Pen Testing, etc.]
- Your level of expertise in those operational and functional areas
This provides us with a great "big picture" view of WHERE TO FOCUS FIRST [based on your interest and experience levels] and where to focus as part of your continuous development and credentialization efforts. TELL US... WHERE YOU ARE CURRENTLY FOCUSED!
This is a great chart! Is there any possible update to this yet?
I had found this early in my journey and it was a big help to planning out my goals.
Security+ > ISC2 CC > CISSP > CGRC (Previously known as CAP)
I since added Google Cybersecurity Professional Cert as well, primarily to diversify my learning towards the CompTIA Security+ and to obtain the dual certification.
