What is the Best / Most Important CyberSecurity Certification?
-
For you, what is the most recommended CyberSecurity Certification (Neutral Vendor) ?
-
Security is such a broad topic, there is no such thing as THE BEST cert. You have to be way more specific
-
@Kris_K This is exactly the starting point, Give me your comments about it.

It depends on where you are in your career. If you are trying to get into cyber security initially you may want to look at Security + or SSCP. Those are great entry certifications that will lead to security analyst roles.
If you have alot of IT experience (10+ years) you might go directly to CISSP. CISSP will get you more compensation than any other security certification for sure, but say you have CISSP and AWS Security that will really increase your value.
Best Entry Security Certs:
- Security +
- SSCP
Best Compensation Security Certs:
- CISSP
- AWS / Azure Security Cert
Best Cloud generic Security Certs:
- CSSK
- CCSP

There is also the GSEC cert and higher from SANS to look at.
It's what I would go for if someone else was footing the bill. -
Sec+ is good to have. But important to note unlike a CISSP, it will do essentially nothing for a career. but it's a nice to have.
