Working on personal content development of the CompTIA Security 701 version for my current Sec + 701 batch, found the content amazing, completely overhauled the syllabus from its previous version and introduced new and latest topics which are missing in some big vendor-neutral bodies exam, moreover, their domains are pretty much aligned with content and this is just an entry-level course of CompTIA.Even if you are certified in InfoSec Management, suggest a time read of the CompTIA Sec + 701 course book. CompTIA's positioning of this course as entry-level is just a misnomer, nothing like entry-level in this course, if a novice reads and spends time on the course, he can gain a lot of knowledge. Must have certification for people looking for a career in cybersec with 1-2 years of experience. Protecte AcademyGhazal K#Sec+ #CompTIA

The past several months of working from the Front Line of Support has made me appreciate the importance of having strong analytical and troubleshooting skills. To earn the CompTIA CySA+ certification, I relied heavily on Jason Dion’s CySA+ and PenTest+ courses on Udemy, combined with my burgeoning experience.Other useful resources:- TryHackMe’s SOC Level 1 learning path- CertPreps’ CySA+ practice tests- Dion Training Solutions always saving me some bucks on exam vouchers Reviewing the PenTest+ material as part of my studies was invaluable, providing useful insights from an adversary’s perspective. The learning never ends.
