I'm looking to go into security for the most part. I have a criminal justice minor which is actually kind of concentrated in security technology (alarm systems and stuff)

some people say CompTIA’s A+ and Network+ certification aren't always the best way to go anymore, then i saw some people say the Microsoft certs were better.

You ain't offend me breh

Everyone few weeks another person comes in, says they read the thread, and then asks the same questions of what's the first cert I should start with

If you plan on getting in IT, you best get used to reading breh.....a lot. So read through the read (I've read through it multiple times since it's inception so you have no excuse ) then come holla at us.
Then in a few weeks when the new cat comes in asking the exact same question, you can call him a fukk nikka for not reading the thread

obviously you were offended if you took the time to respond.



i'm dead over that...then why take the time out to provide a useless answer and then tell me to shyt on the next guy who asks? instead of ignoring the posts you feel you gotta protect the thread from a couple double posts when its 42 pages deep?

Was it a Cisco exam? I used to hate that shyt smh.

Congrats been. Are you in security already or trying to get in it?

 

[krexzen]

Nah for Cisco they usually tell you your score then give you the survey but only if you have a Cisco id. When I took the CCent there was an issue with my Cisco ID so I didn't get my score until I got the printout from the front desk.

edit: your avi threw me off. I imagine you probably already know this.

I'm trying to remember, but I could have sworn it was the other way around

Last Cisco exam I took was 2011 I think.

I'm only helpdesk right now, and this is my first cert. I've been working in IT for a year come October, but I have a technical background from the Navy in electronics, satellite, and cryptologic systems. I want to specialize in Security, but don't know yet what cert I should focus on next. Decisions, decisions.

The CISSP certification is the most recognized out of all the IT Security related certs. But you need to prove you have 5 years experience and someone to vouch for your skills.
