I was able to complete my CompTIA Security+ certification in just over a month. In this video I’m going to talk about the strategy I used to pass, and how it helped me to land a job as a Network Administrator with a significant raise in salary.

I’m planning to do my Sec+ exam by the end of September this year. Last week I barely passed my network+. It was quite overwhelming as I didn’t think I was going to make it, but I scored enough points to pass, thankfully. Assuming Sec+ might be harder I’m giving myself a little more time to prepare for it.
@ZakJaeb

I have worked in IT support, Helpdesk, and managed services where I worked with a lot of different clients and their networks.

Hi Zak, thanks for the tips. I have a question. I have no experience in cyber security but I have been doing Application Performance for more than 5 years. I analyze CPU Utilization, memory usage, battery drainage on mobile devices, and fix the code in Java, SQL, php, JavaScript. I do lots and lots of load tests, capacity planning, stress tests for big eCommerce sites as well as Enterprise sites in AWS and Azure. Now I want to move to the Security domain. Will the Security+ certificate open the door for me into Cybersecurity job? Thanks!
@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
Hi Xiu, thanks for watching! I think the Security+ definitely could open those doors. And it sounds like you already have a good amount of experience in tech in general. The coding knowledge will also be a factor that can help you stand out from the crowd. It never hurts to have a few certifications under your belt, mixed with some practical knowledge. Best of luck on your journey!

Cybersecurity is something I was looking for, because i like to learn how to hack and protect from cyber attacks. But as like computer science, I have very little knowledge of it. I wonder if there is an way I could gain experience or maybe a job?

If you score well and feel like you know the acronyms and content then you'll do fine! Thanks for watching!

Hi Zak, am one of your followers, am doing my master degree on cs and my graduation project this semester is in cybersecurity... I don't have that much experience on the field. Do you think I can find a job ? or I need to start working on a certificates after graduating?
@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
Well it sounds to me like you're perfectly prepped to find some awesome opportunities after graduation! Developers are highly sought after for cybersecurity and many people think development is one of the most important skills in order to succeed. It makes sense right? If you know how software and apps are built, it makes it that much easier to reverse engineer them and find their weaknesses. As far as certifications, you could definitely pursue some base level certs like the Security+ or if you're more interested in Pentesting, the eLearnSecurity eJPT. Look into the Try Hack Me and Hack the Box platforms as well for getting some hands-on learning. With a Master's in CS and a final project focused on cybersecurity, I definitely think you'll be able to find something after graduation. Hope this helps, I wish you the best of luck!!

Which certification would you recommend between the comptia security+, Google cybersecurity certificate and the EC-council certified cybersecurity technician?
@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
I would definitely say the Security+ if only for the CompTIA name and brand recognition within the industry. The Google certification does look interesting especially since some of it appears to be project based and more hands on. But I think that it's just too new to tell if it carries any weight when trying to get a job. EC Council also looks interesting but I don't know too much about it.

@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb 7 месяцев назад
If you want to focus on Networking, CCNA is definitely the gold standard cert. It dives much deeper than event he Network+ and is a lot more hands on.

Is it possible to pass this exam without any prior IT knowledge?

Definitely!! The Security+ is a starter exam. While it can help to have a bit of prior networking/IT experience under your belt, it’s not required. Good luck on your journey and thanks for watching!

Is a web designer different to a web developer? Surely web developers would not be earning 30k less than network admins?
@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
Yes, absolutely. Web designer is a more creative role with a little bit of development work. I was working on Wordpress websites and graphics. Web developer usually means coding and either front-end or back-end development.

Nope, not at all. You have to have your webcam on the entire time and your computer is monitored by an exam proctor. You can’t even have anything on or around your desk! They are very strict about it when taking the exam from home. With good reason!

You can get an entry level cybersecurity job. Once you start getting experience, you can then start apply for higher level jobs. If you have a security clearance or can find a employer willing to sponsor you for one, then you’ll be much more marketable at that point.

@@ZakJaeb I have passed the Network+, Security+, and Cloud+ since last Aug. 29th and earned those certifications and 2 professional certifications from Comptia. I do have over 30 years experience in IT though. I just never tried to get certified before. I am waiting for the result from the CYSA+ beta exam I took in November. That would net me another professional certification, as well. I am now studying for the Linux+, CCNA, and AWS Certified practitioner certifications. I use my many years of experience combined with brute force studying methods to pass.

@@ZakJaeb Question. I am 20 years old doing school part time. Graduated high school with my AA. Taking a break from school and was recommended to get into cybersecurity. Currently studying for my Comptia / security + certifications. Are there jobs out there willing to offer a position so th the credibility of having those two certifications?
@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
@@1dgrandson When you say those two certifications, what other certification from Comptia are you referring to? The Security+ is a Comptia cert. There are definitely jobs out there that will accept certifications. However, I would highly recommend trying to take on some personal projects that you can show as portfolio pieces as well. Especially if you don't have any prior experience at all. Most likely you'll be starting out in a more generalized IT Support/Administrator role where you'll get an opportunity to work on cybersecurity related projects. This can help you decide which avenue you want to focus on. I have a new video coming out this week talking about How to get started in IT and some strategies to help build your career so keep an eye out for that on Wedsnesday! Thanks for watching!!

@ZakJaeb
@ZakJaeb Год назад
The CompTIA suggested progression is A+ then Network+, then Security+ but it’s really up to you. I think it also really comes down to the role you're interested in, A+ is a very base level, broad scope of IT knowledge. I never took the A+ exam, but I did go through the course programs at an older job. It really is more focused on Helpdesk and Tech Support. If you’re more interested in cybersecurity then I would say start with Security+. It may just be a bit tougher if you don’t have any prior experience. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!!

SIX DAYS IF YOU ARE IN THE US ARMY! Everybody in the US Armed Forces that has an IT specialty takes a 5 day course and test out on SATURDAY! This is how I did for Network+ and Security+ back to back. So in the same month in 2 working weeks I came out with 2 certifications. As much as I will like to think I am a genius, I am not. They key... MOTIVATION and DISCIPLINE! If I tell you, you cant do your job without this piece of paper and you will be doing some low skilled work, you will rise to the occasion. CASP for officers is another one week course, the same with Ethical Hacker. ONE MONTH? That is a waste of a lifetime!!!

this person aint lying, i went in army for simliar job in IT, i was 25U (Signal Support System Specialist), i was jack of all trades in IT but master of none. The course you go through is seriously really accelerated and super fast, i know for a fact i barely made it through SEC+ because that shit was super DENSE with acronyms. You really gotta take your time and learn at your own pace and style. For most people i know they learn through video PLUS a book to go over a chapter you are most confused about, it seriously helps!

I would advice people to get their computer science degree , if you trying to become a developer or working in cyber security. If course, jobs will hire if you have the experience or certification. However, bachelor degree will definitely separate from those who have certification. My two cent. Coming from a software developer point of view.
