Thanks
I’m considering CompTIA Security+ but I’m unsure whether I should take Network+ first or strengthen my networking knowledge and go directly to Security+. What learning path, practical skills, tools, projects, and certifications would you recommend for someone like me who wants to become job-ready, secure an internship, and eventually land an entry-level SOC/Cybersecurity Analyst role?
I’d really appreciate your guidance. Thank you!
