Greetings,
I'm hoping toget feedback on which Certs would be best to take if I plan on pursuing the Cyber Security Sector.
I currently have Security + and ( HBSS) Host Base Security System. My company is willing to pay for the below
courses ASAP on their own dime in order for me to work as their Sys Admin. I am a DOD employee working on a
Ship w/ a TS Clearance. My ultimate goal is to leave sailing being and work ashore and enjoy the time with my wife & kids.
Please feel free to let me know which Certs would be beneficial for the Security Sector once I decide to leave sailing.
Cheers!
