Hi all,
I have been working in a Cyber security company for less than a year, mainly I am providing tech support to company customers but I don't feel 100% comfortable regarding my general knowledge of security.
I have a CCNA and MCSA Certification and I would like now to study for a new security certification.
Can anyone suggest any security fundamental certification? something that gives me first the basics of IT security without having years of experience.
Thank you!

If you want to expand on your current knowledge, look at the CCNA Security certification, or possibly updating your MCSA to MCSE with this exam, (if you're at the MCSA 2012 or 2016 level, that is.) I'd strongly recommend going for one of the two vendor-specific exams, in addition to a vendor-neutral test, since "security" isn't just another specialty to focus on but rather a natural extension of expertise on a specific platform.
