It’s funny because that’s not really a commitment since you can change your signature and nobody is the wiser.

Whoa there cowboy! The last poor soul who boastfully decided to jump in the ocean without knowing how to swim disappeared into the depths, never to be heard from again...

MCSE is all I have planned!! That will give me plenty to do

Finishing BS:ITS is on the horizon - hope to be done by the end of 2018
CCNA: CyberOps

PC509

CCNA:CyberOps (thanks Cisco for the opportunity with the scholarship for this one!); CISSP (I'm damn close to be ready for this one!); eJPT (been practicing a lot with HackTheBox and Vulnhub boxes); ITIL Foundations (work requirement).

I want to renew my CCNA: Security as it already lapsed. If I have time for the CCNA: R&S and the CCNA: Sec, I'll go for it.

2018 I really invest in my certs and learning. Trying to focus more on the security aspect a bit more (already have some security certs and experience, but not directly security related, just sys admin stuff that deals with security - access controls, physical and logical security, firewalls, policies, audits, etc..). Security is the big trendy area now, and it's a good time to take advantage of that.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, that's probably it honestly.

SteveLavoie

Sometime it is better to have only 1 certs planned and do it, rather then dreaming of 10 and don't do them at all.

2017 for me was a great years. I did 5 (VCP6, SSCP, CISSP, VMCE, Sonicwall CSSA). I hope that 2018 to be as productive...
