Just passed secutiy+, should I go for CEH?
Hi guys! I have been a security and Linux enthusiast since I was 16 (I am 22 now) and I have been working in security for about two years. Since I work in a small company, I perform a range of tasks which vary from penetration testing and auditing to implementation of SIEM, firewalls and review of internal policies/procedures.
I have done my A+ exam and just passed the Security+, considering my ideal career path would be penetration tester-->Security Architect (hopefully), I was wondering which exam you would suggest to go for, as I know there are lots out there and I wouldn't want to get multiple certs that are on the same level (like gsec and security+).
I have basic knowledge of scripting/programming languages such as Python, PHP, Javascript etc. and a very good understanding of web application penetration testing.
I have made a quick list with some approximate dates for my next certs and I would really appreciate it if you could give me your feedback on it (I don't have to necessarily obtain these certifications and in this exact order but I just wanted to have a baseline to work with).
