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

    Maybe finish ECSA and then done for the forseeable future.
    I'm not allowed to say what my previous occupation was, but let's just say it rhymes with architect.

    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.

    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...
