IT Security Project Management Career Path from beginner to employable (Security+, Comptia Project+...)

Jose Luis Gutierrez

Please, I would like to ask for guidance for Career Path focus on Project Management in Cybersecurity from scratch to be employable (with some hand on experience by LABS or other tools...)

I am currently re-taking my studies in Project Management. I am studying in order: Prince2 Foundations & Practitioner, AgilePM, ChangePM and Itil4 Foundation and Security+. I need to finish this studies by September/October (Additionally MO-Project, Excel and Asana/Trello, Monday and Chap GPT4).

My last work in Project Management was working with United Nations and International Charities from 1991 to 2008 mainly in Emergency and Relief Projects/Programs (Water& Sanitation, Education and Health and Capacity Building).

I have cero experience in IT and the only actual hand-on experience I am getting is by LABS here with Security+ (and Cybrary). ```
I can not find any online practice for Project Management with any Training Provider (Please if you know any let me know).

**It is worthy CompTIA Project+ since it is focus in IT and I am absolute beginner in IT Security? Should I study another Security Certification complementary con focus on Project Management in Cyber?**

***Please, could you provide any career path focus in IT Cybersecurity Project Management with certifications and Hand On experience (LABS or any other hand on experience specially in PM)?
I believe ITProTV- ACILearning provide and amazing learning platform but I am a bit lost with all certifications, LABS and Courses that provide here.***

Thank you in advance.

Project Management skills are the same across all fields. The field you choose, such as IT, the company will provide the tools and context you will need to do to project management in that field. I would consider the CompTIA Project+ course we have as a solid introduction. Also, If you have no experience in Cybersecurity, you may want to consider the CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ to provide the foundational knowledge all IT people should have, even project managers.
