Building off of CompTia Security + Next Steps
-
Good Morning everyone,
I completed my Comptia Security+ earlier this year. And Gained some excellent hands on experience shadowing professional Cyber Security Teams.
As I move forward in this new career path can any SME's, Career Changers or other Cyber Security professionals chime in on next steps regarding training ?
Currently my goal is to learn as much as possible and to build some Cloud Security technical skillset to add value during my journey.
Feel free to share your experience or perspective on what you did during your Skills Acquisition journey.
Regards,
Rashard
