Entry level cybersecurity certifications. Think I missed one? Comment the certs you'd add. So we're gonna start out with the CompTIA Security+. Now, this is a vendor neutral certification. It also is going to help you to meet that DoD or Department of Defense baseline. And this is a certification you're gonna see on 60 to 70% of entry level job postings. The next one is gonna be the AZ 500. So this is the Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate. This is great, especially if your company organization is already using Microsoft. So this is that Microsoft ecosystem. And this is gonna help you to get into that security engineer associate realm. Let me also say, before I move on to other certifications that you should already have some prior skills, some prior knowledge before attaining any of these certifications. So you should know, well, troubleshooting, you should know networking, you should understand operating systems. You should have foundational knowledge before jumping into any of these certifications. The next one is gonna be the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate. Now, this is kind of on the same level as CompTIA Security+ is a stronger certification, but this Cisco certified cyber security associate is more on the Cisco ecosystem side. Still a strong certification, great to look at, great to give it a chance. Um, but I would be going for CompTIA Security+ before I select this certification. Um, another one is the EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker. So this is a beginner certification, a teaching more of the attacker mindset. So more of the red teaming, right? So this is a great starting out with pen testing, that area of cyber security. So these are the four certifications that I think are a great start. Yes, there's more certifications that are out there. Feel free to comment on this video and put them in the comments. We can talk about it. But I think that these are four great certifications that you can start out with as an entry level person going into cyber security. Please again, realize that you should have prior knowledge before getting into cyber security. Please again, realize that you should have prior knowledge before getting into cyber security.
