Certification pathway
This course prepares fellows for these industry certifications. Exams are taken with the certifying body, and exam fees are paid separately.
ISC2
Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
Prepared in
CompTIA
Security+
Prepared in
ISC2 CC and Security+ are entry-level and suit career changers. CySA+ is usually the next step once fellows have some hands-on security experience. Advanced GRC credentials, such as ISACA's CISA or ISC2's CGRC, require years of work experience and are a later goal.
Prerequisites and requirements
Prior experience
None. Basic computer skills are enough. IT support or networking experience helps for SOC Analysis but is not required.
Language
Good written and spoken English.
Equipment
A laptop or desktop computer with at least 8 GB of memory and a reliable internet connection, for running security labs. A phone or tablet alone is not enough.
