Just passed CySA+ today
@Miketheman2023
Passed my CYSA+ with no experience in tech prior. Just alot of dedication and self study.
@jimr880
Get the Security+ for the generalist, and then the CySA+ if you're more focused on working SOC/IR. Cheers.
@Geomaverick124
Honestly getting all 3 will do you good...the thing is almost everyone who has CySA+ has a Sec+. Mad Hat here on youtube said that all the stuff he learned in his Cyber Batchelors degree is covered in the Google Cybersecurity certificate, Sec+, and CySA+
@soldiermedic81
CySA is technically better but HR doesn't really recognize it as being higher than Sec+. I have both, but the CySA+ was my favorite to study for since it covered other domains that I had gone more in depth with after Sec+
@mixmax6027
Outside of DoD, no one has ever asked me about certs. I used them to bypass HR.
@LyxtKrepe
Compita A+ > Comptia Network+ > Comptia Sec+ > Comptia CySA+ > Comptia Pentest+ > Comptia CASP+ (Which later will be Comptia X)
@joelrobert4053
I have both certs and while they do help, cysa+ is geared more towards SOC roles however you can still use it if you want to became a security engineer or senior security analyst
@michaelscott5962
Currently studying for CySA+ from my college even though I’m ultimately trying to get into GRC. But like they always say, more certs never hurt.
@emmanueljarrett6974
Thanks Josh! Great information as always. Currently finishing the CourseCareers IT Course and Google IT Professional Certification in preparation for A+. After that it’s off to the races with Help Desk applications while starting the cybersecurity training.
@genjioto
Passed Sec+ and studying CYSA+ now, also submitted resume to a hiring manager at a SOC. 😅
@theoneaboveall7708
Sec + and Cysa can get u into a SOC. Casp will get you rmf and sca and isso jobs
@professorxavier5570
Actually, the best cert is the one that is easier to acquire, affords you the most job opportunity, and comparable salary. Based upon your assessment security plus is the better option given a 6k difference and 2200 more job opportunities.
@ladybuginc.4189
I’m going to study for both certifications!!!
@cancerianblue85
This field gets so confusing with what to get. I watched videos from many people, and everyone says similar and different things. I'm just gonna keep working on Cysa and then maybe get the Google cert. I'm drained. 😆 Great video Josh! U always speak truth and I appreciate u.
@genjioto
Studying for sec+ now I think cysa and sec+ compliment each other. Cysa is a much more specialized cert and makes sense to take it after security+.
@vizzyvazzy1137
I don't think declaring a "winner" works in this comparison because Security+ is more general and CySA+ is more specific. In my opinion, get Security+ to start out with, then get CySA+ if you intend to focus on cybersecurity. Just as how I wouldn't recommend Cloud+ to someone going into cybersecurity, I wouldn't recommend CySA+ to someone going into infrastructure. note: by "wouldn't recommend," I'm not saying to avoid getting them, I'm more saying they shouldn't be a priority.
@via_negativa6183
As someone who has network + sec + and currently studying for Cysa+ I would say the later comes off as more useful. For an actual cyber security role.
@hajime2k
I got both. Security+ is more popular in the eyes of HR and recruiters. CySA+ prepares those heading to SOC Analyst, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst roles. My next target is to get the Cisco CyberOps Associate certification as a way to fully renew my current CompTIA certifications. Security+ is more of an entry-level certification while CySA+ is considered intermediate. If the Indeed average pay for either certification is true, then I'm quite underpaid. LMAO.
