Cleared my AWS SAA cert now working on AZ-104!

Get it!

Awesome, congratulations!

I've heard good things about the AWS Security Specialty certificate too. I've done a course for it which was great, though I never bothered to take the certificate (I don't feel the need for it). Have you considered it?

I had to clear the AWS SAA before nominations started for the certification drive. Unfortunately I cleared my exam after the nomination window. Otherwise would have opted for Security speciality or SAP.

Why not SAP/Security Specialist?

I'm planning to sit for the latter later in the year

Ah, I meant why not go for the AWS Certified Security - Specialty instead of an Azure certification?

[-] br3ad@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

AWS SAA was a prerequisite for the security speciality in the certification drive but I cleared my exam after the nomination window and it doesn't look like I can change it at this point.

I don't quite know of this certification drive you speak about: is this specific to your company?

I have a 50% off voucher since I sat for the SAA recently, I'll just use that hehe

[-] br3ad@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. My company has a certification drive where it provides a voucher for free of cost.

Finally done with my 120 CPEs for my CISSP. That was a long ride, happy to be done with it

[-] Captain@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Well done, congratz!

[-] N7x@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

How helpful is the Google IT certificate? I'm trying to land my first help desk job. Do I have a shot at getting one of these roles before earning a CompTIA A+?

[-] shellsharks@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen an actual review of it yet. Though I've seen a lot of people asking about it.
