Not sure where to turn for my next cert, need guidance.
Hey guys, I just passed the BTL1 and wondering where I should go from here. I feel I need to understand the red team side a little more cause that’s my weak spot right now. I also feel this would help me understand attacks a bit more. I’m leaning towards eJPT, then moving to the CCD afterwards to further improve in Blue Team. What do you guys think? I know there are a lot of experienced security professionals in here and I would love your feedback. Right now I’m a cybersecurity analyst for a local government but I want to get a new job in either a SOC Analyst or Security Analyst type roles. I want to definitely stand out in this crazy job market as well as be ready for the next role. My list of certs are below:
INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS: · Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) 2025 · BTL1 2025 · TryHackMe Security Analyst Level 1 (SAL1) Certification 2025 · Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate 2024 · Microsoft 365 Fundamentals 2024 · CompTIA Network+ 2024 · CompTIA CySA+ 2023 · CompTIA Security+ 2023 · ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) 2023 · CompTIA A+ -2020
