Posted July 6, 2017 so im currently a student studying computer security in university and i would like to hear any suggestions of what other certifications i should consider doing to support my career. I would like to go to the networking field, so my father recommended doing CCNA so most probably i would do that however i have also been asked to do some other certifications like red hat and Microsoft exams by seniors. i have also heard that some certifications such as Microsoft exams expire after a time period and require update exams and i have also heard that some exams r about certain products only and i will be limiting myself to that if i do them. if its possible for you guys to suggest me some exams that doesnt require me to do update exams or limit myself it would be very helpful.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 7, 2017 The CCNA is a great cert to grab as well as the CompTIA A+ certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompTIA A+ is a good base, but not really related to network security in any depth. I would recommend the CompTIA Security+ cert, and also look at various microsoft certs. @Shammikit having a cert that's about a specific product will only limit you if you don't go beyond that and do more certs. Having one cert on a popular product is a good skill to hold in your back pocket.
