There is a smaller market that you can utilize your CompTIA Security Plus certification to serve – small businesses or individuals who don’t want or need a large-scale security solution for their security issues. Sometimes that means they will put a security professional on retainer incase they suffer a cyber threat or attack. You can use your Security+ credential to get started with your own security business and work for other companies as an independent contractor. It’s a good way to be your own boss as well as helping smaller businesses who can’t afford to have a security solution with all the bells and whistles.
