Questions about the Cybersecurity Pathway

Before you take CompTIA Network+, you need an understanding of the most common hardware and software technologies used on the network. After all, how can you support a network if you don’t understand what is attached to it? CompTIA A+ certification, which mirrors the skills of an IT pro with six months of IT experience, assesses the skills necessary to support IT infrastructures, which includes device hardware, software, networks and security, from an entry-level IT pro perspective.

If you are a beginner and don’t have CompTIA A+ or six months of IT pro experience, you can pursue the CompTIA IT Fundamentals exam. It is the beginning of the career pathway. If you want a career in IT and you are new to the profession, then IT Fundamentals is the best place to start. It helps you learn more about the world of IT and provides a broad understanding of the IT profession.

IT pros can enter the pathway at any point, depending on their IT experience, existing certifications, or course of study. There are no required prerequisites for these CompTIA certifications. For example, if you have 2 years of IT security experience or equivalent knowledge, you can jump into the pathway at CompTIA Security+ to prove your knowledge. If you already have CompTIA Security+, you can jump in at CySA+, etc. See the Recommended CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway graphic.
