One of the best resources I have found in regards to certifications is Paul Jerimy’s Security Certification Roadmap.

This roadmap is very overwhelming, but so is the amount of options that are available in the industry.

Whether you are just trying to break in or are seasoned and looking to stack up what you have with what should be next, this resource has been a great guide for many in the industry!

There are many in the industry with opinions on which certifications are best and what your path should look like. The best part about asking others is the fact that it can be a great conversation starter to show your interest, not just in the field, but also in their opinion.

Many of these certification providers have full communities built around them with knowledgeable people ready to help. There isn’t really a right answer unless you know *exactly* what you want to do, leaving a lot of room for interpretation.

As long as you keep it moving forward, document that journey along the way!
