Hello I'm Carla and I'm interested in the Defensive side of cybersecurity.

I have a bachelor of science in computer science and 1 year experience working as a threat analyst intern.

I recently passed the Certified in Cybersecurity certification.

Congratulations! After CC, what's your next step? I'm doing a CySA+ track myself.

Congratulations. If you are staying with ISC2, I would suggest the SSSCP next. There is some value to reading CySA+ materials but wouldn’t recommend the exam because can get more complicated for some to have certifications with multiple organizations. I can speak more to that if need me to.

Thank you for the information I will look into that in the future. 🙂
