ISC Inquiries

I am new around here, wanting to now the best certification path for this program. As someone with some good IT systems background but without any systems security experience, which is the best path forward?

Hi @abdavies 

First of all, welcome.

It's important to understand that there is no such thing as "this program".

ISC2 runs multiple course on various issues, and you need to decide which one is bets for you.

If you go to the main site at https://www.isc2.org/ and then click on the "Certifications" button, you'll get a pull-down with a list of all the certifications. Clicking on each one will give you an overview as well as requirements.

You can then decide where you will be best suited.

Best of luck,

Good 'day mate. Welcome aboard! (ISC)2 is the gold standard accepted around the world and offers several options for certification. Think about what you like about security and where you would like to go with your career then steer in that direction. Find a mentor to help you talk through your ideas. Visit (ISC)2 Congress and engage in learning.
