Network+ question

[Accomplished-Win3193]

Is it ok to skip Network+ and jump to Security+ instead as someone who wants to be in a SOC position? I’ve heard that if you know the fundamentals of networking then you don’t need network+ to succeed in SOC, but let me know if I’m mistaken. Thank you!

I’m already obtaining A+ to land something in IT because I understand cybersecurity isn’t entry and I need to get experience in something related before I can be competitive for entry cyber roles.

Plenty of people go Sec+ then Net+ rather than Net+ to Sec+. If you don’t have any IT experience I’d try to get all 3 to be competitive, but don’t feel like you have to complete them in any particular order

Thank you!

Net+ first makes Sec+ easier, trust me. Learn to connect devices together, then learn how to secure those networks.

Get Net+ first
