It’s a new year and a new beginning here at Perrywise! The latter half of last year happened to say the least, but i’ve been able to begin anew and fresh with a new office, new mission, and a season of Get Wise With Perrywise.
I’ve spent the last year on my own career development. I measure that in terms of certifications, and my problem was that all the certs I wanted were worthless. I want the knowledge, but spending the time and money on the full certification wasn’t worth it. I call this phase “Security++” as the Data+ and PenTest+ are two of them, they were supposed to complement the CySA+, but I’ve ended up having to study a lot more past those two, so i’m overprepared on that front.
As such, Networking has been something I haven’t been focused on. I was going to look into the CloudNet+ to cover those bases, but CompTIA has seemingly forgot it has existed. There are no study materials for it, so i’ve moved onto my next phase – Network++!
I’m starting with a two-pronged approach. I’m recapping the network basics and becoming more AV-certified. AV overlaps quite a lot with IT, especially in networking. This is just studying for the CCNA by other means, for me. Get Wise With Perrywise is the chronicle of my journey from step one to fully certified. However, i’ve got some time before I get there.
