getting a IT security job

phily2002 · 2018-04-16 11:39:50

I did an hons degree in computer science and loved the networking and especially the network security module. I'm studying for the security plus at the moment and wondering would this be enough to get a job or would I need more advanced certs to get my foot in the door? thanks :)

Do you know what part of InfoSec you want to get into? As it has expanded as an area it has gotten more specialised in its roles. The path into different areas would be slightly different depending on where you want to head.
