So for context, I’ve been working full-time for like a year now in a Security Analyst position where I monitor alerts using our SIEM tool and update rule changes through our IDS/IPS. It’s like a blue team position, the red teaming of our systems is done by a third party. I got my Security+ a year ago. I’ve heard great things about SANS and its prestige, but I’m not sure how difficult it would be for someone with just a year of experience. But my company would be footing the bill for the course so it might as well be worth it to get that resume boost. However, on the other hand there is overlap between the CySA+ and the Security+, and I know with the CySA+ I could have an easier time revising and hopefully get the cert in like 1-2 months. I would love to hear your guys’ inputs and/or opinions.
