I would agree that Security+ (Sec+) is a crucial certification. It's widely recognized and highly sought after. In addition to Security+, I would suggest pursuing the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification.
While Cloud+ is also a strong choice, particularly given the growing importance of cloud technologies, pairing Sec+ with CySA+ provides a more comprehensive foundation in cybersecurity. This combination can better position career changers for a range of roles, from security analysts to more advanced positions as they gain experience.
Ultimately, the combination of Sec+ and CySA+ can make transitioning candidates both valuable and job-ready, offering a robust skill set that aligns with current industry demands.
