Oops, I did it again. This morning I passed the CompTIA Security+ exam with flying colors. That marks three CompTIA certifications I’ve earned in about 2 months.
The Security+ exam was probably one of the easiest certification tests I have taken in a long, long time. The content from the certification is from 2007-2008 so it is not really anything new or complex. Additionally, it has a lot of repeat content from the Linux+ and Network+ certifications that I passed last month.
The good news, by passing the certification today I’ve earned the lifetime credential. Anyone that takes the certification after Jan. 1, 2011 will have to renew every three years under a new “continuing education” policy. Blah!
Just to wrap things up, I am considering CompTIA’s Server+ certification which should pretty much tie everything else together before I head on to the “real” certifications that really apply to my day-to-day job duties. Certifications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle 9i/10g Database, Oracle MySQL Database and the Zend PHP Architect.
If anyone is considering the Security+ certification I’d suggest checking out the book CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-201 Study Guide
