Land a Cybersecurity Job With This $30 Boot Camp

How important is cybersecurity to big business these days? Consider that Google alone plans to spend $10 billion on it in the next five years. That's more than the firm's annual profit 10 years ago, and most IT workers will tell you that's money well spent. Data is a precious commodity, and one bad breach can sink even a thriving company.

So what does this mean for you? Potentially a big opportunity. All that spending is going to trickle down into the job market because the best defense against a skilled hacker is an even more skilled cybersecurity expert. CompTIA provides the tech infrastructure for many large firms, and getting certified is the best way to land a job in this growth industry. The fastest way to do that is with The 2021 CompTIA Security Infrastructure Expert Bundle.

Different companies will need different certifications for their IT team, but these courses break down some of the most popular and what you'll need to do to get them. All four classes are taught by the experts at iCollege, and the material is fully up to date with CompTIA's latest requirements.

If you've got some baseline IT knowledge, but no prior cybersecurity experience, start with their course on Security+; this 2021 certification gives you all the skills you need to set up and maintain basic security systems and has a renewed focus on how they work with cloud and hybrid storage systems.

Once you've got the basics down, expand your knowledge (and your resumé) by taking certification prep courses for the CySA+, CASP+, and PenTest+ exams. After finishing these hands-on classes, you'll be able to deal with more complex attacks and even conduct penetration testing to patch up holes in established networks.
