I’m excited to share that I’ve officially completed my CompTIA Security+ certification! 🎉

📌 Why I took Security+

  • To strengthen my fundamentals in cybersecurity.
  • To improve my chances for internships.
  • To gain structured knowledge in security domains.

💡 My Experience

The exam was challenging but rewarding. I prepared with:

  • Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy Course, Jason Dion Practice Exams, my own Handwritten notes.
  • Consistent study schedule alongside college.

🛠️ Key Learnings

Some of the most valuable areas I learned:

  • Network Security: Firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs.
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM): Authentication, authorization, MFA.
  • Risk Management: Threat modeling, vulnerability management.
  • Cryptography: Hashing, encryption, PKI.
  • Incident Response: Preparation, detection, containment, recovery.

🚀 What’s Next?

I plan to continue with a new certification i.e. INE eJPT, blogging about security, and preparing for internships in cybersecurity.
