What are the basic certification course for beginners?

Question

I am an application developer in MNC with 2 year experience. What are the basic certification or course should I do what can help myself to shift in security field?

Answer 1

My employer required CompTIA's Security+ certification for entry-level positions. It will give you the basics. Despite criticism for its form (multiple-choice answers), by actually doing the course and studying on areas where you lack knowledge, you will get a decent start about security. After that it may become a matter of choosing where you want to go next such as malware analysis, penetration testing, intrusion analysis, forensics, etc.

So start with Security+. It's the most basic and possibly the most common entry level certification.

Answer 2

Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) only requires one year and is a little more conceptual than Security+.
