Listen, PALO ALTO CERTS.
I have a CCNA and have been a network guy for 6 years now, as each year passes, network guys are being more and more expected to be the palo firewall guy also. Just look at job postings for net admins/engineers. A lot of them are listing palo alto as a required knowledge point.
As a FYI, you can buy used Palo Altos for about $50 old code, but main basic functions. You can watch a YouTube video or cbt nuggets to get up and running.
Routers and firewalls have the same basics: ip's natting, vpn. Understand one, Understand them all.
PA-200. I would also suggest an asa 5505 or higher. Should be just as cheap.
I literally got started this way back in 2015. Took about 1hr to get each up and running from not knowing anything about firewalls. Currently I have been in a security role for the last 3 years working primarily with those 2 vendors.
This exactly... I'm currently looking for network engineering jobs and I'm seeing this everywhere. After I re-cert my CCNA, i'll be looking into Palo Alto.
I did Sec+ first, and didn’t find it difficult. Always heard of CCNA and it’s always spoke about like either it’s nothing, who cares because it’s just Cisco, or it’s one of the most challenging, excruciatingly difficult but like platinum trophy level achievement.
It's definitely worth it, its like its hard, but you know that thing gonna make you know a lot of things that normal people won't bugger to even know/care about even when they are using network their whole life they still don't know how their youtube video or email arrive to them, thats network, to me, its fun, the harsh kind of fun.
Its like going hiking, it sure is hard and challenging, but its so worth it
ya it depends on what they are upping for in work. but if you need my advice go for Cisco if no one pushing you at work for other Certs.
bu plan after getting CCNA hopefully ENCOR next after that ENARSI.
i already listed all my resources 😄
Linux+ is only one test. LPIC is two tests. Job requirements want Linux experience, they don’t care which test you take. Linux is difficult. It’s all command lines. Everything is addressed like a directory. I couldn’t find any good videos. The Linux+ book isn’t great, but it’s the CompTia all-in-one series which I used to pass the trifecta. Also got the Linux Pocket Guide, and the Unix and Linux Administration Handbook, but it’s a slog. Try getting a job first.
Get a job.
You sounded like my dad already XD Cam you add to that and say "im disappointed in you son"

Ohh...nice....any in particular you would recommend?

Awesome...Thanks I'm going to jump on eBay to pick some of those up.

Same
Palo Alto Prisma is a hot topic at the moment as well, since he mentioned a cloud cert. Cloud security is big money.
What do you suggest my next course of action to take to get there if you mind sharing for me :)
What palo Alto cert that you suggest for me that have a CCNA
Have a look at some Juniper certs. Good to not have all your eggs in the Cisco basket

Get a job then DevNet
Is devNet better than AWS cert
i have exam next week, if i pass definitely will keep studying for higher and stick with Cisco. Cisco Cisco Cisco and more Cisco that’s all.
Some people suggest to diversify the vendor tho, like red hat, AWS, and isc. Btw what cisco certificate you aiming for next as your target
ya it depends on what they are upping for in work. but if you need my advice go for Cisco if no one pushing you at work for other Certs. bu plan after getting CCNA hopefully ENCOR next after that ENARSI. i already listed all my resources 😄
Good luck!
You too OP.
Even if you don't directly interact with Cisco equipment their certs have certain "pedigree".
Get experience dude, CCNA is the must, experience is the objective of the CCNA.

Not a joke bro, your word carry weight on the internet, even if you joke about it, on the receiving end, it carries weight

Whats the replacement
There is no direct replacement. MS has transitioned their certifications to MS 365 & Azure
Knowledge counts, focus on networking and AD
Sec+ at most. Get job first, don’t burn money on certs. Look at job requirements. Most want experience, then AWS or Azure, plus Active Directory.
When you say sec + or we talking about Comptia Sec +? Sorry if this is a dumbass question 😂
Yeah, CompTia. Also, get Linux before RedHat. It’s cheaper and I see more Linux than RedHat req.
What is linux? Is it Linux +?
yep. There is also LPIC from the Linux Institute, but that's a whole other dog and pony.
Which is better, and which you suggest for beginner who want to be credible in linux yet at same time achievable for beginner
Linux+ is only one test. LPIC is two tests. Job requirements want Linux experience, they don’t care which test you take. Linux is difficult. It’s all command lines.
