THE CompTIA CYBERSECURITY CAREER PATHWAY
IT pros can enter the CompTIA Cybersecurity Pathway at any point, depending on their IT experience, existing certifications, course of
study, job needs, interests and the specific skills they are looking for. For example, if you have two years of IT security experience or
equivalent knowledge, you can jump into the pathway at CompTIA Security+ to prove your knowledge. If you already have CompTIA
Security+, you can go right into PenTest+ or CySA+. In general, the pathway follows a hierarchy of skills needed for IT security; each
certification builds upon the skills from the previous one.

There are no required prerequisites for these CompTIA certifications, and they can be taken without IT experience. CompTIA
certifications mirror the current job roles of IT professionals, so it makes sense to earn these certifications to gain the knowledge
and hands-on skills currently being used in the workforce, whether you have job experience or not.

If you are an IT professional or an employer, you understand the value of on-the-job experience. IT certifications are a great place to
start, but they are not a replacement. If you have CompTIA certifications and on-the-job experience, you have the best of both worlds.
