Linux plays an incredibly important part in the job of a cybersecurity professional. Implementing technologies and processes to harden the security of systems and networks.Investigating and performing post-mortem analysis of a security breach to identify the data accessed and the exploits used by the attacker.
It takes time and multiple resources to get to certification status. I personally have found this to be a bridge too far. Maybe I'm misrepresenting, but that seems to jive with the posts on the Reddit sub, as well as my experiences with folks who just want the cert, not the knowledge. They won't ask the question about which book is better at preparing for an exam - they'll ask for more books, more materials, more perspectives.īut the OP's question is, "because of time/money, we have to choose one book, teach it once, and get the candidate to certification ready status". A prudent learner is going to investigate different approaches, writing and learning styles, and adapt those to how they learn. Now, if we believe in the spirit of what certification is about, then restricting one's learning to one book, no matter how good it is, is not wise. So now, the question is - what is certification about, to pass a test or validate knowledge? I don't need to go into a diatribe about motivations, but suffices to say, those on the CompTIA reddit usually are trying to pass a test so they can score a job of some kind, not trying to build up a career. I've commented on this before - are we trying to "pass a test" or are we trying to acquire the skills and knowledge to do a job. This question is one that has been asked and promulgated by course writers and developers since long before any of this has been a thing. I have also seen this Reddit and mostly what I see out there are students who are trying to just enough to pass an exam.
