It depends on the role. CISM is good for leadership roles, CISSP for engineers and CISA for GRC type roles. CySA+ is a good SOC/entry level cert.CISO in Government, 10,001+ employees
For junior analysts and engineers, we look for CySA+ and Security+ or equivalent. For senior analyst, SSCP and CEH are very desirable. And for management roles, CISM, CISA and CISSP.CISO in Software, 10,001+ employees
I do not look for certifications, I look for experience and results. I love when I can see examples of their work and skills: GitHub, blogs, documentation, repos, etc.Content you might like
