My First List
- Earn initial certifications Several certification programs verify a computer science employee's knowledge, allowing them to get entry-level positions in the computer science field. The first major certification is the CompTIA A+ certification. A future ethical hacker can receive an A+ certification by taking two exams that test their knowledge of computer components and their ability to reassemble a personal computer (PC). Next, they can earn a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) or CompTIA Network+ qualification before advancing their career. It's a certification that validates an ethical hacker's knowledge of networks, including troubleshooting, maintenance, installation and computer systems management.
- Gain experience in network support The next stage before qualifying as an ethical hacker is network support. At this stage, ethical hackers learn to update, install and monitor security programs and test for weaknesses. Before securing a position as a network engineer, an ethical hacker can gain experience in entry-level or associate positions in network support, like serving as a network support technician or specialist.
