Bro I agree, after taking CySA and currently studying for BTL1 hands down BTL1 got my vote. I mean if you’re not getting the course from school you have to buy the labs separately, which I did and it wasn’t cheap. The difference with the blue team is you have to actually put what you learned in the lesson to use and solve the problem.
Good work as usually young bull.

Considering CYSA but BTL1 has garnered my interest lately. Thank you Day, your videos help me make the right decision for me

[gusbarnesiii]

CySa+ may draw interest from recruiters/hr to get your foot in the door with an interview. BTL1 may help out with hands on and interview questions. Both certs maybe valuable to someone just start off in cybersecurity. I have my Sec+ and think it would be extremely helpful with getting both certs this year.

I rather have a free retake than have a chance to fail and pay $400 again if I don’t pass it the first time 😂 BTL all the way!!

CCD + CySa is the way to go. CCD for the practical skills and CySa for HR!

[joshuaspeshock]

Really great Breakdown of both and very high quality walkthrough!! Super high quality and just overall a gem of a video! You the man and keep up the momentum you are killing it!!

[TechTualChatter]

Good video
You know im the biggest advocate for the CySA+ once someone gets some experience under their belt.
I have had some clients ask me aobut the BTL1 and i normally just send them your way lol
but great video man

[genjioto]

You want labs for any CompTiA you need to purchase separate certmaster Labs, don’t get certmaster because that’s overkill.

[sirxavior]

If I understand correctly CySa+ is an overall Security Operations cert. Were as BLT1 is more specialized in two domains of Security operations, Forensics & Incident Handling.

[Root-unonw]

Mine is CompTIA Security + CysA +, BTL1 + CyberOps CCNP

[opekolawole]

Cysa+ for knowledge base nd BTL1 for hands-on, I recommend doing both but cysa+ first then BTL1 after

[EniolaBamgbopa]

I think after checking all your reviews.. I would do pick SEC+ over Cysa+ (I already have 3yrs experience but need the security Certification). Then I would go on to write the BlueTeamLvl1

[ctjmaughs]

Thanks for the great comparison. Would like to hear thoughts or review of GIAC certs, the ones SANS offer

[LoveFactorySweatShop]

If you get Cysa+ bundle with the retake and the official Comptia course, it comes out to $550, which is almost the same as BTL1.

Hi Day, how about CSA from ECCouncil? I like the format of Security Blue Team, it has practical questions. I already finished the BTJA path and I liked it so much. I will surely take the BTL1 once I'am done with CSA.

[AkinyemiOreoluwa-yokh]

Blue team Level 1 is more beneficial. It gives real life experience

[jjthoughts]

i would say read up on CYSA+ because it has good concepts and good for knowledge but don't do the exam and then do BTL1 exams

[dlengelkes]

What do you think about Cisco CyberOps Certification track?

[gabrieljr]

I have 1 year of general IT exp, I have the Network+ and getting my Security+ in 4 weeks after that I want to aim a little hire at mid level/advance certs as far as difficulty how hard is the BTL1? Yes I know it’s only as difficult as much as you’ve been studying and applying knowledge but I’m asking from a standpoint with my current experience level how hard would it be?

[anandalye]

Great vid my man. 1 question, do you think I should do the Introductory Courses in the junior pathway before doing BTL1?
