I often get DMs about not getting cybersec internships. Head over https://t.co/PcBQPlSpAr and register. Go to Explore and select Security—you’ll find plenty of opportunities there.
Also, sorry for the late replies. I’m juggling a few things right now, so keep me in your prayers!
Once you complete all the sections, you need to do some practice tests. I say aim for 92% pass rating, ideally 100%.

Have you found yourself interested in a career in cybersecurity but unsure what area to focus on?
GRC may be too boring for you and that’s ok. It’s plenty to choose from.
I thought about going into Identity Access, Application Security or Incident Response longterm.
Are you interested in Identity Access Management? This guy breaks down the most important concepts to study in the Comptia Security+ book to elevate your skills and understanding and to ace this section of the exam.
