Cisco Certified Support Technician - Part 3: Cybersecurity


This is the 3rd and the last of the CCST Certifications I studied and pass.

This is remind me of the CompTIA Security+ which I pass around 10 years ago but it was a CE (Continuous Education) version meaning a 3 year certificate and I did not renew because after I become the CASP (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner) now renamed CompTIA SecuriyX+ I am done with CompTIA.

Now with is exam. I use Udemy to study this which took few days to study. Then I spend 2 weeks practicing the mock test using the G-Metrix. The test was complicated because they use too much acronyms. I had to understand the acronyms such as SOAR, SIEM and MITRE. Once I understand the full terms, then I get to know the fundamentals and the materials behind it.

Now I become more knowledgeable about the type of threats, attacks and virus. Also understand the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) and each usage of them.

I sat in the exams relaxed and the questions was tricky but I understood it very carefully.
I pass the exam in flying colours with the score of over 900 points. The high score is unexpected, but once you pass IT Support and Networking in correct order you will learn the concepts of Security.

Now I pass IT Support, Networking and Cybersecurity. I am now officially known as the CCST Trifecta!
