There is a 'high demand ' for Security professionals...

With the rise of 'Internet of Things' and the connected world we live in, sobrang taas ng demand for  'I.T security professionals' sa panahon natin ngayon.



Hundreds of thousands of local and international organizations are looking for I.T professionals who have skills in Cybersecurity, Network security, Cloud security and I.T security as a whole.

 Job opportunities are exponentially increasing. 

At ang maganda pa, you can get paid 'well'.

Security is one of the highly-paid domain in the field of information technology.

If you have the skills and knowledge(+ the character), there is a 'huge' opportunity waiting for you.

But the problem is...

There is a lack of talent and skilled individuals who are qualified for the jobs.

Lalo na dito sa Pilipinas.

Kakaunti pa ang mga skilled I.T security professionals at kulang na kulang kumpara sa dami ng opportunities na available right now. 

That's why if you're an aspiring I.T professional, having skills and certification related to I.T security is one of your best 'weapon'.

By acquiring the skills and certifications related to I.T security, you're getting closer to the 'golden opportunities' in the I.T industry today and in the years to come.

Additionally, you're far ahead sa ibang candidates who are NOT skilled enough and doesn't have certifications.

Now, you might be asking...

"Where do I start?"

Learn the fundamentals.

That's the best way to start.

By learning the basics and fundamentals of I.T security, makaka-build ka ng 'solid foundation' in your I.T career.

And by having a 'solid-rock foundation', hindi ka na mahihirapan to go up the ladder and move to the advance area of I.T security.

If you follow Tech Academy(or CCNA PH) from the start, you knew that this is one of our mantra.

"Learn the basics and fundamentals to build a solid-rock foundation in your chosen I.T career".

Now, you might be asking...

"Sir Billy, where do I start learning the fundamentals?"

In my opinion, one of the best way to learn the basics and fundamentals of I.T security is the Comptia Security+.

Why Comptia Security+ is the best way to start(especially for beginners)?

  • It covers a wide-array of fundamental topics in I.T security.

    From social engineering techniques, to other types of attacks to incident response and governance risk and compliance - they have it covered.

  • It is vendor-neutral.

    Meaning, the topics and technologies it covers are applicable and use not only to a specific vendor but to the whole I.T industry.

  • It is one of the most in-demand entry-level security certification

    Comptia Security+ is one of the well-known and respected entry-level certification for aspiring I.T security professionals - worldwide.

    International organizations recognized Comptia Security+ certified individuals have a strong foundation of I.T security.

    It's even approved by U.S Department of Defense as a baseline certification(DoD 8570).


Right now, the current exam curriculum for Comptia Security+ is the Comptia Security+ SY0-601.

It covers all the important aspects and concepts of security ranging from different areas.

The main chapters of the current Comptia Security+ SY0-601 are:

  1. Threats, Attacks and Vulnerabilities
  2. Architecture and Design
  3. Implementation
