For beginners in 2025, I recommend starting with foundational certifications like CompTIA Security+, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), and Microsoft SC-900; I’ve seen many learners at H2K Infosys use these to build core security knowledge without prior IT experience. Security+ is widely recognized and vendor-neutral, while ISC2 CC focuses on risk, governance, and basic security operations. Microsoft SC-900 suits those targeting cloud and identity fundamentals. In real projects, these certifications align well with entry-level SOC, IT support, and junior security analyst roles. Pairing certification study with hands-on labs or Online classes cyber security helps translate theory into practical skills employers actually test for during interviews.
