    So after my disastrous first attempt at the Cyber Ops exam, the investigation into it and finally the refund (which wasn't too bad). I decided to rebook the exam and attempt it again...

    This time, no issues, from the registration to the end of the exam. So at the end of the exam, I did the survey and the exam just ended. Did I pass? Did I fail? I had to wait for it to transfer from PearsonVue to Cisco before I realised that I passed. However I do not know what my score was, or where I was weak/strong.

    (Without breaking the NDA) What I did know is that the exam, well my exam was 104 questions longs, consisting of multiple-choice, multi-choice, drag & drop type questions, and scenario questions & answers.

    However at the end of the day, a pass is a pass.

    Resources I used for this:
    The T828 Network Security course from the OU.
    Junior Cybersecurity Analyst pathway
    Cisco CyberOps Associate pathway
    The CEH iClass training

    Thanks mate. I am kinda thinking CASP+, which is the next step up and is the most financially viable exam compared to the price of the other cyber security certs (especially with the academic discount from Comptia) :)

    But I won't seriously consider any professional certifications until after I finish the M816 from the OU (my current module) and that doesn't finish until May 2024.

    I have noticed the price of most security certs are now really expensive. They either require doing a course which costs a few thousand while some can be done without course but are still £500+.

    For those prices you could find academic qualifications cheaper.

    Definitely! If you're a student, even a part timer like me - discounts are great. Unfortunately they are not always advertised well, if at all...

    Why Cybersecurity?
    Cybersecurity is critical because it helps to protect organizations and individuals from cyber attacks. Cybersecurity can help to prevent data breaches, identity theft, and other types of cybercrime. Organizations must have strong cybersecurity measures to protect their data and customers.
