    It's more of I'm paying $50 (£40+) per year to keep my ISC2 CC certification live.

    It's a nice entry level certification, and I'm glad I went for it. However $50 (£40+), while not alot of money over the course of 12 months, is not something that I would spend at a "drop of a hat". Plus there are other things I could put that money towards. But I would continue it if will be useful.

    Now I already have my PGDip in Cyber Security (Hopefully my MSc in 9 months), my Cisco Cyber-Ops, and my Comptia Security+. Is the CC certification worth it?

    Great question I think Ken. I think you've done amazing there as always. I'd say if your employer doesn't need it specifically, or if you're not going to do the level above next, I'd drop it. As you say, not a ton of cash thankfully at the current price that's still £400 over ten years isn't it. You could buy your other half lunch instead.

    That said, as it's not mega bucks, would work let you expense it possibly? If not I'd stop. All of our bills have gone sky high haven't they
