   Now is a great time to add certifications to your resume that will make you more marketable and increase your value, ergo compensation, as a cybersecurity professional.
   
   Here are some certifications that can help you do just that.

   • The CompTIA Security+ is a fantastic entry point into the land of certifications. You'll learn the baseline skills to perform core security functions, which is critical to the start of a successful cybersecurity career. After finishing Cybrary's SOC Analyst Career Path, you'll be prepared to take AND pass the Security+ exam.
      

   • A Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) is an excellent credential for new information security practitioners and sets you on the path to becoming a leader in the field. It also serves as a precursor to one of the most sought-after certifications, the CISSP.

   • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is becoming extremely popular as an entry-level certification with content focusing on the cloud. You will learn the architectural and operational principles, value proposition, services, security, and compliance related to the AWS cloud platform.

4. Why generative AI is a double-edged sword for the cybersecurity sector
