i will be joining my new company soon, which is an IT Security position, but i also intend to take 1 professional certification in IT security, lets say compTIA, but my trainer suggest me to take CCNA 1st before going to any IT security certification, I already owned CEH, but im not sure whether CCNA will be relating my current job, or maybe put it in a way like"will it benefit with my job now?"
So the question is, should I wait for company training offer by working long enough to get their sponsor(though one of their benefit is sponsoring those training that require renewal upon expiry) or spend my own money pursuing compTIA security+, my trainer is also my CEH trainer, so not sure whether should follow his suggestion, though CCNA will cover very less on IT security, more to networking while compTIA cover all on security.
However, with CEH background, i think taking compTIA security + or higher shouldn't be a problem without CCNA. Am i doing it right? Any IT expert out there could advise me?
should i wait for company sponsor training?
