I recently earned the CompTIA Security+ certification, and as a working technician, the biggest takeaway for me was how much it enhanced my overall approach to problem-solving. It helped me understand security from a risk and impact perspective, rather than just fixing issues as they arise. Concepts like access control, network traffic, and basic incident response now feel more structured and easier to apply during real client work.
One thing that really helped me prepare was using CompTIA practice tests by P2PExams to identify weak areas before the real exam, and they were very realistic, covering the same type of questions I faced in the exam.
What I also realized is that Security+ doesn’t replace hands-on experience, but it does organize the knowledge many technicians already have. It strengthened my networking fundamentals and made it easier to explain security-related decisions to clients in a more professional way. For technicians who are already in the field, I’d say it’s less about memorizing terms and more about learning how to think systematically about security. Curious to know if others here had a similar experience with Security+ or any other certification.
