congratulations on getting your A+, if you want to stay with CompTIA, and go into Cyber Security, you want to continue with Network+ and Security+. If you have little knowledge on networking and security principals, these paths will fill in those gaps. Understanding how networks work, subnetting, VLAN, network protocol and security concepts all are covered in these courses. After that Cysa+ or Pentest+ would be you next path. Cysa+ is more in the Security Defense side, Pentest is how to conduit penetration test. both are good to know, but I would say Cysa+ is more in line with Cyber security, Pentest+ is good to enhance your cybersecurity knowledge, but both are good to have. Remember you need to crawl, walk then run. I have seen make students jump into cyber security course without understanding basic networks and get lost. Getting a Stonge foundation with networking, "a little coding helps" and security principals and you be read for any advance security courses. Good Luck in your studies
