Security+ Is Not the Cert the SOC Job Requires
The job posting for SOC Analyst lists Security+ as the requirement. The technical interview asks you to walk through a SIEM alert, identify the lateral movement, and explain what you would contain first. Security+ does not test that. CySA+ does — at 33% of the exam, with Wireshark, SIEM correlation, and CVSS scoring named in the objectives. Security+ covers the same territory at the vocabulary level. Both certs are CompTIA products. The boundary between them is not accidental. A candidate who earns Security+, targets a SOC role because every job posting lists it, and fails the technical screen because the interview tests CySA+ skills is now a candidate for a second cert purchase. Three separate comments on a post about this gap named CySA+ independently within 24 hours. None of them were citing the same source.
