Certified: DataSys+ and the Practical Path Into Database Administration

from Mastering Cybersecurity: The Cyber Educational Audio Course · host Dr Jason Edwards

CompTIA DataSys+ (DataSys+) is a practical certification for people who want to understand how database systems are deployed, managed, secured, maintained, and recovered. In this episode, we walk through what the credential is, who it is really for, and why it matters for early-career IT professionals, career changers, junior database administrators, technical support staff, system administrators, and data-focused learners who want to move closer to operational database work.This narration is based on my Monday “Certified” feature from Bare Metal Cyber Magazine. We look at what DataSys+ really tests, including database fundamentals, deployment, maintenance, security, governance, backup, and business continuity. We also place the credential into a broader career path and explain how the Bare Metal Cyber Academy fits as the home for connected study resources, including the free audio course, Study Guide, and Flash Cards ebook.
