What are the certificates to do for a cyber security job?

Could someone assist me here with a list of certifications that I can do to make me a certified cyber security analyst or ethical hacker? I would like to purse that field and as the demand for this type of job is on the rise.

EC-Council (Certified Ethical Hacker) https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-ethical-hacker-ceh/

Thank you @CyberSec_ET for this information.

I'd suggest looking at job ads to see what they are requiring.  We can tell you anything, but you should be concerned with what they want in the real world.

I really didn't get what you meant by this.

Thank you Kilroy for the reply. I don't really know what are the industry accepted exams for Cyber Security or Ethical Hacking. So it would be nice to know and which could help me pursue such exams based on the cost and the demand for it. I am just a newbie in the field of Cyber Security and would really like to gain any sorts of knowledge possible.

Also check with local and nearby colleges and universities, some may have a few real good education paths to some certifications.

I am currently studying in a university in Lithuania for Bachelors in Cyber Security. But i feel that extra certification will help me add more value to my portfolio in future for job aspects. Therefore I am have asked this question.

It means a post was accidentally made twice, hitting submit when it seemed like the first submit did not "take".

Oh thanks Roland for the info. I am a newbie here, so just getting used to the environment here.

Check out My Profile for a list of a few of them. CISA, CHFI, CISSP, CysA+ there's a bunch.

Also When did we stop using "Tiger Team" and start using " Red Team"???? o.0

A long time ago, according to Wikipedia, but it seems that there is a difference between Tiger Team and Red Team as the Wiki starts off with Not to be confused with tiger team.

I Don't Use wikipedia as a legitimate source, but that's just me, and I'm NOT referring to the military Tiger Team. "Tiger Team" Is an individual or group of hackers trying to break into something then reporting how they did it so it can be patched. I've only heard the term "Red Team" in the passed 3 weeks and as someone that's an IT Auditor, these names are getting ridiculous , imo.

Apologies to OP for Straying Off Topic
