Should you take CompTIA Security+ or CySA+ first?

Security+ first, in almost every case. CySA+ is not a harder version of Security+ — it is a different job. It assumes the vocabulary Security+ teaches and then asks you to work as an analyst. Both cover threats, vulnerabilities and incident response, but at different altitudes. Security+ asks what a control is and why it exists. CySA+ puts evidence in front of you and asks what you conclude from it.
