What courses have you completed?
Do you want a program that you can go at your own pace or one that you can do cheaper if you go fast?
Try to figure out how to get some hands on experience. Even if it is just labs. That is the biggest weakness I am seeing with entry level people in the field.
Do you work in financial services? If you do there, is a bridge to Cyber through Fraud or Risk Management teams.
I would put CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ on your road map. Sec+ is a well recognized entry level security cert. Its weakness is that it is mostly theory which is where CySA+ comes in. While not as recognized yet, it has a lot of practical application. I plan to make it an advancement requirement for my team. There are a lot of certs in this spec, but Sec+ is the place to start. One before it is CompTIA Network+.
