I think the fact that there are so many videos on youtube (from multiple channels) talking about how to get a cyber security job proves that there isn't an overwhelming demand for cyber security professionals. Sure, there are some industry leaders complaining about how there is a "shortage". But what they are really complaining about is how they can't get away with paying cyber security workers 30-40k like they do with other types of workers and that they actually have to invest some money in training.

Hi Gerald and Stephen, thank you for producing such a valuable training for us in the cyber security industry - these things are so often overlooked at as top strategies and areas to master, I especially liked the emphasis on the critical soft skills -like STORYTELLING, mastering storytelling is a pro-tip upgrade to an introverts life! it's absolutely needed for any kind of true success in your life - it builds trust and rapport - making people like you and relate to you, and removes "resistance" like nothing else... do you have the next episode in the series listed? thank you so much! Awesome training that will bring real benefit and tangible results when applied to the resume!

Right now, the main tools I use are Rapid7, knowbe4, proofpoint, and carbon black. As someone with only a year experience, what should I get into next outside of my current company? Splunk, Sumo, or something else? I feel like every new job description has something I've never even heard of. I think Splunk has some cheap certs

@SimplyCyber 2 жыл бұрын

Those are good tools. You should really focus on the functionality of the tools as thats what will transfer. For example, you dont need to learn Qualys if you got Rapid7, but understand the challenges of effective vulnerability management at an org. The tool can tell you stuff and report stuff, but its just a tool to help you manage that capability. Same for Carbon Black. Great tool, but focus on the capability of EDR, how its deployed, where are the shortcomings, etc. This way if you move to a new company you are product agnostic and can get spun up on Microsoft Defender for Endpoints (for xample, because you have the theory and conceptual underpinnings of EDR as a capability.). if you are looking for the next thing, SIEM is def good, cloud (Azure) is good, and IAM (which is its own animal honestly) is good.

@@SimplyCyber Thanks for your advice Dr. Would you say that it makes sense to keep up with the leading tools that are highly rated by gartner? (ie. siem=splunk/securonix, tracking=servicenow, vulnerabilty scans=nessus/qualys).

Unfortunately with the guest its hard to tell when he’s speaking from knowledge/experience versus confidence. A lot of his propositions seems fairly speculative even if enthusiastically presented.
