Thank you so much UG! No video on YT paints a clearer picture of the jobs. Your insights are really great!

The specificity and distinction in roles,is much appreciated.Thankyou for sharing.

Best cyber security advice I’ve heard out of these other KZfaqrs

Thanks for the great insight into this role. Please do more videos on the other roles in cybersecurity? I'm very interested in the different types of positions in cybersecurity and want to know more

Wow you just demystified every wrong assumption I made about what those roles actually are and what they do. Thanks for the valuable info about the tools. I will definitely look into those as they are very interesting to me.

Fantastic video! Thanks for your help.

Very informative. Bless you

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Solid advise thank you

Hey I just started watching your videos. You have a nice calm demeanor for explaining things and you explain them very thoroughly. I have my sec+ and have been working as a security analyst for about a year. I do lots of different things - manage a SIEM, M365 Security Center, IAM processes, Phishing campaigns, policies, etc. Finding vulnerabilities and explaining to the infrastructure team how to patch vulnerabilities is cool, but I really want to get more hands-on and work on patching the vulnerabilities myself. Would you be able to share any insights on the knowledge gaps that can show up between security analysts and security engineers? What should a security engineer know that a security analyst would not be expected to know? How would someone like myself make a smooth transition from analyst to engineer?

Than you! This really helps me so much will start in July for cybersecurity

Really enjoying your new uploads mate.. keep it up :)

great content

Hello Sir, yours videos are great and consists of real and practical answers. Actually I'm a CS undergraduate student and this is my 2nd year. But, I'm more interested in cybersecurity. I know how to install linux and basic commands and basic networking also but I don't know what to do next. Could you guide me as a beginner what to do now???

Listening to you can make one have the passion to be into this field but one must first check the job demand in their area. I did yesterday upon drawing my roadmap based on the first video i watched from you…. Well the demand is not quite high in my area. I ve got a loan due to graduate school degree I was never able to even find an entry level in. I don”t wanna go through that again.

I've been watching your videos for a while, and the honesty drove me away....for at least a week! At first it was, "OMG, it's really horrible!" A week later it was, "I can do horrible; I'm a freak!"

Great content as always. In your opinion, is it necessary for one who already has CISMP to go for comptia security +.

Hey great vid! Btw you wouldnt be constantly called out of the 9to5 time right? as i understand

Awesome video! Im currently working on ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity. Do you think as a beginner it is advisable to do eJPT certification before CySA+ if I plan to become a SOC analyst? I think understanding the offensive side will come in handy on the defensive side.

What about the cyber incident management team? Any other common position names? They typically oversee and provide oversight of changes etc. Also they handle data breaches, look over incident reports, etc.

I just applied for a bunch of colleges with cyber security, I'm trying finding all the jobs and trying to figure what would be best for me

Do you recommend online resources for Comptia or go directly with their training?

Hello Sir, how do you get around the experience requirements by the employer if you are applying for a SOC analyst position with certifications only and zero experience? Even the entry level / or junior SOC analyst positions they want you to have at least few years of experience. I am currently doing IAM/PAM work and would like to switch field. I understand a lot of security concepts, fundamentals, CIA triad, etc., but with zero experience as a direct involvement in SOC as a security analyst. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I really appreciate your videos and all the info you give! I havr a question, after sec+ would you go for Cysa+ or BTL1 ? i've seen you have recommended btl1 in another video but don't know which one will help me learn more

Wait so cloud computing is no longer in demand? If not what is the most in demand roles? What do u predict will be in demand in the next 10 years

Hello, I’m working as cybersecurity consultant. My job is on Microsoft security like EDR, M365 defender, MDI etc. I’m analysing the alerts which come in mde. Alert investigation. I am planning to do CEH course. Can you please tell me how should I proceed in my future? Is CEH good for my profile?

Do you have an opinion on the CompTIA CASP (Certified Advanced Security Practitioner)?

Hi Unix Guy! That is all great info, thanks! I have a question regarding the Security+. I have a Masters in Networking and Cybersecurity and some general IT experience. I still find it hard to get even an interview in Cybersecurity. So..I am interested in Threat Intelligence and I am thinking to go for the CySA+, just because after an MSc I do not want to go for a beginner level cert, I even think it might look strange to someone on my CV. I have the MSc for 2 years now. What would you recommend? Thanks so much!

I'm doing two this year security+ and comptiacysa+ then I will do splunk. How much time do I need ? I already have over 6years as a network technician. I wish on working remotely as a SOC.

Which cybersecurity job role will give you the most opportunity to work from home?

Hello sir: Do you know about "Soucefire" a commercial version of Snort, is it an IDS or IPS. Is it also possible to run IDS and IPS on the same network. Thanks for your time

Are threat management and vulnerability management the same thing? I saw some Americans talking about VM area in cyber but not sure what they call it here in Australia

Most of the job post for soc they are asking IDS/IPS what is best course for this

Hi, I am working as a soc analyst from past 2 years. I am looking for a job switch because of it's rotational working hours. Can you please suggest a job role in cybersecurity where I can use my experience and which is not required to work in rotational shifts. For that role which certificates you will recommend?

Dear UnixGuy, what do you think of the BTL1 certification? I heard it is more lab-based than the CySA+ but also not as widely recognised. Would you recommend it over CySA+? Thank you.

Do i have to be an expert in CTFs to become a SOC analyst? A lot of people advise me to do more CTFs! Is it essential?

Can u make videos about web3 smart contract auditing?

I'm a Msc student in cyber security with a background in computer science and basic system administrative experience. what should be my first Entry job certificate into CS environment. SECURITY+ or ISC2 (SSCP)? I believe these are the cheap ones out there...?

Hello! Please suggest my next step- I want to work as a SOC Analyst, and I just started work in a help desk position. I have an Associates degree in cyber security and security+ certified. Any recommendations for the next certification and how much help desk experience will be adequate to get an entry level role in cyber security? Love all your videos!❤️

I've been a SOC analyst for four years and trying to figure out my next step. Can you point my in the direction of career videos in my situation? Thank you.

So what are the steps for Threat management and threat intelligence?

What are the courses under cybersecurity to become a professional because I don't have any background at all.

Hello Sir! I have done my certification in CEH v11 & have about 2 years experience in AppSec. Can you please lay out a roadmap to become an SOC Analyst?

Hey mate, what about the BTL 1 instead CySa+ ? I have a Google IT Prossional, should i go for BTL next? Thx :)

How much networking knowledge is necessary for the SOC analyst role? Would basic theoretical understanding of OSI model, TCP/IP, DHCP, ARP etc. suffice? Or does one need more sophisticated knowledge like memorising the port numbers or having hands-on experience? Thanks.

Am currently studying Cyber security Analyst on Coursera through IBM, I want to know the best operating system to use on Real life experience Lab?

Cc, cysa+, Giac, SEC504 and splunk, would it be the road map? Thank you very much for your content, big hug from Argentina

Is it possible the detection part of the SOC functions without a tool? Thanks

Do you have a similar video for path towards cloud security?

Hi, I currently have an unconditional offer for cyber at maquarie uni, and a provisional offer for UTS. Can you please have a look at the course content for each uni and let me know your thoughts on which is better?. UTS is just starting a bachelor of cyber for 2023 (first time enrollments) so that's one thing to take into consideration. Also just for the sake of asking, if you know which has a higher employment rate that would also be a big help! Thanks, you've already helped me so much and I'm beyond thankful :)

Where is the link for free splunk training?

Hi, I really enjoy your video because I feel you really want to help people like me; not like others that just try to sell you their products. Can I please ask your advice on the following? I have a Cybersecurity Certificate (1 year degree) the Security+ and the CC; however, I haven't been able to land even an interview. I don't want to sit idly by and I want to get another certification hoping that it helps but I'm undecided between a cloud certification, a pentest certification or the Splunk certification. When I search for jobs in my area there is no clear winner. I am guessing that an AWS certification would be more valuable but after watching your video, I feel that Splunk will give me a bigger edge. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hey there! Question- Can you make a video on malware analysis and roadmap, are there enough number of jobs?

Boss, I am a offensive security engineer .. Oscp certified … I want to switch to SOC senior position ..incident responder dfir malware analysis

Sir share with me sometime Cybersecurity tools name so I will try to learn and will help me in internship and beginning role so I can put this in my CV.

I just got admitted to BIT - Computer & network security as I don’t have a degree. Should I finish my degree first before certification course or I can start certification now?

Sir, I'm currently studying bca. I'm really interested in cybersecurity.if I do CEH certificate it will be worth it?

Nice

I am a 42-year-old Brazilian who has always loved technology, unfortunately, I let life take me in another direction and now I regret it. It is my dream to be a SOC analyst but now I feel like it's too late, it feels like it would take centuries to learn all of this. Since i got nothing i was thinking about CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, (CCNA), (CISSP), ITIL Foundation, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner just to warm up xD. Please give me some advice or just say " give up" . xD

Hi Unixguy guy,I want to be a ethical hacker,pentester i am interested in taking certifications which all certifications would you recommend from beginner to expert level!!!

Is these information relevant for Australia

Hello Sir, Are Cybrary SOC Analyst L1 L2 L3 enough to get job as SOC Analyst?

Hii😍 I want ask you two questions Do you need to be an expert to work in any field in cybersecurity especially ethical hacking Can you work as a freelancer in this field from home?

I am a little confused .. idk Why in tech and cybersecurity there are so many roles that are inter-related. The responsibilities of one role also involve in other role or there are a lot of names for one role, this sucks and increases my confusion. My question is: You discussed 3 functions perform in a security operation center 1. DFIR 2. Threat Management 3. CTI Are these 3 catagories are a second name to soc analysts tier1, tier2 and tier 3 or they are different.. ?? What I understood is that SOC Analyst Tier 1 do Threat Management SOC Analyst Tier 2 do DFIR SOC Analyst Tier 3 do CTI is it? Only you can solve this confusion I researched a lot on SOC and SOC analysts and other cyber security job roles but everytime I get confused more..

Hello, thanks for the video but it would mean alot to me if you helped answer my question. As a student finishinh highschool whats the best advice in pursuing a cyber career? Is it better to study computer science for the bachelors and then go for cyber in masters or begin straight away with cyber in bachelors and continue it to the masters level? Thanks very much and an answer from you or anyone here with some experience will be helpful

Hello sir, can I be a DFIR and a threat intelligence at the same time?

hello sir, thanks for the infromation. but I want to ask for a recommendation for a certificate that is qualified and globally recognized in the field of cyber security. In addition to the knowledge that can be applied, it is also important for certificates that are qualified and recognized throughout the world. thank u sir

I really hope I'll be able to get a SOC Analyst job only with Sec+, Net+ and some IT Support experience, I don't want to be longer than 2 years in SOC because I want to be a pentester actually, but it's extremely valuable to have an experience in Cybersecurity before going to the offensive side I believe. But for me, taking CySA+ would be going too far into the Blue Team. And on the other hand, I want to have that little experience as a SOC Analyst. So hopefully I'll be able to break into cyber without CySA+. If I realize it's being really hard to break in, then I guess I'm gonna have to end up taking the cert. 😅

goat

Comptia CySa+

The link of splunk is not working

Does the soc analyst job requires talk with external customers often ?

I need a advice From You ❤️

"You don't need the Sec+ for pentesting or GRC," but some people like spending money and wasting time! I see people with three certs who can't inspect a windows log or run netstat.

My god, all SANS everything is obscenely expensive.

Splunk is not that good. LogRythm better. Also Microfost have their siem now.

Can I follow you on LinkedIn sir?

Hi. Are you there on LinkedIn. I wanted to connect with you. Kindly mention the page url here or the LinkedIn name.. Thank you.. Your videos are very helpful !!

I have a question, I’d like to start in cyber security I have previous knowledge in coding and programming stuff so I’m confused whether I should study in a university, bootcamp or self study, so I saw an advertisement about masterschool admissions they provide 6 months training after that they will help us find a job and we’re not gonna pay anything until we find a job, the fee is 15000$ I need your advise which is better self study, bootcamp or university, and if it’s self studying could you tell me where should I start, which website eccouncil, infosec, tryhackme, hack the box and there is a bunch of them.Thank you in advance

What do you think about tryhackme?
