Self studying for aws ccp (prob going to do exam next week) and then plan to use acloudguru for architect, going to get the cert, start making my own projects to show experience gains + market myself, will do security on acloud a short while after (will put in resumes and LinkedIn that I'm actively working towards it though). Anything else you think I can do? I watch this video once a day to keep me motivated. Thanks for the help in direction, want to use my time as efficiently as possible.

You are giving yourself the best chance to break into the industry, keep doing those certs and you WILL get your foot in the door! Next step would is attend industry events, connect with hiring managers and recruiters on LinkedIn and let them know that you are planning to get into cloud security and show them your work 👏🏻

There are a lot of cyber security channels out there but I really like your short and to the point videos with zero fluff. I have just now pivoted to a cyber security role after over two decades as a Sys Admin and then as a hands-on IT Manager. It is pretty much the perfect pivot as there is a huge maturity uplift required and I will be the sole person that will need to improve everything from introducing technical controls all the way up to GRC through alignment with the Australian PSPF. I'm very montivated and in the years to come I want to maintain my lead over the less experienced individuals entering the industry. In terms of defence, I assume a natural progression career and money-wise is to focus on GRC or Security Architect? I do prefer technical decision making but I know there are some crazy salaries but those are often down in Canberra. I have a CISM and will probably start on the CISSP soon. Please keep posting these great videos. I'm sure your channel will keep growing.
@UnixGuy2 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate I appreciae the kind words! your background is the perfect background for cyber security and you will do great things! Since you mentioned PSPF, I assume it's a government organisation, I will always recommend starting with the Essential 8 and prioritising them - you would be surprised how many organisation fail at implementing them. They will give you the best bang for your buck! From there you will probably need to create a compliance program using the ISM which is fairly comprehensive As for certs, your track is good, I did CISM and never bothered with CISSP as I'm in management and there seem to be a point of diminishing returns with certs. CISSP seem to have the best return on investment so you can't go wrong with that. Your observation is correct, there is big money in GRC and architecture so get your hands wet in there but if you find it boring or you don't enjoy it, you can always do something else and there is big money in anything in cyber if you're good. I know someone who is so good of a security analyst (incident response), he is a lead SOC analyst and then he moved to Head of SecOps, he is still hands on but make the big bucks, so you don't have to do GRC or Architecture for money, there are many avenues. (same thing with penetration testing btw..). Glad you like the content, I started the channel to share things I wish I knew when I started!

My first time on your channel and I love your videos. I just got a "scholarship" of sorts into a community college that offers free certifications and I've been really struggling with which one to pursue. In the past one of my relatives kept suggesting CCNA (he has CCNP and has been doing the career for 20 years), but after watching your videos and many others, I'm thinking it's not worth it. I'm stuck trying to decide between these options: CCNA, CompTIA cysa+, red hat certified system admin, and AWS certified solutions architect. I have no previous tech experience and no college degree whatsoever. I just cant make up my mind on which to pursue! But AWS sounds pretty good.

Hey Jon, glad you’re enjoying the vidoes, I’n glad you’re not listening to your relative! Choose what you think you’ll enjoy, if it’s cloud then do AWS and stick to it, if it’s cyber securitu then CySA+ and if you want to be a systems engineer then redhat. I would choose either cyber or aws and stick to that.

@Jacob: I don't know why I can't see your comment, I wrote a long reply here it is again, hope you can see it: Thanks for the feedback mate, I really appreciate it. your career path is absolutely fantastic and you did all the right things! For SIEMs, I do find that experience is a lot more important than certs, so you can get your hands dirty with Splunk certifications if you want to, but if you have a lab and practice Splunk (for example) that's enough and I don't believe you'll need more certs for SIEM. The thing with SIEM is that you need to use to create "detection rules", so the more you know about attacks the better, SANS GCFA is a fantastic cert as it can take you through the attacks methodoly, or SANS GCIH, while they're not SIEM certs, they do give you a good understanding of what a defender do. I know SIEM specialists who make big $$$ and they don't have any certs, but they have experience that they can show and they can hit the ground running, it's an excellent area. Look up jobs titled "Cyber Detection Engineer" or SIEM. I wouldn't bother with CompTIA as they're geared toward beginners. If you want something general with the best return on investment then get the CISSP done (if you can tolerate the boring content!) Hope this helps 😃

Lol that's really weird it disappeared but here's the comment for anyone that wanted to see what I wrote. Thanks man I really appreciate the help and your videos are short and to the point: Hey there, love your videos. Can you critic my path to becoming an entry level Information Security Analyst? I have 3 year internships of IT, graduated in MIS, starting at a Big4 for Cybersecurity consulting out of college as a cyber consultant I plan to get hands-on experience with SIEMs at this big4 job, get my Security+ and Network+ within 1-2 years, while also being able to work on Cloud projects. Before my Security+ expires (not that it matters, but might as well), get the CySa+ in year 3 to renew the Security+ as well as add another cert to compliment my experience. I will probably stick to CompTia certs and only obtain these specific certs from Comptia, then maybe move onto SSCP or so since Cloud+ and CASP+ in Comptia don't even seem looked at. As you said, avoid Cisco certs. I am wanting to get a job that uses SIEMs, but very little coding/pen-testing as I do not really feel like I'm that good at it. I think Cloud+ and those other Certs by Comptia are super useless. I will see how I like Cloud after my first project and whether or not it's for me.

There is definitely a shortage of GCP people so that’s a good avenue, but I still think AWS is worth it simply because it’s most used cloud platforms so naturally there is always a demand.

Also, learning any cloud platform, the skills are very transferrable to another cloud platform so you can’t go wrong with either Good luck and thanks for stopping by :)

There is universally no certifications that can guarantre getting a job on their own. Doing them will guarantee that you learned the topic, gained knowledge and some handson experience, which should improve your likelihood of landing a job. getting a job depends on many other factors (your cv, how you interview, past experiences, opppourtinities in your city, certifications and in some instances university degrees)

Should I learn many aspects of cybersecurity at once in parts during the day or fully focus on one? For example, simultaneously learn AWS Cloud like in the video, Pentesting and Defending with TryHackMe and learn ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity. Or should I focus fully on 1 course?

Hi Sir, Firstly, thank you for your youtube videos and sharing your knowledge on Cybersecurity and cloud. I'm from India, I recently joined as international student for master's in Information security and privacy at University of Calgary, Canada. I hope to get into cloud security after I graduate. Courses are around GRC, ethical hacking, network security in the curriculum. My question is, Which kind entry-level or mid roles are usually open for cloud security jobs. I also have 1.5 years of experience as an SRE ? What would you suggest me to focus more in depth in my graduate? I currently have GCP- associate cert, so would you suggest me to take CCSP or go with GCP security cert first? I am asking lot of questions, I'm sorry but actually I'm confused and overwhelmed. Any suggestions from you would be really helpful. Thank you

hey mate, thanks for your kind words! I say focus on your masters degree and learn as much as possible. There are many roles, it could be cloud support analyst or information security analyst.
