so happpy to hear that!!!! huge congrats 🙏🏻

Hello bro..how can i talk to you..please give me your ID or whatsapp number.

Can I ask you some questions?

@@edisvidinli sure go ahead

@@abdelghfarahmed thanks I have many questions but first of all did you have cs degree or not

Me too! I’m down to be partners to go through this journey together

can’t wait to see how you go!!

join our discord, many people there are on the same journey (link in the About section)

Thank you, this is a great video that come just in time for what I was looking. I have many years of experience as security engineer working in the DC with many security products such as CP, Cisco and lately Palo Alto. I have been working in n the cloud for some PAN VM series firewalls but I don’t have the cloud experience to know the ins / out of both AWS and Azure to figure my way out how all comes into places. I have been struggling which way to advance my cloud security knowledge and I was trying to match with what most jobs are looking in a candidate, and I didn’t know how to go about doing it. It didn’t not make sense to me to start from the beginning, and way my work up but I don’t have the skills they are looking n those jobs such as automation, scripting, etc. It did not make sense to me to throw my years of experience and switch to other roles such as solutions architect (to make it worth while) but I don’t have the depth of knowledge / experience for those type of roles. So your suggested path, I think it will make much more sense and I think I can see my self achieving all those skills and certs within a year time, so thank you. Just a specific question: 1. There are specialized networking certs for the cloud and what’s your opinion about those certs. I think knowing networking is also important to do security and if you have any suggesting (AWS and azure) 2. I see that there is a shift towards devsecops as well in the industry and I am wondering if cloud security engineers are also expected to fill those roles as well.

It's amazing. You have basic in IT or your degree

Glad I could help

always happy to hear your updates man, you’re doing a fantastic job!

@@UnixGuy Thank you! And off to work I now go 😆

🙏🏻

Go for it! good luck 👏🏻

My pleasure!

glad to hear that! having networking engineering background is fantastic for cyber security!

Glad it was helpful 🫡

You are so welcome!

glad you’re here! all the best with your journey 👏🏻

Glad to help 🙏🏻

sounds aweosme! well done 👏🏻

thanks mate 🙏🏻

best of luck!

Thanks sir. Can I start applying for security jobs immediately after following this roadmap. I have no prior IT experience. Thanks

thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏻

Hi I am also in a similar journey. Do you mind sharing the sources for the mini lab projects you did ?

network security in a sense a certification or as a subject?

Could you Please share those lab vedios

glad to hear that, all the best 🫡

Do you know of any IT companies hiring people for you at Helpdesk positions?

@@MiraculouslyLiving The best advice I can give to you is to apply to 10-20 places per day. That can be Help Desk to any JR level security position. Also, build a home lab. Letsdefend, Ciscoforall, and UNIX Guy have great resources on that. You may get lucky with a company interviewing you and asking you mostly scenario based questions. Best of luck to you!

Glad it was helpful!

good luck!

thank you 🙏🏻

GRC video will come soon, reason it’s delayed is because im working on something very cool that will be a game changer for GRC 😎 make sure u’re signed up to the newsletter because that’s where it’ll be announced first

good luck 👏🏻

I had the same thoughts, I’m going into cloud engineering first then into cloud security engineer

excellent! that will help you a lot 👏🏻

All the best

Same with me. I have been watching Ur videos and am confidently ready to start cloud security journey

100% agree, wish more people understood this!

🙏🏻

glad its helpful!

don’t feel down, you can definitely make excellent use of it!

@UnixGuy I'm just in a tight spot as a single father with a little one to watch after... some times it just feels like I'm running out of time. but I won't quit on her. failure isn't an option. thank you for the advice be safe out there.

yeah mate must be really tough! hang in there!

best of luck!

hey mate, well done on finishing the NYU courses! this path is no better or worse than the security analyst path; it’s just another possibility for you :) pick one path and follow through with it

One is faster! (Hint hint: you'll be able to advance faster too :D)

I post weekly success stories of individuals from all over the world who followed my roadmaps, so it works. I wouldn’t worry about ‘recognised’. The skills you learn are ‘recognised’. Also, the google cert is the beginning of you journey, you will be doing a lot more stuff afterwards

Glad it was helpful!

maybe in the near future :)

🎉

Happy to help :)

🙏🏻

it’s a great initiative!

In your honest opinion, how long would it take for a guy with a family to obtain this certificate if one plans to do it as a part-time?

​@@Breezyaon1It all depends on individual factors. Such as studying time, work life balance etc

As explained in the video, both azure and aws are very similar, learn one and you’ll be good at the other. It just happened that there is more quality training coming from azure that makes it easier for beginners to start

@UnixGuy Fair enough, you were number one following this month on KZfaq, but now you are EVEN more

good luck man, you should be very proud of yourself and im sure any company will be very lucky to have you! keep at it and you will reach your goals very soon!

How was the SC900?

That's a great idea!

How would go about documenting your projects?

@@JohnWickIsAlive For me simple screen shots and write out what you did in your steps. I am doing this for 2 reasons, 1 for hands on experience, and 2, to show something tangible I have done. Hell even for a bonus depending on how you document may go a long way also. Another thing, what I intend on doing is hosting my simple blog on AWS to add another layer of experience under my belt

I would at least do the practical projects first :)

thanks for letting me know; I’ll look for an alternative!

I've just updated the links in the description box of the video!

🙏🏻

glad you found it!

no idea, everyone learns at a different speed

🙏🏻

thanks!

🙏🏻

🫡

start by doing the projects and certs recommended in this video :)

🫡

@@UnixGuy I'm I will but when get my first gob

unfortunately there are no free alternatives, so best is to get a job to save up and pay for training

once u do those u can learn aws quickly, same concepts just different names

the focus of the channel is cyber security, perhaps you can do cloud sec instead? 😎

🙏🏻

that might be happening soon 😎

@@UnixGuy I’m so looking fwd to it, could we have a rough estimate of when it’s going to be live plz

I have a video titled fastest way to be a cyber analyst - follow that :)

🫡

🫡

@@UnixGuy Your sincere and caring approach shines through every video; there’s a clear difference between you and the rest who make similar videos. Your ability to create a roadmap for beginners, and show them clarity on how to achieve their career goals and skills acquisition from a recruiter perspective is second to none. This is why I said what I said 🙏🏾.

yep the roadmap you’re looking for is in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erh6nMZp26nTlHk.html

Oh my! Thanks a lot. I already watched and had the steps written down. I never knew the video was for SOC Analyst

yes It’s a great time to do so! the skills in azure are tranferrable to aws and some of the project listed are aws related :)

go for it 👏🏻

Mine too! Good luck with your studies

@@goldielocs41let’s stay connected !

hey mate, yes this is definitely the path that’s suitable for you. Your technical support background will help a lot

can u try to get a different azure account? maybe use a different email?

I recommend searching for the word ‘cyber’ :) I talked about it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdmIiauhqbSxZIE.html

@@UnixGuy Lol I hear you loud and clear! I did hear that in that video, thanks for the confirmation :)

This video is about flexability. You can do, what You want if You manage to do. This is the beauty of a jurney. You are the "play maker" ;)

you dont need sans training for vulnerability, look up free qualys training its just a skill on its own, I talked about it on this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p95jjdhmrMrNgac.htmlsi=1AVJ_gPiR0anOyD0

the video includes aws projects, check them out please…

I have discussed the ‘HR filters/keywords’ in many videos. Do security+ if you feel strongly about it and you want to apply to a specific government job (DoD). Otherwise no, it is not a must in the US.

What is DoD?

@@UnixGuywhat is DoD?

@@eustaceelms9403 Department of Defense.

US Department of Defence @@eustaceelms9403

you can do both at the same time, also no reason why you can’t start now

It’s honeslty optional at this point :)

hey mate, you can definitely just focus on cloud skills and if you’re concerned about general ‘IT’ skills then you can brush up quickly on them by doing the courses recommended in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK9_qdabnNCmpYU.html

@@UnixGuy that’s great advance ! Thank you! So you think it’s worth my time getting A+ or network + before going straight to cloud? Because like you mentioned before getting certifications are good but i need projects and real life experiences right?

Follow the roadmap as it is, do the projects after you finish the certs. It is important you follow the roadmap in the correct order it's laid out

if you have a lot of experience, you can probably follow this map and do it quicker - depends on how fast you learn and what type of experience you already have programming is optional, not a must for everyone

Thank you!

As I explained in the video, all these platform are extremely similar! you can do Aws practitioner, then aws architect then security. Likewise with gcp

You can do it! Nice Sora pfp btw😎 he’s my main in smash bros

I don’t see why not

information security and cyber security terms are used interchangeably

glad you’re here my friend! it really depends on how fast you learn, everyone’s different. 6 months is a good target

what I am about to say is not meant to sound like to know everything. In all truth I am still struggling to get a job in CS. I have a Masters in Cyber Security from University San Diego, Network+, Security+, and CySA+. Do you think 6 months is realistic? @@UnixGuy

yes I think, you have a good baseline but you don’t have any practical experience or practical certs / so following the roadmap will help woth that

Do you think there are plenty of remote jobs available with competative pay for this type of work?@@UnixGuy

comptia sec+ is an entry level general cyber cert, it is good the aws security specialty is focused on security within the aws environment they’re two different things

🙏🏻

they’re ok, do them if you want after finishing this roadmap :)

doing comptia isn’t necessary, you can do these instead of you’re concerned: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK9_qdabnNCmpYU.html but you should be able to just do the Microsoft cyber analyst - its designed for someone with zero experience

I’ve discussed that in so many videos already…

they’re both different things. First you need to become a generalist security analyst by following this roadmap, then you can learn about those areas. In Blue team L1, you will get introduced to those areas I don’t recommend CySA+ , focus on blue team that would be enough

basically meant to ‘design’ cloud solutions, which can just be one task
