@@Cyber-Check Kindly share me the details

Hello, that's interesting. How long did you wait? Sometimes there are big delays with transformation in hours. It's also possible you have multiple workspace transformation rules on different tables. Didn't test it for a while, maybe Microsoft fixed it, but you couldn't have multiple workspace transformation rules. You would have to combine all your rules into one, even for multiple build in tables such as SignInLogs NonInteractive...etc.

It's nice to hear that you are working on the labs. You are dedicated and I'm glad to hear that you are not giving up. Learning is a process. Keep up the good work @CrypTales007

There are many ways to gain knowledge and skills. I respect different opinions. Personally I have done CCNA over network +, but that's because I was working with cisco routers and switches. As cyber security analyst, you don't need to learn how to configure OSPF.

Depends on your career and personal goals. For example I don't think it's necessary for SOC analyst positions. If you inspire to become security consultant, engineer or architect. I think it's an awesome certification to help you get started.

Thank you, you are kind.

Thank you, I will put it on my list and consider making them in the future.

Glad you found it valuable. No problem @CyberBenne

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ouh, I must have used old picture. In my notes for the road map it's correct. Thanks though!

I wouldn't say it's necessary based on time you work in the field. It's just less positions are opened to work fully remotely. With more experience, you have more options. Therefore more position for remote work are available to you. For example, just recently we have hired new SOC analyst without any prior working experience in security. He will be working mostly from home (Once a month visit to office).

@@Cyber-Check wow that sounds amazing , what's your thoughts on getting foot in the door on cyber security? is it crucial to have IT help desk experience for example? I'm coming from construction and plan to do many courses and certificates. will you be considered without any working hours experience in IT even if you have the skills required ?

@@___m16i’m in a similar situation bro coming from civil engineering i’d say that the IT desk experience is not a must. just get the certifications

Yes, absolutely! Actually in our SOC, where the primary SIEM is Microsoft Sentinel, this is the first certification we recommend our analysts to do.

@@Cyber-Check Thanks!

Thank you @tarrycapybara90 I don't think CCNA is necessary if you have Network+. You need networking basics and Network + is more than sufficient. With regards to Azure certifications. AZ-104 before attempting AZ-500, especially if you are new to Azure. Don't worry though. There is overlap. AZ-104 goes into security as well and you will use this knowledge in AZ-500 as well.

Hello Tonny, first of all congratulations on finishing masters in Information Security! That's awesome! I have personally finished my master's degree while working as well and it's not easy task. I completely understand your dilemma. Honestly I would leverage your current role and jumped into senior position in cloud security. I think your best shot, given your knowledge and expertise is DevSecOps. Single certification is plenty and rather focus on hands on projects. There are plenty of opportunities when it comes to DevSecOps. First though, look into the job descriptions for such role, if it's something that would be interesting to you. This role has different seniority with DevSecOps principal architects earning up to 300 000$ a Year.

@@Cyber-Check Thank you for the reply. This is extremely helpful 🙏

You're very welcome!

I agree that CCNA and F5 certifications indeed offer more specialized knowledge and open doors to higher-level positions, but foundational certifications like A+ can still be valuable. It's much harder to prepare for CCNA compare to Network +. Personally CCNA was my first certification, but it's not very beginner friendly, if you are just starting with certs. There cons and pros. Depends how you look at it.

For someone aiming to enter the field of security, the SC-900 certification is more relevant as it focuses specifically on security, compliance, and identity fundamentals in Microsoft environments. This said, you need to understand the general cloud concepts regardless of your role in Cloud. You need to be familiar with the technologies and services that underpin cloud platforms, as this foundational knowledge is crucial for implementing and managing security effectively.

@@Cyber-CheckI’m going to do AZ-900 and then AZ-104 then -AZ-500.

Awesome! I would love to visit Venezuela one day! <3

Glad it was helpful!

What job position are you striving for? The certification will depend from person to person. Do you have any previous experience or certifications?

@@Cyber-Check No, I don't have any previous experience. I took some computer courses in my undergrad like python, cybersecurity and cyber forensics. I've done some certs from cisco and I've completed ISC2's CC. The position I'm striving for is security engineer.

Hello and sorry for the delay. First of all don't worry about comptia Security plus too much. Important is that you have the knowledge for the interview. You could also mention it, that you are studying comptia security plus certification. I didn't have the certification either, when I've started in cyber. With regards to AWS. It's still the most popular cloud provider. This said, if you have never worked in IT, it will be very difficult to get into cloud security. It's not exactly entry level job position. Still it's not impossible. You just want to stack as many "cards" on your side. If you don't have previous IT skills, definitely spend a lot of time connecting with professionals on LinkedIn and do a lot of projects related to cloud security. Your best shot is through referral

Hello, I'm glad you love the ideas. If you have any problems with the course let me know :) I'll try to help as much as I can

That's true! Professional experience and your drive goes far.

I will put it on my list. Thank you for suggestion.

It will depend, if you have any prior knowledge, for example from other certifications. I would say between 1 - 2 months, if you dedicate 2 hours a day. In that time you could do everything mentioned. The recommended way would be. Do Microsoft Learn > make notes > put your skill at test with hands one labs and KQL labs > make notes > do practice tests > find out your weak spots > improve by going back to your notes and expanding on them. Many Microsoft Learn materials have link to documentations. Remember, you have access during the exam to this documentation. You will find additional information and it's very beneficial to spend some time reading it. It will come handy during exam as you will be more likely to find given information during exam.

Thank you, good luck on your journey!

Yes. Definitely. In our company we have 2 people focusing specially on cloud security compliance. Specifically study NIS2. AI and Security will be another huge topic when it comes to compliance. If you start looking into this problematic, you could be ahead of other people.

@@Cyber-Check thank s for your reply,I'm starting with GRC after net+ and sec+ comptia certification..

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you like it!

Microsoft stop offering free vouchers to take the exam. At the moment you can take advantage of 50% discount with cloud skills challenge. I will leave link below. developer.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/30-days-to-learn-it

It will depend how far are you with the knowledge. For the Linux, Python, Cloud part, picking just one is fine. For security I would do more of them :)

@@Cyber-Check thank you very much!!

Huge pros for the Terraform certifications. It's one of the few, where you have actual hands on. That means people can't just cramp for the exam or learn from dumps, which is huge problem for certification industry. People have the certifications, but they lack the experience and skills to apply them. That's why I'm huge fan of projects. Terraform certification is very different in that regards. I really love it! Good luck on your journey!

You are welcomed. Thank you for watching ❤

CompTIA A+ certification focuses on foundational IT skills including hardware, software, networking and troubleshooting. It's suitable for entry-level IT professionals. CCNA certification, on the other hand, specifically emphasizes Cisco networking technologies, configurations and protocols, providing a deeper understanding of networking concepts. While CompTIA A+ covers a broad spectrum of IT fundamentals applicable across different vendors, CCNA specializes in Cisco networking products and solutions. Ultimately, CompTIA A+ serves as a general IT certification, whereas CCNA is tailored for individuals seeking expertise in Cisco networking technologies.

Glad you liked it!

I think 8 months is very reasonable if you put your effort into it. It will always depend how much time you are willing to spend on learning.

I think the problem with this comparison is they aren’t apples to apples. The first CompTIA cert you get is always going to be the hardest and take more time until you learn the study program you need to ace their exams quickly. Same goes for MS Azure certs. And if you wait until the end to start actually learning code and how to build stuff in the cloud, that will be an entirely different learning curve as well as it’s completely unlike studying for exams. Still, I 100% agree you should put as much time as you can into studying and practicing these things at the expense of everything else, including having an actual IT job. That will slow you down immensely and narrow your focus needlessly when you could b learning rapidly absorbing all kinds of new stuff like this. I’d say more realistically a year and a half assuming you can avoid having to get a full time professional job to support yourself in the meantime. You will have plenty of time to worry about how to meet deadlines, manage stress, and keep everyone else happy for the rest of your career. Get the foundation right will you still have the freedom to do so.

Hello, if you need any help try to join discord channel. I can advice you there. :)

This will depend if you are trying to send the audit logs from storage accounts. In the case you priced for every GB of data. More storage accounts = more transactions = more logs = bigger price for ingested data.

You could get inspired from following workshops related to AWS and security awssecworkshops.com/workshops/

I love you!

It will very much depend on the country and company. I mean...if you worked for Nvidia couple of years and got some stocks, you are doing alright. 😁 unusualwhales.com/news/nvidias-nvda-employees-are-suddenly-so-rich-and-happy-that-the-companys-got-a-semi-retirement-problem

@@Cyber-Check that’s very cool. They’re lucky! I was just joking around because, in the United States at least, a 3 figure salary isn’t something that would attract anyone. That’s saying you would make less than a thousand U.S. dollars a year.

Hello, I would start doing some hands on projects. The best thing would be solving some real live problems some small business is facing and put that on your CV.
