I got BTL1 last year and am currently going through CCD by CyberDefenders. It has taught me a lot of things I didn't learn in BTL. Honestly, I think BTL1 is overrated compared to CCD or even CDSA.
Great video! I appreciate that you took the time to look at each person's background to provide context behind their suggestions. I completely agree with you that it's not impossible to land greater than an "entry level" role as your first job in cybersecurity, but you do have to be creative and put in the WORK to prove yourself.
Thank you, I mentioned that it might be closer to the core/center because its helpful/expected to be prerequisite knowledge in general (networking, cloud, IT Systems being optimal prerequisites). Or at the least, you would be more effective and optimized if you have the pre-requisite knowledge of the other IT practices.
I was hoping to like and subscribe but after just 3 minutes of viewing you've successfully alienated me with the annoyingly choppy editing and crazy playback speed. It's like you've put this together with AI. Not sure what you're trying to achieve here but I'm not sticking around to find out .
Its been 2 years now.has the situation changed,based on my knowledge CS degree core subjects and skills are part of a well rounded cybersecurity degee with only a few changes
I’m trying to get into GRC. It sounds like the perfect entry level point into cybersecurity even better than help desk. I’m surprised more people don’t talk about it.
I'm about to break into security coming from help desk and based on what I'm being asked to do and the things I'm learning, this video is quite accurate. I obviously can say how accurate it is as I'm just starting. I'll say this tho, physical exercise after a stressful day will really alleviate a great deal of stress. Even more so if it can be both social and physical, like BJJ.
Who is talking down on comptia? (outside of complaining about doing certs coursework/study material). They are industry standard as they focus on the concepts and not on vendor specific products. Comptia certs do not make someone an expert and i would hope that most technical people realize that.
This is why I believe starting in a helpdesk role that provides access to a wide range of systems and issues is essential. It helps you become familiar with the various aspects he's discussing. During my time as a helpdesk analyst, whether at levels 2 or 3, or as a helpdesk manager, I performed all the tasks he's mentioned. This experience prepared me for a role in cyber and now further.
Could you make a video about how different certifications you did hold up in your career now? Like how much knowledge from those certs are actually applicable to your day to day work
It would be great to know how you manage to study for more certifications or skillsets you need while working 8-5, whether it’s remote or not. Those be some great tips that I am sure would benefit many.
As a threat intelligence engineer you need some form of education. Mostly bachelors. Threat intel can be broken into so many areas but a good experience with SQL, Python, Research(I mean going out there to look for TA and TTP) and SIEM or EDR tools would come a long way. Remember guys you dont need a degree but keep in mind you are going up agains people with masters or bachelors in computer science and months of internships. I can't tell you how to even the playing ground but just keep that in mind
