Great tips for all aspiring Sec professionals. Thank you 😊.

Damn... straight to the point. Respect my guy

Zero fluff and extremely informative. Thank you for this video and I look forward to seeing more.

Jeff, thank you very much for taking the utter mystery out of getting into Cybersecurity, and not only that, but presenting the facts in a fun, straightforward way! Have already been enjoying the Coursera IBM Cybersecurity course -- great work, all of you!

Fantastic short and sweet overview 👏🏻 Cheers🎉

Neat an clean guide. Thanks mate!

Love his delivery!

I think this video is the best I've seen, amazing - narrative was very specific to the point , very much motivating...Thanks Jeff

Straghtforward. To the point. Love it. Thank you.

Great and honest information! Thank you👍💯

Thank you sir! Very informative! Good luck to everyone!

Ever since I started my IT journey, I’ve wanted to be a cybersecurity professional. I’ve been taking my first steps these last few months.

I very much appreciate an easy to digest video that breaks things down in way such as this. Currently working on my google cyber certification and then will likely take the security+ exam. Super excited. I’m eager to learn!

This is too far the best systematically explained video on how to start your career in cybersecurity. thank you!!!

I have my security+ and I'm working on gaining a year of experience as a Service Desk Analyst which I am 6 months in. Thank you for this video because I huge part of trying to build a cybersecurity career path feels like demystifying the fog of knowledge.

This is really helpful. Well done

Nice update! Thanks.

Clever money animation in the beginning. My 1st time hearing about Cyberseek as well.

True. I’ve been looking into mostly the government locations near my home that are local.

Currently at my community college dual majoring CS and cyber security. I'm very excited for the future.

Thank you so much. This is really helpful and informative. I’m going to start my cybersecurity journey start this evening.

Thank you for giving us a clear and concise explanation.

Thank you man, your really showing that you enjoy the field and enjoy introducing new comers to it. 😁

Very good information and specifics. This has helped me a lot!

it is such simple direct videos that earn a subscribe. thank you

Great and honest information. I wish there were an avenue for CISSP associate or ISC2 associate to have to have more real job opportunities. I will look more into the IBM cert since IBM has by far the best teaching resources

Thankyou so much for this incredible video. Still learning and seeking for entry level, I will see this comment after 5 yrs from now

Thank you so much for this information

Thank you for this video. This is helpful

Thank you sir for explaining everything.

I wish I had such a clarity 10 years ago

Excellent presentation Jeff, as always

OMG, this is GOLD! Thank you so much.

I just found out that on career page of IBM ,minimum experience required is 2 years .

Nice video, was so helpful for me. Im 20 years old and after my security carrer

Thank you very much sir for the great insight. i have take some introductory courses on cybersecurity but what worries me most is the fact that i lack the technical skills and so i began a research for free online cybersecurity internships to gain that exposure but that too has proven futile. Please can you help find such internship programmes that are currently available.

Well Explained.

CERT is not free. $65/month in Canada ($50 in U.S) and 750K jobs is not true. it's 110K

thanks for sharing cyberseek. good resource.

7 years working in cybersecurity and I love it. Ceh, sec+, cisa, and now working on cissp

I got a Diploma in IT and I still interested to get into cybersecurity field.

I am currently enrolled for an Bsc in IT majoring in Systems Administration.I am actually considering getting into cybersecurity thank you for the clarity.

2 years in trying to break into cybersecurity, and all I can say is that free or low-budget options don't get you anywhere near worth considering for entry level jobs (sadly) - I find the entry level certs and self-learners are frowned upon here in the UK.

In school at WGU for cybersecurity while working full time. Got I think 3 more years to go but hopefully it pays off well.

Started on my journey last September. My first certification was the CompTIA ITF+, now I’m working on my Sec+. My exam is in 3 weeks! Wish me luck 🍀

Please make a video like this but about Artificial Intelligence

Thank you for sharing

I've got a lot of people who don't believe I'll make it in the cyber security space. But I'm going to be there one day.

Dear, Thanks for a very informative and a comprehensive Video. My question or may be request is to guide the Cyber Security carrier on the basis of PhD in Cyber Security. It would be great if we get a similar video with details of paths, challenges and opportunities after PhD in Cyber Security.

Great video. I’m in the UK and would love to retrain!!

In the UK, we have an increased number of Master's Students MSc Levels aged over 40 Years old studying CyberSecurity and Digital Forensics; it's a one-year university degree that usually includes CyberSecurity Programming "Python", Malware Analysis, Digital Forensics, Penetration Testing, Cybersecurity Operation Center, Final Project, etc. And in my opinion, it's the best way to understand Cybersecurity in depth to get a promising paid Career in this field💰💰💰💰. And sure, with some training to use a specific tool.

Could you also do similar video for cloud infra and dev ops? many thanks.

Thank you!

Good job done Boss

Interesting narratives

How much of a threat is security copilot and other forms of AI programs for these roles?

With the CISSP employers will accept an Associate, in lieu of having 5 years of experience, and just let you work the 4 to 5 years there for the full certification.

Wow, this video was really insightful, especially the part about potential career paths in cybersecurity. I've also covered a similar topic on my channel, and it's great to see other creators sharing valuable information on this subject. Keep up the great work!

I been flowing through my basic certs lately. Hopefully I make it so I can quit the military

Glad I came across this, Jeff. I also sat the CISSP, long ago-250 questions-4 hours. It has since expired. Have MS\Information Assurance, now Cybersecurity at U. Dallas, but am not in that field right now. When you get a chance please, what do suggest as a path to transition in that direction?

great job🎉

To make it more clear plain give example from I am, end point etc like I log on to you tube and pull or ask for clips

Is my prof writing it all in reverse? Damn thats dedication to teaching, profession of his liking! Big respect

Thank you! What system do you use to write on the screen. Looks great!

Very good!

Need one about Machine Learning , please

Thanks

Awesome video sir, it is very helpful video sir. I have experience in networking field for 1 and half year. Rest of 6 years I have experience in tech support worked for Verizon client, Adobe client, Samsung. Now I am doing my masters in cybersecurity. Could you please guide me to built my carrier In cybersecurity please?

Make videos on career opportunities in AI and how to learn

Where can I enroll for an online courses?

I’m not planning on getting a BS degree, would you say this is lucrative for someone trying to get Into the field?

Are there opportunities for freshers?

Tbh i have been continuously applying for cyber security entry level job including IBM however I'm not getting response back, Even I'm working IT management with Leadership experience Almost 2+ years work experience i have cleared Ceh, security+,SIEM, but it's hard to get job in cyber security domain as it's not entry level job tho...

i wish to have a career in Cyber Security, where can i have certification or the education

Awesome!

I have no experience in cybersecurity Should I join the course and learn ?

Thank u

what about those who are pursuing a masters in cybersecrutiy?

I love all of the positivity in these comments! I wish you all beginners the best, I know you all can do it!

IBM Such a great organization

only thing i should do is learning cs

Still very hard with the creds. I have s+, associates, CC, and 4 years in IT and have no idea what to apply for. Everything in CS wants someone with 4 years of security experience.

I have two questions on the subject: 1- In 10 years, can AIs replace or take over many vacancies in cybersecurity? 2- Do you think doing comptia+, NDE, DFE, cloud+ would already be enough certifications to enter the market as a junior? what salary to expect?

how are you writing those texts backwards from your side, so we can see it properly from our side?

I just recently got the IBM cert. I hope it helps.

How can I begin?

This is very helpful, but I am a little confused about the credentials... You required experience to get the credentials but you need the creds to get a job in the cyber security field?

certifications through Coursera are no longer free!! Going through them now!

Cyber security is one of the most difficult jobs, that's why very few people are able to do this.

What would one be doing whilst getting the credentials? As in for experience, would we need to find some job in the field that is related to cyber security and once we have at least security + then we can start looking at the entry jobs on cyberseek?

VERY INTRIGUING👓👔

Boss l need more videos please .

hold up .. comptia security + can be taken with out experience ( and proof), its an entry level cert.

How many of those 750k cybersecurity jobs are working from home? That’s the real question

I am totally newbie into tech world ,I am interested in Backed, Cyber security and AI It's really hard to consider which one I really want to work.

Healthy professional network and hands on experience + certs/degrees in 2024 and beyond. Diversify your options!

I have some questions if anyone cares to answer. I used to work as a Web Scraper (10 months), learned a little bit of programming, mainly JavaScript, then started learning some QA, and now I recently started a course on Udemy called "The Complete Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) course ISC2 '23". I have very little experience working and from reading requirements on job posts, I'm kinda losing hope a little bit in this Cybersecurity stuff cause it seems that people really need to know a lot of things in order to land a job in this field, like they sort of need to be a jack of all trades. I wonder if it's worth it to spend time learning about this or if I should just focus on QA as it it way more straightforward. Like my main concern is that this single course won't be able to compress all the knowledge I need in order to land an entry level job in Cybersecurity, whereas QA doesn't really force you to study other things, except for maybe a programming language at a basic level if you're going for Automation, which is again, pretty straightforward as they'll just specify what language and what program they will be using at the job.

Thanks for the info. However, I have a question .... Security+ needs 2 yrs experience to get the cert, as an entry level where do you get the 2 yrs from considering one is very green/straight from undergraduate?.

thank you sir
