After finishing college in IT with my focus in cybersecurity, I feel like I didn’t really learn much for real world use so im excited to actually learn something that I can use

I'm a former law enforcement investigator and military veteran. After 20 years, I'm trying to move into a new career in cyber security. I'm really interested in the defensive security and SOC management processes portions of this training. With my investigative and analytical background, and familiarity w/software development, cyber security is a way I can continue to help protect people from bad actors. This would be a real dream certification for me! I've been a Kali Linux(formerly "backtrack") user on and off for a decade, and Kali was created and maintained by OffSec. For that reason, I have great respect for OffSec's certifications.

As someone that is transitioning into cybersecurity without any previous experiences, I have to say that online courses like springboard and ISC2 were very instrumental in helping me ease into the world of cybersecurity knowledge wise. The OffSec OSCC Certification Course will be an absolute game changer as it will provide me with the technical tools to help me with my career as a SOC Analyst.

This seems like a really well fleshed out entry level course. Like you said, that fact that you get hands on experience with so many practical exercises and with exposure to multiple different facets of cybersecurity; it will really help newbies (like me) figure out which area of cybersecurity they should pursue after this cert. This is pretty baller. I previously did Network+ and the biggest drawback I saw was the fact that you end up with all this theoretical knowledge and no hands on experience. I really find that doing practical exercises in conjunction with theory really helps cement things.

One thing I can say for sure is that OffSec certifications are well recognized in the cybersecurity industry. I can't wait for the giveaway and Congratualtions for the 100k Subs🥳🥳🥳

Since I started this cybersecurity journey I have learned many things that I would not have imagined I would learn, so what I am most excited about is deepening my knowledge and broadening my skills

Hi Sandra, congrats on getting over 100k subs. The way I see it, the most unique and exciting module of the OSCC would be ICS/OT. Infrastructure and ICS needs more visibility in public perception and as an option for those wanting to become security professionals. Crowdstrike's dereference fault was bad enough, but highly visible, and so far the OSCC is the only introductory cert I know of that does more than merely define ICS. Gen 3+ and on SMRs for portability, scalability, and as decentralized points of failure are the most reasonable path forward for energy security. We're going to need specialists to ensure they're not susceptible to the next Stuxnet, for sustainable and dependable energy surplus for hydroponics, water filtration, and carbon-capture tech.

I think this is the best beginner cybersecurity certification one can get from the one and only Offensive Security. I really like the idea that it is not focused on any single path, instead it provides hands on knowledge for all related topics. I personally like to explore the Offensive side as well as the GRC part of this course.🤞

I think the thing I like most about this cert is the hands on portion. Many exams like Sec+ focus on theory so being able to actually work with a real device is really nice.

I have gone through the course syllabus, and I can say it is awesome because it includes cloud computing, AI, malware analysis, and more. I can't wait for the giveaway. All the best to everyone

i am currently doing my bachelors in cybersecurity and I have found that the university curriculum doesn't give you that much hands on practise ( as I would like ) plus its very general. i am most excited about learning both red and blue team concepts, I think its such a HUGE win if you can get knowledge with hands on practise of BOTH teams via one certification , and that I'll be learning info that will actually be useful for me in the industry

As someone who is transitioning from being in IT for a decade to a more cybersecurity focused career, I am very interested in learning more about how the different offensive and defensive skillset overlap from the eyes of OffSec. I’m not entirely sure what I want to be when I grow up, so I feel this course would definitely be helpful! Great video, Sandra!

I am very excited to learn about the foundation of pentesting and malware analysis as well as the basics of the blue team

i wanted to study cyber security from the age of 10. but i didnt had any resources. now i have a laptop .so i can study my dream career. im a computer science student and i really want to build my resume.this course will be helpfull for both my resume and my career.financially i dont have any money to buy this course.. i dont know if i will get this prize but i want to thankyou sandra for this wonderfull opportunity on behalf of everyone

i’ve been working in the tech field over the last 10 years or so. started my journey to swap over to the cybersecurity field. originally planned to go to WGU but this course seems like a potential better bang for buck especially with the hands on labs.

I'm transitioning into cybersecurity. I've built a home lab and I've been following along in books. Most of what I know is self-taught, and I was looking for a video that would suggest a certification that focused on the hands-on and not just theory and multiple choice questions. I wanted something that teaches an actual skillset. Red teaming is where my current interests lie, but that may change as I learn more about other aspects of cybersecurity. Thank you for your content. I was impressed by how in-depth this certification is.

Really informative video🙌. I just passed my security+ 1 week ago but honestly I felt that I didn't add much because of non-practical experience. Really excited to take it, this course would help me too much to enhance my defensive skills to become a cyber analyst then go for higher roles in future.

I think the price is expensive, but the content is great. Having relevant knowledge, even if it's not too deep, about every field is a good thing because it can help provide a different perspective, like understanding how SOC works if I'm doing red team activities

I studied Industrial Engineering in college, but I've always worked in tech. Being in tech, I've noticed how vulnerable we all are to cyber threats specially with radio comms. I'm excited to learn about the ins and outs of cyber sec and how we can be better prepared to handle such threats.

that's the first yt channel that is reviewing on Offsec Cyber Core Certified certification. Thats the best review by the way

What I love about the OSCC is that it's designed specifically for people who are new to the field, made by the masters. As someone graduating college, it would be a great opportunity!

I'm currently enrolled in WGU and im 3/4 completed in my cybersecurity degree. I'm now looking into getting real world experience and this aligns perfectly into what I'm searching for. What excits me about this course is the Python and PowerShell Scripting Fundamentals along the Networking Fundamentals. I've heard these are very important skills to have in your arsenal for pentesting.

Im really interest in getting more knowledge of the red team and understand exactly what is in store for me if a follow that path. I just finished the google cybersecurity certification and I liked it but I felt like it was very broad and some topics felt like I was just getting an overview instead of actually learning skills that I could use in future. I believe this course could be a step in the right direction for me.

As a young student passionate about cybersecurity, I’m incredibly eager to take the OSCC course. The chance to dive into this field and gain essential skills and knowledge is so exciting, especially without financial worries. I’m looking forward to learning how to protect data, tackle security challenges, and help make the digital world safer. This course could be a game-changer for me, and I can't wait to see how much it will help me grow. Thankyou for the honest review😊

Hi Sandra I have been in the IT world for over 15 years and have always been passionate about cybersecurity. I am self-taught and I use all the resources I can find to get into this field. This course is for me because it covers the read and the blue team side and is the ticket for getting the foot in the door for a cybersec job.

As a newbie trying to enter into Cybersecurity i haven't seen enough beginner courses that have high quality, hands-on labs compared to just written theory. That is what i'm most excited for

After retiring in 2020, which included a 15 year (1992-2007) chapter in IT as a Network-System admin, I’m ready to re-enter the industry as a security professional. The OSCC seems to be the right way to enter this specific domain. Great content. Very informative. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge.

As an analyst on the blue team I have always been interested in the red teaming but felt intimidated by the OSCP due to my lack of background in pen testing and technical skills. What I am most excited about is how available this course is, its depth, and its. Potential for impact on specializing my career. I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating this video as I would have never become aware of this great opportunity!

As someone who just finished the Google Cybersecurity Program, I seen the course offers a lot of hands on labs which is the most important in my opinion in cyber. I would love a chance to receive this course and further enhance my knowledge and hands on work!

Transitioning into a new career is difficult. And it’s hard to get hands on experience. This course would be a huge opportunity for anyone new to the field. With courses/bootcamps being so expensive, this seems like an amazing alternative. I’m excited that it also touches on all roles to help figure out what you actually want to do.

This is shocking how jam packed this course's content has. I feel this is outside the offensive pentesting content OffSec offers. The price I think an be lowered but due to all of the practice and knowledge I would be moved to get this based on Security of Embedded Systems, vulnerability management, and cloud information this includes. This is coming from someone who has an information security role currently. Thanks for sharing Sandra!

It's fantastic that you're taking this on! I've already completed a CC certification in Cyber Security (ISC2), but it primarily covers theoretical aspects. I'm particularly eager to dive into blue teaming through this certification (OSCC), which offers technical labs🤩 that will significantly improve my knowledge and enhance my career. I’m currently working on red team and looking for a best certification to go ahead in the industry 😊 Thank you Sandra for the opportunity ❤

I'm a junior with a keen interest in expanding my knowledge and skills. I'm most excited to learn about scripting as I believe it will significantly enhance my understanding and capabilities in this field. I'm eager to dive into the practical aspects and gain hands-on experience that will help me grow both personally and professionally.

Having just graduated college with a degree in IT and a concentration in cybersecurity management and analytics, I hope to begin learning more about the technical side of cybersecurity. OSCC seems like such a great start to both offensive and defensive security technical concepts and techniques. I look forward to learning as much as possible and this course is a good way to get an idea of the concepts I would like to further learn in the future.

As someone who recently transitioned into IT and is now thinking about transitioning into cyber security, I think the best thing I can get out of this course is getting exposure to the different paths and identifying the path that most interests me.

I have been working on computers since I was 12 years old, And now being able to learn more on cyber security since i am going to pursue a degree in Cyber Security, learning and getting these certifications is like taking a step closer to hitting my milestone! I Hope I can learn and help people with my skills!

Great news that OffSec has released this new course. I work as a level 2 help desk at my current job. I have a few certs and was looking to start studying for OSCP. After hearing about this course my game plan now is to start with the OSCC. I am looking forward to learning both red and blue team information.

As an undergraduate student aiming to pass the OSCP exam, I need a solid understanding of Windows and Linux OS, networking concepts, and Python scripting fundamentals. The OSCC course, developed by OFFSEC, covers all these topics and will strengthen my foundational cybersecurity knowledge. It serves as a milestone for students like me, who rely heavily on parental support, to kickstart a career in cybersecurity. I am eager to learn as much as I can in this field and contribute to digital safety and privacy in the near future.

As someone attending the BlueTeam SOC Analyst Course from HTB, I find this course perfect for becoming a better defender and broadening my cybersecurity knowledge, thus making me a better cybersecurity professional. Thank you for this opportunity, Sanda!

I love OffSec, and I can't wait to study their new course. They provide comprehensive training and are highly recognized by everyone. I can't wait to be one of the first people to earn the OSCC certificate.

Having recently passed the Security+ exam, I am particularly excited about the module on offensive security, which promises to deepen my understanding of proactive defense strategies. The hands-on labs included in the course will provide me with invaluable practical experience. Thank you for offering this certification opportunity to your subscribers!

I've been in IT for over 20 years but not as in depth as this. I definitely feel that I would benefit from this course. I'm 43 and I'm at a crossroads in my IT career and Cybersecurity seems like a good area to jump into. So this would be a great step up. I graduated with an associates in networking but I've lost so much knowledge over the years. It would be nice to go over the networking fundamental. The Windows and Linux Basics would be a great refresher. Especially the Linux Basics. I'm very interested in gaining an in depth understanding in Cybersecurity and what role would suit me best.

I had planned to buy the OSCC course since I first saw its release. OffSec is well-recognized and known for providing comprehensive and useful training for my future career. However, the existing courses seemed too challenging for me, so I think the OSCC suits me well ☺️

Hello everyone! The OSCC course looks great and I really like that it covers hands-on skills that serve as a solid foundation for multiple domains within cybersecurity. What excites me most about OSCC is that it approaches entry-level cybersecurity from all sides, and I think this is what makes it unique. I am intrigued by the full course but what interests me most would be scripting, cryptography, and malware analysis, but this really hits everything, and given the ubiquitous and interconnected nature of the current technological landscape, it seems essential to have an understanding of all these concepts. I am currently trying to land my first professional role in the field as a SOC Analyst, and understanding security beyond just Defensive has really helped me develop a solid foundation, but having comprehensive hands-on experience with all domains would definitely provide an edge! This is a really great video and opportunity, thank you for sharing Sandra!

as someone who is not yet qualified in Cybersecurity, I'm excited for learning the practical skills, such as Powershell and Phyton scripting essential as it will help in automating tasks, not only in security but also my current role in IT sysadmin.

I’ll be most excited to learn about blue team techniques. With my experience in helpdesk and network design as well, catching bad guys and pesky pentesters red-handed is something I relish and I believe the OSCC will get me well on my way!

I think the most excited part to learn is in offensive section which cover the cloud fundamentals, because nowadays cloud usage is very criticals and if we can secure the cloud it will beneficial to our organization.

I am most excited to learn linux, Python scripting and powershell. The fact that this course teaches those skills as well is amazing. I would to love have those skills on my resume as well as breaking into cybersecurity with this course.

I'm excited for this opportunity, thanks Sandra for sharing! This certification will provide a comprehensive learning path for careers in Cyber Security. I'm interested into defensive security and GRC.

I was passionate about IT and found Cybersecurity to be the best reason to persue a degree in IT. After growing my interest in cybersecurity, I started gaining some basic knowledge, and I am extremely excited to deep dive into the field. The OffSec OSCC Certification Course will be my guiding light to excel the field. I am extremely excited about the Software Engineering Security part of the course as it will boost my career to next level. Learning from the OffSec SOCC Certification Course will help me a lot to gain hands-on experience in the field of Cybersecurity which will help me grow in the field. Would be really thankful for the course.

What I am most excited about is the HANDS ON experience from these labs, I think it’s so important.

I guess embedded and industrial systems are useful because not many courses offer such topics. It might be great to add them as a skill.

As a recent graduate, I’m eager to build a strong foundation and enhance my skills in cybersecurity. This course seems like a fantastic opportunity to achieve that. Thanks You

Thanks for sharing this. I've been looking to make a pivot towards cybersecurity for some time. Studying from 9pm-2am PST (as I write this at 1am taking a brief break hah) almost every day. My daughter recently turned 4, and the growing trend of technologies making it easier for threats to access information and take over identities has me wanting to do something that can help protect her and others of the next gen's future. I've been trying to soak up what I can since end of last year when I decided to be proactive myself and acquire some certs and get any practical knowledge I can with my own setup and environment. Rant over, just feeling impassioned by this video and the info it offers. That said, proactive defense peaks my interest. As the saying goes, "the best defense is a good offense". The fact that it is so all encompassing and by the organization it's by is ultimately the biggest win but I feel like proactive defense very well sums up how I view the program. Thanks again, the program seems amazing, especially after going to the site to take a deeper look.

I would love to do this course, as i have no hands-on experience when it comes to cybersecurity and im trying to get into the field, this course seems amazing and feel like it would help me learn skills I need to get into the field! 🥺🙌🏻

I am based in Central Africa and no Institution is offering such a rich program , currently shifting to Information Security and OSCP is the way compared to Security + which I thought was the best . I have vested interest in Scripting, Python, Operating System, Offensive, Defensive and any other information shared in the full OSCC SEC-100.

Just completed my bachelors in cybersecurity, looking forward to getting a beginner friendly certification on my resume to kickoff my job search. This beginner level course would be a great showcase of the skills.

Honestly, thrilled that I get to work on labs in parallel to the course.😀 Scripting , Network fundamentals, Defense Evasion, Cloud Fundamentals-Architechture, and NIST Security framework fundamentals. Its not everyday, we get an opportunity to learn these concepts properly. With the current job postings, i feels like these keywords are used quite often. So, its a great benefit as I maybe able to understand recruiter's requirement list as well.😅 Especially as a beginner, this is such a blessing. Just as your rightly summarised, its like a proper overview of the Cybersecurity Red and Blue teaming!

What excites me the most about the OSCC course is learning about the newest methods and resources for offensive and defensive security. It is really exciting to think of further rooting into complex SOC fundamentals, advanced penetration testing procedures, and comprehending the most recent vulnerabilities and their remedies in different systems. Having this information about what, how and where to look and proceed will help me stay ahead of the constantly changing cybersecurity scene in addition to improving my capacity to recognize and make up for security solutions.

Thank you Sandra. I'm excited to learn about the blue teaming and GRC skills in the course! Also, congrats on 100k subs!

Hello , As a cybersecurity student I always wanted to putt my hands on labs and see how real world cyber threats works , am super interested in endpoint security , digital forensics and incident response , this certification will be my best option in this summer vacation .

As, I am an undergraduate student, my goal is to pass the OSCP Exam. For that I should have good knowledge of Windows and Linux OS, Networking Concept, python scripting Fundamentals etc. And OSCC cover all of these topics and best thing is that this course is prepared by OFFSEC. This OSCC course will help me to prepare for OSCP and make my foundational cybersecurity concept stronger. It will work as a milestone for student like me to kick start career on Cybersecurity who heavily dependent on parents for everything. I want to learn Cybersecurity as much as I can and wants to contribute for the safety and privacy of people in this digital world in near future.

An opportunity to take this course would be life-changing because of the simple fact that it covers so much fundamentally. I’ve been find out that getting an entry level job not easy and this course would help that and also define the role I think I want to be in which is blue team. With the hands-on training and projects to include to a a resume is HUGE. Even if I don’t win the giveaway it is a course I will seriously consider!

Came across your channel recently and I really like the content, I started my cyber journey last year at a bootcamp in my small country Barbados and it's been an absolute life changer. I'm being pushed to learn red teaming and I'm feeling out to sea, so was looking to start pushing for OSCP within the 3rd quarter of next year, but I think this will be a great starter before I push into the deep end.

i am very excited to learn about this OSCC certification, especially the penetration testing part. I hope I can land a job with this certification

A friend of mine was looking for an overview for the OSCC Course and surprisingly I came across the video and I have further shared the video with him. Thank you so much for the video 👍😇

I am most excited to try the OSCC, as it seems to match my needs perfectly. As a junior Purple Team member, this course appears to cover everything I need to advance my skills.

As a first year undergrad studying IT and Cybersecurity, this course would introduce and help me grasp fundamentals like Python Scripting, Cryptography, Data transformation and Cybersecurity Frameworks.

As an entry level SOC analyst, I am equally excited to learn about offensive security & OT. Having an understanding of how attackers gather intel, pick specific targets and evade defensive tools will definitely help me in journey to becoming a better SOC analyst. Along with this, because of the nature of my job dealing with cruise ships etc, learning about OT & embedded systems will allow me to gain fundamental skills for a possible OT security or IT/OT analyst position.

As someone who is starting the carreer of cybersec, i still dont know to what field focus, so i think this course is great for getting an overview about about the specializations and to decide wisely, great video

I think what I would be most excited about is the Software Engineering Security part of the course. As a Web Dev, Software and Web security are really important and has become more needed in my company as the projects become more complex and we shift our projects over to cloud. This course is definitely something to look into. Keep up the great work and dont forget to be awesome!

Appreciate the opportunity! After reading through the topics to be covered under the certificate I am most interested in learning 'Data Transformation Fundamentals' since possessing skills to manipulate and analyze data are undeniably invaluable across this industry and others.

I am transitioning into cybersecurity and am really trying to gain as much hands in experience as possible. I’m currently working on sitting for my SEC+ exam and have SOC role lined up soon afterwards, but I’m really wanting some red team experience and definitely enjoying CTF right now, but need more experience. I hope to gain this from this course and see what doors it can open for me.

As a student of a Bachelors of Computer Science specializing in Cyber Security, this cert well be more than beneficial for me :)

My intrest in cyber security started after watching your videos thanks for guiding me and i am most excited to learn course is OSCP..!

Great timing!! Was let go in a different field and have been shifting into Cyber trying to absorb as much as I can. I’m most excited to learn Defense Evasion in the Offensive Security section of this course, though it seems like a perfect introduction all around !

I'm particularly excited about diving into defensive skills. Understanding how to protect systems and networks from cyber threats through strategies like access control, encryption, and secure configurations sounds really fascinating!

Thank you Sandra, I’m fresh in Cybersecurity and OSCP is too difficult for me, I think OSCC will be a good to start.

I'm Very eager to learn the red teaming concepts in OSCC and after that I'll go for the OSCP ...Thanks for giving back to the community ! ❤❤❤

From past 1 week I'm checking about some certifications suddenly your video got in my feed😊 Its very much excited me. so, I entered in giveaway & waiting for this grate opportunity I hope I'll get. Thank you Sandra!🤞

Hey! Thank you! Do you think it’d be worth taking after doing the google cybersec cert? I am currently working on this but am considering many pathways which include other hands on courses.

I love that this certification covers both red and blue team topics. I’m most interested in learning networking, scripting and threat detection. Great video! Thank you so much for the info!

This course will be a huge boost to my career, being unemployed for a year and struggling in the job market this will be a very good opportunity for learning and improving for the digital security standards that are needed. I will keep my whole effort in studying and will be indebted to you if picked. Hoping for the best.🤞

This sounds amazing!! I’m excited to see how they made complex topics and made them entry level!!!

Great vid! I have just started my cybersecurity learning journey and I believe this course might be the one that helps me to decide which branch of cybersecurity I will pursue later on. There are so many pathways that sometimes it's a little bit confusing, so having a course where you can have a feel for every role would be very beneficial to new learners like me.

I am currently a High School teacher and football coach looking to make a career change into the cybersecurity industry. This course would be a great opportunity to make that transition. I would be looking forward to learning all the aspects of cybersecurity and the challenges that come along with it. Thanks for the video!

I have just completed my bachelor's I have never done a cert till today all I have learned till now is from free resources like RU-vid and Coursera edx ec-council I guess it will great for me still it's from offensive security. Excited to get started

Less go!! Very excited to be a part of this. I am an undergrad and really enthusiastic in learning the world of cyber. With the knowledge of fundamentals, it would really help me to build my pillar of success. I have been learning cyber security for about 1 year and this course and certification will really help in the near future. Thanks a lot

I didn't even know about this certification so your video was a very good find for me. I have been trying to determine a pathway into Cyber Security that made sense and always thought that OffSec priced their exams way over what the content was offering. I think this is a great value, thanks for the video. I would be interested to learning about the Defensive side of things in this course.

As someone who is trying to break into the Cybersecurity job market having a strong technical foundation is pivotal. Although other vendors like CompTIA and EC-Council provide the theoretical aspect of Cybersecurity, they do not delve deep into the core hands-on skills that are needed in the job market today. OffSec's OSCC would be a game-changer for me because I can use the theoretical knowledge and actually conduct the attacks, defend against them and also learn how to perform basic auditing for Governance & Compliance. This is what is all provided in the course and because it is very practical I can add those skills to my resume to get that entry-level SOC Analyst/ Jr Penetration Tester role.

Less go!! Very excited to be a part of this, it would really help me to build my pillar of success. I have been learning cyber security for about 1 year and this course and certification will really help in the near future. Thanks a lot

Great video as always, Sandra! I recently got an offer to work as a junior SOC Analyst, and I just want to say your videos really helped me get familiar with these cybersecurity platforms and utilize them to further my education . Before that, I was really confused because there's so much information out there, and it's easy to get off track if you're not careful. As for the OSCC, I'm really interested in the Malware Analysis module.

This course would fill all the gaps in my journey of continuous learning and gaining skills to land my first job. I would be most excited to learn about the offensive security modules and the GRC side of the course. I would take this exam in a heartbeat! Thank you for your insightful videos!

Currently, I'm studying for Sec+, and I would really love to take OSCC because it seams to be a more hands on course.

The GRC you mentioned, is that comperable to unixguy's GRC course you went through in your previous video? I would be most interested in learning how GRC influnces the technical aspects of cybersecurity, both in specific geographical areas and for multi national companies as where I am situated there is not much in the sense of SOC based opertunities.

As a beginner this course will given me the foundational knowledge I need to break into the cybersecurity field. The offensive side of things is part of the course that I am really interested in and looking forward to that experience.

I’m most excited to compare and contrast techniques utilized by Blue team and Red team! Just seeing which role best compliments myself.

Stumbled upon your videos trying to learn more about careers for blue v red team. Haven't kept up to date with recent uploads because not in job phase yet. Been focused on getting CompTia Trifecta so a lot of Messer, Dion, and DFIR. Topics that excite me are cloud fundamentals and social engineering could be interesting as well. I think this comprehensive course/cert would bolster my resume and potentially lead to a career down the line!!! Thank you and Offsec for offering this opportunity.

After completing my college last month I don’t know what to do,I am trying to learn stuff I hope This certification will kick start my career!
