The Fundamentals of Cyber Security 

10000%

Is documentation a course too

So working on remembering, recalling, and or maybe analyzing data is needed too; is that what you're saying?

Nice addition!

Can’t say there’s ever been a need or importance although the reason why we should care is because caring provides a layer of security in accordance to respective risk management strategies and promotes proven protections of safety through the better implementation of protocols and procedures as well as applications which helps all of these systems, have a certain confidence in the accountability process of the security of their networks, which can be used for a better understanding or assessment if there ever happens to be a breach of their security systems thought to protect their networks. Therefore allowing for a broader scope of information to allow the cybersecurity practitioner to make better decisions on how and where vulnerabilities may or may not be present as to minimise the risks, with their expertise from a technological standpoint.

Why so? Can you explain which paths this advice is good for and which it is not

Absolutely! Especially if you're a pentester. Coding knowledge definitely comes in handy

6-12 months on average is what I see most people taking to undergo a set of courses towards getting something entry level. The ultimate key to success is work experience

@@dccybersec Projects and Group Projects? And 6-12 months sounds fair. That's enough time if you laser in and have a good consistent schedule.

@@dccybersec Thx!

You are so welcome!

Absolutely man, it depends on what area of cybersecurity you're hoping to get into!

C is easy to learn, but difficult to use

Glad it was helpful!

Definitely a good start!

@dccybersec got an interview next Friday. But to be honest I feel like I don't know anything.

Books for what? How to earn more money before you turn 21?

You're probably looking at the CompTIA CySA+, as well as the Microsoft SZ900 as a base for SOC. For pentesting, the OSCP is the one to go for

@@dccybersec Do you mean Exam SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals? Thank you so much for your suggestion and recommendation

usually within the encryption methods area

Absolutely there is! There are heaps of jobs in Australia

yep

💯

This would be after the IT fundamentals

Focus on a pathway towards a job goal, for example; - Offensive security - Defensive security Have a look at the jobs listed under each of those headings, aim for it, then take a look at what needs to be completed to get there. Worth noting, this is exactly what I help with in our regular guidance/ coaching sessions in learn.saferinternetproject.com

Powershell is great for administering m365 environments but as far as languages go, if you can call powershell a language, python would be my go to for versatility

Yes, definitely! It's never too late to start mate

I’m 31, father of 3 kids, in May I recently was hired as a cybersecurity SOC analyst intern. I don’t have a degree nor certificates. It’s never too late, you just have to show companies you are willing to learn and want to grow in the field. Best of luck

Hell yeh!

No, but it certainly helps a lot! The majority of recruiters in Australia are asking employees seeking a role in cybersecurity to have prior IT experience, for example network engineering, systems administration, even service desk resposibilities

@@dccybersec so if someone opted for vocational education, what would be ur advice from then on ???

Thanks for watching!

haha I like this

Thanks

Hardly. SQL is a technology you'll come across when pentesting websites (sometimes), but it's hardly vital.

Go to www.saferinternetproject.com

It’s enough to get yourself started. If you want experience though, which is the best thing when applying for work, head to www.saferinternetproject.com

Hell yeah!

Can you teach me about cyber security?

Probably not with just that certification. It depends on experience more than anything

@@dccybersec people with experience all started as beginners at one point. So why wont fresher b given a chance to learn and grow!?!

​@@obiomabenneth3256because cybersecurity isn't an entry level job.

@@dccybersec oh wow!! Nw i see why people lie about having some years of experience.

@@dccybersec are u a cyber security analyst??

Cheers mate!

Yes - the best training platform for cybersecurity is www.saferinternetproject.com

Thanks!

CCNA is a great cert

huh?

@@dccybersec I’m referring to the CIA triad of info/cyber sec.

As fundamentals, would you not agree these are fundamental knowledge points?

Social engineering has its own list of requirements to learn or be naturally good at though, like people skills, for example

@@dccybersec i'm talking about "user error" where employees are either opening up and clicking links or going to sketchy websites

No love for programming?

@@dccybersec I just suck at it 😅

lol what?

No problem
