@@nicoleenesse I have an important question on this, I don't have the money to go get a 4 year degree or the time for that really and I'm struggling to find decent 2 year associate degree programs. Where can I go, what can I do to try and get into this. I have some prior experience in networking and telecommunications, and got a comptia A+ cert so I have basic knowledge but what avenue should I take to begin learning this and start within decent time frame even if that is 2 years? I would greatly appreciate any advice.

@dcullum8471 3 года назад

Being able to compromise is key in cyber security. Not everything can be done like what you read in a textbook. Certain controls will break your systems. But you still have to protect them. Finding alternate ways of doing things becomes your entire job.

@christianjavier1776 3 года назад

Great video. Have A+, N+, and sec+. Been in the industry for 8 months. Was planning getting into more of a blue team role. But decided to go for more of a risk management role instead (end game is CISSP). This video helped. Here in Cali, help desk role is $24 (my current rate) I noticed some SOC positions getting less. So, thank you for stating that SOME analysis positions are entry level.

@SuperWubDub 3 года назад

Aye bruh I jus passed my Sec+ and I’m tryna get my foot in the door, I’ve always been a computer geek so I passed this with nothing but a couple Practice tests but I can’t go to college cuz I’m broke as hell so now I’m just trying to figure out what I need to do to eventually be in an analyst role. Do I start out as help desk then just grind my way up or do I try to find volunteer work? Any tips gonna help bro

@christianjavier1776 3 года назад

@@SuperWubDub First off, congrats on getting Sec+, that time and money will be an investment you WILL see. I would recommend applying for the Help Desk role. Think of the Help Desk as a paid internship. You will apply most of what you learned from Sec+ like application hardening, etc. However, if you want to investigate PCAPs then Help Desk is not the place for you. You will need to find out what YOU want to do in infosec. Everything is tied together, however, some people have higher skills in different subjects. To get a job in help desk with no experinece you will need to SELL YOURSELF. Show that you are willing to learn and keep growing. The cert gets you to the interview. It's up to you to nail the interveiw. Best of luck.

Hopefully this will land me a high paying technical job.

@nicoleenesse 3 года назад

AWS is super hot right now and with a cyber background you will be golden. you set yourself up for success!

@GTRNights 3 года назад

The technical jobs are not the ones that pay or have vertical potential. If you just want to be someone's toolmonkey all day you will get nowhere. The real money is in governance and program management along the analyst to CISO track. Top level CISOs make 330k a year. Being a technical role will limit you to the tech you're using, and in the specific role you're using it in. If you're managing the entire program, you're not as limited. So, I would say you're looking at it backward.

@@nicoleenesse my professors are telling me there are no jobs and scaring me. They want me to get a masters when I have 0 experience. I’m struggling financially. I can’t wait until I graduate! Thank you so much for replying back! Do you know the entry level salary with this degree? Sorry to ask I’m just worried

@nicoleenesse 3 года назад

@@deemahamed5202 Oh no!! There are tons of jobs, a masters degree would probably over qualify you for certain jobs. Professors don't really have real world experience. Salary will depend on where you are, but you can definitely make at least 50k as helpdesk or desktop support. 60-80k for a SOC analyst/ cybersecurity analyst

I'm originally from Cleveland OH! Where are you?! Now in VA. ...also VA and MD are neighbors to DC and pay really well. Sadly my company is non-profit so i earn a little less then average. (Who cares!) Got my 1st position after being in Desktop Support for 1.5 years with the same company!! Going on 2 months as of July and Im really enjoying it! Also, be sure to take advantage of SANS courses if your company pays for them. .. Dont mind the interviews to much. I thought mine went horribly. But if they see you have good attitude and work ethic. Who knows!

Learn the basics! Check out the Google IT support certification, to learn infrastructure. Check out Brilliant to learn computer science fundamentals if you are a visual learner. Links are in the description! They are affiliate, but you don't have to use them!!

You note Boston as high competition, but didn't note that Atlanta is home to GaTech, the number one cyber security undergrad program in the country and one of the best grad programs. That area I would expect to be biased towards gatech grads.

4 years as a Professional Security Officer, I'm looking to level up my career in this field.

@ThirstyThurman Год назад

I might be considering a career change in the future. I haven't worked in anything related to this field. I do have avid PC gamer amounts of knowledge about computers so doing something like this, in theory, wouldn't seem too daunting of a change for me. Definitely feel like it would be something I could catch on to. My question is what would be the best direction for me? Is it something a potential career changer would need to consider schooling for? I see people mention getting certificates first and considering schooling afterwards. Is that a viable path for someone in my position? I'm currently a real estate agent so any situation where I'll need to be working people or doing any form of social networking related to this field would be like second nature to me.

For cyber security, do you recommend the google it cert over the IBM cyber security course? I am really not sure which program I need to go with. I can build you a computer from the ground up and install the OS in about an hour. I have basic networking understanding (setting up routers, passwords, firewall type devices). So nothing professional, but I have the drive to learn if I am pointed in the right direction.

@nicoleenesse 2 года назад

I would go with the IBM cybersecurity course then, sounds like you have a good basis of IT fundamentals. Be warned though, the IBM cybersecurity course has a few production issues, but info is good
