What You Should Learn Before "Cybersecurity" - 2023

[@cybern00b78]

I am a former infantry Marine that transitioned into Cybersecurity. If I can do it, then so can you! Keep watching videos like this and many others out there to help prepare yourself. I personally went to college and received a "former" education in Software Development with a minor in Cybersecurity, however, college is not needed and not for everyone. After I was offered and started my first job in the industry, I was curious as to "why me." What set ME apart from all the others. My boss told me it was because of my labs. I setup home labs (and they were NOTHING crazy) and learned new Operating Systems and new skills. He said after I was done speaking about my home labs, he knew I would be a great fit for the team and not because of what I knew but because I had a drive to learn. In this field you have to want to learn. Once you stop or think you know everything, you fall behind on technology and best practices.

100% on learning computing basics / fundamentals. However many grads and people interested in Cyber Security refuse to learn this and want to go straight into pen testing. As someone who tries to hire juniors, the amount of people not willing to put in the hardwork is mind blowing....

[@eliseifieraru1452]

When I first went to community college I started cyber security because I was just very interested in it. However, I’m not sure why the professor lectured us with so many fascinating stories on how this person got hacked with all these big words while we were learning the fundamentals somewhat. It was supposed to be a fast 6-8 week course so maybe that’s why I couldn’t learn much? But I was so so so confused on the whole subject… I was paying attention, focusing, listening, I mean 19 years of age and no girlfriend and no parties to attend to I was really focused. But that professor made everything more complex than what it actually is, and for that I got so discouraged, couldn’t do any of the homework he would send to us online, and one day he was going off on me due to too many missing assignments. And he would never answer any of my questions which I believe were good questions. Like he would answer it in such a weird “dude I don’t understand what you mean” way. I’m 22 now making some good money on the side and I’m 100% willing to learn the basics and fundamentals over and over and over again to get it intact in my head.

[@JRCGuitarist]

Not sure if the notion of, “Not willing to do the hard work applies if people are wanting to learn cybersecurity”, typically if people get into this stuff they will put the hard work into learning cyber, even if they skip IT. This, if anything, will make their work harder for them, not easier. So, learning IT would make sense if one wanted things to be easier.

[@David_408]

I 100% agree. That’s how I’ve gotten my career started; first in IT and then onto cybersecurity. It’s very tempting to want to jump straight to pwning machines. But a strong foundation of knowledge is critical when dealing with technology.

[@collinsinfosec]

I do agree on both perspectives. I personally think it's better to build a strong base in I.T. - this is one of the first pieces of advice I was given when I was a complete beginner. But it's not the "only advice", there's a lot of different perspectives. From my experiences so far, those who tend to know how to say, subnet or understand how networks function, even at a high level, have an easier time understanding cybersecurity concepts. Is subnetting absolutely required for every single position? No, not all of them. Just using this as an example.

[@BlakeTedKord]

@@collinsinfosec u should do a quick focus with a vid or 2 of troubleshooting no internet situations and how to reestablish internet connection with a router & modem. Aka IT network trouble shooting. I feel like now more & more people work remotely, it’s more important to understand this when one has to deal with this and figure out the problem and fix it to continue working rather than waiting on the internet provider office to send someone out to fix the problem…which normally takes days/weeks.

[@David_408]

@Sneed I’m not sure what I said is not true. I never said you can’t get into the cybersecurity industry without this knowledge. Knowledge just gives further insight into the aspects of a job in cybersecurity. I know people that never went to school and worked in restaurants before getting into a career in cybersecurity. And guess what they are really good at their job. What I’m trying to say, and probably also the video (don’t want to put words in grant’s mouth), is that people tend to rush into the industry only want to be l33t hackers. But there is nothing wrong with becoming a more well rounded IT professional first. So really great rebuttal.

I am currently on my 4th cybersecurity position and the only people that asked about my degree were the ones for my first position....and that was an intern position so it makes sense.

If it's been years, you should've have advanced higher than support desk. Any IT company you work for, everyone is universally in customer service. Many IT folks advance via learning security by learning the product you support. In a case like firewalls, learn it's security properties and how to protect your client for inbound and outbound threats. Protect what's inside. Learn about security IPS works. Use software that prevent unrecognized processes from running. So much to list here but you learn about security and advance your role. It's not like you can learn cyber security and land a role working for a big wig cyber sec firm. It takes years of experience and credentials to get to that and it really all depends whether those things click for you or if you're just doing it to make more money but no passion for what you're really doing. I encourage you to expand your knowledge and be ahead of your peers.

You can try to get a position like that without any certification at all, but a CompTIA A+ certification would help you to get your foot in the door if you don't have any experience with Helpdesk, Call Center or PC support (any experience in IT at all). This position will help you identify what you like the most in IT as far as foundation prior to Cyber Security; for example, say you like the network side of IT, then maybe you would want to study for the Network+ to get a foundation in Network, get experience as Network Admin and then start studying Cyber Security topics. Just an example though. One channel you can look at is IT Career Questions. Awesome channel that will give you a better direction than me. Another one is David Bombal. John Hammond is awesome as well, and The Cyber Mentor. And one thing I have been doing that teaches me a lot while I'm driving to work, is listen to podcast on Spotify, there is one amazing called The Hacker Factory with Phillip Wylie. He interviews a lot of different guests with different backgrounds, it's impossible not to identify yourself with anyone. You will love it.

You make so much sense. I do wonder though why cybersecurity always seems to be conducted in the dark...

[@brutalidze1680]

Don't waste your time. First, learn Networks. Second, intensively learn cyber security for for 3 months. Do several hand ons projects from beginner to advanced levels. Apply to jobs.

[@NancyOjo-ph1xi]

What kind of network?

[@crosslide0k]

​@NancyOjo-ph1xi networks in general

[@fararian]

Thank for providing great information. I see many of my classmates struggle with the fundamentals while being only one year away from getting their bachelors degree of cyber.

[@napoleona.erhuvwu877]

Good day, if it's possible can you tell me what it's like studying cyber security in the university and if it's worth the time?

[@tiffyfisher2191]

Leaving law enforcement currently have a bachelors in criminal Justice and thinking about getting a masters in cybersecurity. Thank you for this video!

[@july9566]

Damn law enforcement that crazy these days ?

[@fitness_shorts2024]

I think Cyber forensic will be great for you... just saying

[@tiffyfisher2191]

@@fitness_shorts2024 I’ll look into that thank you

[@FARIDA97]

The office mug caught my eyes

[@FARIDA97]

Thanks for the Udemy freebie. I already earned my security+ cert but I'll scan through and hopefully learn something new!

[@collinsinfosec]

Hey no problem! Happy to help. Stay tuned to the Udemy course. I am adding another module, where we will be building a cybersecurity homelab.

[@danieljabiri947]

Do you have more information regarding job descriptions (knowledge and skills) and duties when faced with Cybersecurity careers? Also, the pathways of job titles as a beginner to novice and entrepreneur in Cybersecurity? Thanks!

[@collinsinfosec]

Hey Daniel! Here's a great website which lists the general job descriptions and skills in Cybersecurity: www.cyberdegrees.org/jobs/

[@Lucius8514]

People say I am crazy but I still take basic networking courses at my local Community College. I want to keep up with my IT knowledge. Plus I just like school. Thinking about going and get my PhD in Cyber Security. Thanks

[@GreyFromTheBay]

Deciding to turn my attention into online ways to make money even though I don’t have a computer, but I appreciate this video tons and it gave me a trail to start following!

[@atlantic_love]

The video has nothing to do with "online ways to make money". Move along with your spam.

[@ahmeddaahir1027]

The only cyber guy who talks fact❤ love you bro

[@Domini0n1]

Good stuff Grant 👍🏽. Funny thing is I’ve heard of Udemy but did not use it yet. Will look into however…

[@arianaestrada687]

VERY HAPPY TO HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL GREAT INFORMATION JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR TY

[@Joshviljoen]

This gave me a better understanding on where to start thank you so much

[@abdihussein2048]

You gave so much insight on how to start the cyber career and recommend on ur link the best school to learn from it. I checked it out and they look really good can’t wait to start at the beginning of the year. Thanks a lot ur legit bro hands down. 😊

[@nkomeleonard3584]

Your explanation makes so much sense

[@EuroTravelDiaries]

this is indeed a great resource for the cyber security. thanks for making this video.

[@WALKITOFFDavidSmith]

"Boom! Roasted." The Office nerd here 🙂 Enjoyed the video and info. Thanks for sharing.

[@misslyricaltopic8]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It really helps! ❤❤

[@asadianbelifont3875]

Before CS I worked at an MSP. If you want experience and really need to know your way around get a cert and then work for an MSP for awhile, you will learn more in 1 yr at an MSP than 6 years in school

[@robertwartovo6820]

Very Well explained young man. GOOD JOB and all the best in your future career 🎉🥂

[@TheBlackmanIsGod]

First thing you need to learn is the thinking, mentality and thought process to problem solving with computers, and servers and everything else…….. if you don’t have the thinking and theory down enough to problem solve quickly and easily down you won’t ever make it in this industry…. This is why everyone teaches the software but not the actual human processes required

[@MadMaxWill]

*Immediately answers the question asked in title* .... Okay, you've got my attention.

[@faisonfaison679]

Dude love this video. To the point off the bat and then explinantion not a bunch of mumbo jumbo for 20 mins and then finally some info. Love love love this video. Even the plug you put a skip. I watched the whole video and will watch it 2 more times. Thank you.

[@veggiecannible505]

I have mediocre skills will computer but I want to be a cyber security engineer for the money plus the title sounds cool. This video helped a lot

[@euric869]

Imo IT fundamentals is not worth it especially if you plan on taking the A+ which is more dense and recognizable than the ITF and the A+ is usually considered the newbie cert.

[@collinsinfosec]

I would agree is most cases in terms of the ITF+ CompTIA certifications. I am emphasizing I.T. fundamentals as a general concept rather than the CompTIA ITF+ certification. Hope this clarifies the video's message.

[@danielmontejo790]

Thanks a lot Grant for sharing such a simple video but very helpful because of the insights it gives and the resources you gave, I found it a very valuable piece of information. THANKS A LOT !

[@breezewills]

I've started studying BSc. Information Security at Heritage Christian College in Africa(Ghana) I would love it if you could help me with the basics before lectures start! By the way, your confidence level is on point keep it up.

[@GenXdad]

Happy I found your video. I just finished Google IT Fundamentals , and looking to get in to Cyber Security.

[@onohvictorebuka2846]

Do I have to learn python and JavaScript for me to be able to set up for my carrier in cybersecurity

[@franciscomedinav]

Good content. After IT Fundamentals I think people should learn Python and then get into cybersecurity, data analytics, and others.

[@Rosarak]

you explained it very well! thanks.

[@chesterwilliamharding5016]

does a cyber security need programming or just a basic programming? Or a networking?

[@charlita25]

Thanks you’ve given me hope 👩🏽‍💻🖥️

[@vonobi]

I almost went to bed but I'm glad i stumbled on this video. It's a divine guidance! The last couple of days have been so stressful. Have been doing a lot research between Cybersecurity and data science as someone without a degree and tech background. I will shoot you an email

[@francescohelsing5031]

Man really thx for the work, i wanna start this job and i need some basics, really ty

[@Ryannrj]

Thank you so much for the advice Grant! I love your channel

[@Blackbird0000]

I like that 220 Palo you got there, do you use it for personal use if so do you have any video recommendations on configuring them or uploading updates on it. I’ve had experience sharing console access to the network engineer guys. There always doing the fun stuff 😂
