Cyber Security Q&A | Rebecca Richard

[@nothingleft08]

All theaw videos from women in the tech field is giving me so much confidence and i feel so amazing about my choice. I hope everyone aiming for this gets this.

[@shortersview]

How is the tech field?? What course did u start off with

[@schnioula]

I see more and more women taking CS over, and I freaking love it! ❤️

[@schnioula]

I learned more in these 13 minutes than in 4 seasons of Mr. Robot! OMG - warte! Du sprichst deutsch? Ich bin ebenfalls aus Deutschland! 🇩🇪👋

[@techwithbecca]

I’m glad 😂😂 also Ja!! Meine mutter ist deutsch und wir besuchen fast jedes Jahr!! ❤️ Ich bin normalerweise in Nürnberg :)

[@mikejohnson3713]

We need more women in this field my little sister is majoring in cyber security. I just have to be more competitive then her because she is smart as heck.

[@schnioula]

Mike Johnson Say hi to her from me! 🤗 She got this!!! 💪

[@mikejohnson3713]

Yesmean Will do I already got by bachelors and masters in this field I have to do my best as an older brother to make sure she succeeds in this field.

[@anamikasrivastav780]

Omgg THANKYOU for saying you weren't good at computer science in high school. I am struggling so hard but I really enjoy it

[@asiahutchins3391]

Thank you so much for encouraging people to pursue a practical and impactful career like cybersecurity!! I don't have any background in CS and have just been accepted into a cybersecurity masters program

[@asiahutchins3391]

@Chantell Taylor I start this March @ NYU

[@brsugarbabe]

@@asiahutchins3391 That’s amazing. Did you get a scholarship? I’m in NYC as well.

[@wellynrose823]

By saying you don't have the CS background, do you also mean no related work experience? I'm asking as an non-CS graduate who's also looking into Cybersecurity.

[@apgzie8339]

Please how can I get across to you, thinking of getting a master for Cs without much prior knowledge

[@angelasantos7153]

How is your cybersecurity masters program so far with no cs background?

[@Miss_AriStarry]

I work in a prison so I love that you're warning your followers because we do have people in prison who broke those laws.

[@ashlynthomas-smith2445]

I just want to say that, you not only help high schoolers but us 24+ year olds(like myself) too! Lol 😝 I am just starting out because I decided to do a career change and it’s been a rollercoaster 🎢 ride but I love it ! Thanks for being so open sweetheart ❤️. My hubby & I just moved here to SATX and there are so many resources it’s amazing! I’m glad to have came across your page!

[@techwithbecca]

I’m glad you found this helpful!! Also welcome to San Antonio!! You’re going to love it here once we can actually go outside again haha. :)

[@mgray999]

You popped up into my recommended, and I'm glad. I'm a 30 year old woman who has been working on my cyber security degree for 2.5 years. On to starting the comptia route and am hoping to get an internship soon just picked up the amazon book from your description.

[@techwithbecca]

I’m glad we found each other! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@247OnlineGuy]

Keep us updated on the CompTIA route 👏🏽

I came to you for the questions/answers, but absolutely love your room. Very minimalistic, full of greys, blacks and whites.

[@thulx1042]

damn, i love her the way she say these things it really motivates me and i wanted to take cs but i wasn't sure i can pull that off, but now i think i can do it , thank you so much, i really needed this

[@azanniimani1944]

I'm so thankful I found your channel! As a black woman I appreciate the representation for women. We are pioneering in spaces that I have never seen us at the forefront of! Thank you!

[@chrisngoy9827]

Just say as a woman

[@TheRealCheyne]

Comp Science student currently in my third year, doing my internship. From the video I realised that I should not give up on Cyber Sec and btw you're gorgeous :)

[@falehaldosari2409]

Actually you encouraged me to work harder for my dreams so I just want to NEVER stop and thanks❤️

[@InsightofSamantha]

I asked about the terrorism groups because we learned about them in my terrorism class for my criminal justice degree, so I was curious if terrorists also use cyber to attack

[@dcrock8978]

Really like the calendar idea, will be adding that, thanks! Also, I use the sprint method daily too and call it chunking lol.

[@graciousyaro103]

Thanks, great advice for beginners and I will definitely check out the don't's 😁. Cool!! ,just realized your room colors are black and white,my fav😁😁

[@collinsinfosec]

Yes Rebecca! Great advice :)

[@techwithbecca]

Thank you Grant! :)

[@the_soft4832]

hey dude

[@iluvdant]

That makes sense... review the Sec+ book ahead of time. Thanks

[@tektipsweekly]

Yes! not many CS channels out there, I hope to include some CS content on mine as i grow - happy to see you grow and thanks for making the video!

[@rachellindsay6805]

This is GREAT! i just started with a staffing firm who specializes in cyber security and this was awesome, all in layman's terms. I really enjoyed learning. Any other resources you have about cyber 101, security architecture, DFIR Analysts/consultants, SOC's, DevOps, IAM, Cloud Security, etc. please send my way. Thank you!!

[@SMR6]

Lucky you . Everybody naturally trusts you and your path is so much smoother. . I on the other hand have to keep cleaning my pc just to open command prompt or install a virtual box or something. . It just gets tiring after a while . Good luck to u by the way .

[@JustAName-it5qp]

Recently separated Army Grunt. Scared to death starting on CS this fall. I saw Math/Economics and I cuddled with my guns in the fetal position. Thank you for your help.

[@techwithbecca]

Thank you for watching! It's definitely a bit intimidating but you got this. You've definitely done harder things!

[@JustAName-it5qp]

[@ryanmays1555]

Thank you for the Content! I've been trying to decide on cyber security of software dev. this helped a ton!

[@Christine_]

Wait you cant monitor or sniff network traffic using Wireshark at a public place!? aww man. lol I loved that you put this because as Im getting started I became tempted to do things like this! But as Im learning its wrong!

[@techwithbecca]

lol yeah SUPER illegal. I’m pretty sure it’s considered a form of wiretap? I’d have to look into it a bit more, but I have gotten many warnings from my professors lol. :)

[@johndee759]

So cool! Ich habe mir gedacht dass du einen klein deutschen Akzent hast. Wirklich nur eine kleinen. Danke, dass du deine Erfahrungen mit uns teilst.

[@justinvalentine2456]

Love the reference to stuxnet being isreal and us when it could be some guy on reddit in his basement lol because it was in Hewbrew? lol

[@damirchesney4170]

I want to go to college and have that experience but I feel like it would just be a waste learning classes I don’t need and I could just go for different certifications that could build up my knowledge to that extent

[@angelrodriguez7647]

Im graduating high school with a cyber security certificate and security + certified should I look for an entry level job or focus on college?

[@angelrodriguez7647]

Mike Johnson thank you for the advice and recommendations!!

[@goodwill374]

Applied for System Security Specialist at a technical school. I can’t wait to start.

[@robertkelley198]

Do you think a cyber security boot camp for 11k is a sound investment for someone looking to transition careers but prefers a class style structure? 11k just sounds like a big chunk of change when Reddit boards all preach self starting to get into this field..

[@laylanuno8491]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@bantuqueen1000]

I want to start but I hv zero computer science knowledge 😭 I’m currently a fashion designer

[@zeuscannon7096]

What major did you take? Im debating between Information Systems and Comp Sci... Is one better for Cyber Sec and Networking?

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

Always comp sci

[@ri4363]

Hello! I’m currently a high school graduate. I’m having trouble debating whether I should get a degree or just get certifications. Do you think it would be wiser in the long end to have a formal degree? Considering us as black women are looked down on in the hiring process.

[@TheMcburgerdevil]

If you dont have any foundational knowledge in IT I suggest getting a associates at a community college. I went from healthcare to cybersecurity and I went back for a associate then got my security+, I am now working as a tier 1 in a CSOC. My foundation is still rocky but I keep on trying. I am not black but I am married to a soft ware developer that is black and he says the best interviews he had were over the phone and they didnt know he was black until he showed up to work. I am the only woman in my department and I know that the csoc manager is actively trying to give women more interviews. I found this out after working at my job for 3 months that there is a non bias scale they use to hire. I had a 45 min one on one interview with the csoc manager (basic what is dns, port numbers/what they are etc). If you scored a 16 or higher you went to 2nd round interviews. 2nd round interviews were with 2 supervisiors (normally you might end up on one of their teams), 2 engineers (tier 2) and the csoc manager again. They simply want to see what knowledge you have and your problem solving skills. So far unfortanely I have been the only woman to pass the 1st round interviews.

[@Igbobabexoxo]

Please go as far as you can! Wake up everyday and be the best you that you can be. Stop putting your race first or let it cripple you. If black women were locked down on then Goldman Sachs, Master Card and other major companies wouldn’t be investing in us. Be your best self and leave race at the door! 💖

[@samjones4327]

Thank you for a very informative video! Happy New Year🎉

[@pspwilliams]

I feel so behide I have the degree but I haven’t practice much because of catch up on bills and stuff

[@techwithbecca]

You're never behind! If you learned it once, you understand the concepts. Also, there's no rush! I have to remind myself that DAILY!

[@pspwilliams]

@@techwithbecca to refresh my mind where should I start ?

[@itsLemonzest]

You sound so cool 😭👏 honestly can't wait to start my cyber career 👋✨️

[@amarchhabra2175]

Thanks for the great video. Very insightful. You mentioned some of the classes you are taking such as operating systems security. Would it be possible to link to their syllabus and the text books/materials to those courses? That would really help those of us who are trying to get ahead and/or independently learn. Thanks for the great video!

[@moraalesk]

hey so I'm taking "Client Operating Systems" in college rn and required textbook is "The Linux Command 2nd Edition" hope this helps... we're doing work in AWS and Virtual Machine, mostly about permissions and the command and terminal lines for Linux and Windows

[@codeAlongwith]

Are there more job roles for cyber than programming? I feel it may be less competitive.

[@MajesticLogic]

As a female in the cyber security field, Whats the biggest fear if any that you may have? Also, What motivated you to seek this field of study. I am finishing my Masters in cyber security and started a business and expanding to KZbin. I want to bring all demographics something they can relate to in the field.

[@uw3904]

I'm starting a degree in cyber security in 2021 and I'm also an actress in my country (I'm 19, 20 next year). A lot of people tell me not to bother with a degree bc i have a future with acting (i plan to break into Hollywood hopefully because people from my country have done it) but I really wanted to do software engineering but decided on Cyber Security. So I'm doing research if I can juggle my current job with my degree or not. What do you think?

[@lihakim1576]
