Cybersecurity vs Network Engineering what is the difference?

[@marcocampoverde5482]

You must know networking fundamentals to even step foot into cybersecurity direction 😊

[@Valor7464]

I currently work as a desktop support tech and have been in the field for about three months. I got my A+ and a bachelor's degree in IT. I plan on taking the network + in about two weeks and then I'm gonna tackle the CCNA. My long term goal is to be a network engineer. Im just grateful that I got a role in the field to build the work experience on my resume and do something I love for a career. Keep striving everyone!

[@NetworkWali]

@@Valor7464 that’s a phenomenal plan keep it up and you’ll get there!

[@RealNetworkP]

why not skip net+ and just get your ccna? All the info is in the ccna just more broad. I just got my ccna 3 weeks ago and I’m a network admin for a private school

[@Valor7464]

@@RealNetworkP I felt like I wanted some foundational knowledge first. Plus it doesn't hurt anything having both. Also didn't really help that I was undecided on whether i wanted to go the networking route or cybersecurity route for my career just a few months ago.

[@ChristopherTravis-v9d]

Skip the Net+. If you want the foundation go through objectives and ExamCram book then go after CCNA. You want to be Network Engineer you’re more than likely to work with Cisco proprietary devices.

@NetworkWali do you plan to make a video on the network engineer vs network security engineer?

[@lilhuncho6053]

I always look forward to seeing your videos. Keep up the good work broski

[@NetworkWali]

@@lilhuncho6053 thanks bro!

[@ToneVidaaaaaa]

Yo! Love your videos, speaking from a Cybersecurity standpoint, the CISSP is actually not a good security certification to get, especially if you have no direct Cybersecurity experience. It's mainly geared towards management positions or CISO position. You learn alot of topics but they only go an inch deep. I'm a Senior Security Engineer for Oracle. None of my technical colleagues have the CISSP just management.

[@NetworkWali]

@@ToneVidaaaaaa interesting I was the told cissp is more of a wall to get passed hr in cyber but I always knew cissp doesn’t really give you the required skills but more of overview. What cert do think offers best ROI in your field?

[@ToneVidaaaaaa]

@NetworkWali it's a wall to get past HR filters for recruiters who have no knowledge of the position they are recruiting for. Example, I've seen SOC Analyst positions with 2 years of experience asking for a CISSP 🤔. That alone makes no sense because you need 5 years of experience to even claim the CISSP, 2nd the CISSP has nothing to do with SOC positions. Depending on the position you are looking to get into, the Cysa+ is actually pretty good to start with. Getting your PCNSE will help for security engineer positions. But overall it depends on the role! Getting experience with any top SIEM and EDR solution will be more valuable than a CISSP. Basically Cybersecurity is such a broad field, it helps when you know exactly where you wanna go. If you have the funds, GIAC certifications are highly sought in the security sector, but the training is super $$$$.

[@Vamo_Alla]

Thanks for your insights and questions. Which roadmap you would recommend for network security and cybersecurity? I appreciate your help since you’re cybersecurity? Thanks 🙏

[@Cyber.Chronicles]

Hi Wali! This is my first time seeing your videos and I really appreciated you bringing up the fact that people who are interested in cybersecurity need knowledge in multiple areas of IT. I am interested in Network Security, so I am learning and studying for my CCNA. I am excited to hear your point of view about networking in your other and upcoming videos!

[@IAM1804.]

I am currently learning network engineering with a major in cybersecurity. I can't wait to start moving up the ladder.

[@yiyiyiyi-l2o]

Currently, I have been engaged in the network industry for more than 4 years. I mainly focus on the establishment and maintenance of enterprise networks. I basically create IP network segments on core switches, allocate DHCP address pools, and divide VLANs. These basic tasks involve routing, most of which are static routing. Although ospf and other Routing protocols can also be used, but they are rarely used. Firewalls, network access systems, and commonly used security equipment are also often used. It still depends on the environment. There is not much to learn in small business networks, and large networks such as data centers have not yet Have been exposed to, such as SDN or cloud network

[@thisIsAnilG]

am currently doing an intern and its a mid sized business with less networkings to deal with. i wanted to ask, what are some of the routing protocols that i need to learn in large business organizations? also what are other networking skills to learn like SDN for current network engineering job market?

[@yiyiyiyi-l2o]

​@@thisIsAnilG I am also very confused now. Many large-scale network architectures use SDN and VXLAN, but there are too many network engineers in China now, and all of them are CCIEs. It is very difficult to find a job in China. Many CCIEs are scrambling for jobs that pay even 7,000 or 8,000 RMB. Many of my friends have switched to cloud computing, storage and other branches.

[@CarlosDimitri-wr7xu]

This October I will start my apprenticeship, which will teach me both networking and security.

[@NetworkWali]

@@CarlosDimitri-wr7xu let me know how it goes!

[@tateasaurusrex911]

I’m currently at the end of my studies for certificate 3 in IT. Next I get to choose what I want to specialise in. I really enjoyed Networking but also want to learn more about Cybersecurity.

[@mortgagefelix]

I'm currently studying Cybersecurity, I'm expected to finish my AS next December and I plan to pursue a BAS. I recently passed a few certs to get started, ITF+, A+, Network+ and Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate. Next semester I'm taking couple of classes to prepare for the CCNA and Security+. I'm hoping to get an entry-level job soon on something related to IT but no luck yet.

[@IrizLegaspi]

Im studying networking now for a year now aside from working a regular day job.

[@besnikbrahimi5483]

I'm looking to join in network engineering but im looking for any scholarship because i dont have enough money to get a CCNA also Keep it up👏

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

I love networking alot

[@Youngsimba303]

Very insightful!!

[@Vamo_Alla]

Hello, Which roadmap you would recommend for networking that will lead you network security? I appreciate your great content! Thanks 🙏

[@NetworkWali]

@@Vamo_Alla I would say first become a network engineer for a minimum two years, then transition into network security

[@Vamo_Alla]

@@NetworkWali alright 👍 it sounds a great way to go. I really appreciate your reply and thanks for being very honest because here in KZbin, there are a lot of dishonest people transmitting the wrong massage and misguiding. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎

[@Sonumania123]

​@@NetworkWaliCCNP enterprise or collaboration, which is better before network security

[@Siritubi]

Hello, I am currently a college student that is majoring in cybersecurity and my curriculum includes classes for ccna 1 and 2. My main concern is that since I have little to no background currently, should I stick to cybersecurity or change my major to networking. Since I have read multiple threads stating that you need fundamental knowledge and background in networking to be successful in cybersecurity. Any advice would be appreciated

[@NetworkWali]

@@Siritubi I wouldn’t change your major but maybe I’d look into a general major like CIS or CS and minor in cyber of networking but you are better off learning outside the school system ngl

[@NyashaNeshumba]

I Hardware Engineering but I love Cybersecurity. How can I make a switch?😢

[@NetworkWali]

@@NyashaNeshumba learn the skills required and start talking to the cyber professionals and see what they did you get into that role and copy what they did

[@abcd-z1m]

I'm new in IT. i do not know what major to choose.which one will be easier for me programming or network engineering?
