[@geebee4166]

Did you get a job though

[@JackKapral]

Since i've graduated this year as a Cloud Architecture Engineer (and not after high school, i'm 40) and have some experience in IT i can easily disprove the first argument. Working in the cloud environment isn't about clicking in fancy GUIs - most of the time You'll be working on yaml files or in terraform. Don't even get me started on the challenging aspect and quantity of devops tools. It is ridiculous at this moment, the iceberg of cloud related tools. I think that it is one of the fastest growing field in IT, beside "bestseller" - AI. I'll try to go into cloud security myself.

Cooking! Cloud Security is the place, best of both cyber and cloud world :D

[@simondian6380]

Agree and disagree here speaking by experience. I have been working in IT sales at an OEM and partner level with visibility at any scale and can confirm this. Cybersecurity is not going anywhere and people are getting paid to get trained by the larger companies to increase their skills, to get there you need the basics. On the other hand Cloud computing is indeed a very useful skill, but more and more companies are leaving the cloud du to higher costs. I think balance is the key here and every approach is different some people will like cybersecurity and others cloud.

[@kennymontana8194]

Very small companies perhaps, but for medium to larger companies, hyperscale computing service are growing at a crazy rate. Cloud service also keep getting cheaper rather quickly. You also have to remember companies both large and small, don't simply use only Cloud based services, they will have local office services etc that require local Sec Ops. Lots of IT jobs for all

[@MichaelJ-m6n]

Cybersecurity is so difficult to enter for a beginner, you're right

[@techwithsoleyman]

Absolutely, it’s a super complex niche

[@MuhammedJihad-sd8lx]

Just a tip: cyber security is reverse Engineering field Which means learn how that specific thing work See how its been bulid Try to break it down So you build the experience needed To deliver the handling for that thing in organization's so you land the job easily In summary to get tricked with wide scope Choose the small very high demand area and master it

[@DataLuke]

100% and cloud gives you the opportunity to specialise in security if you still really want to

[@techwithsoleyman]

Exactly!!!

[@divyanshu969]

But i think demand in cyber security is high and supply is less and due to booming of ai cyber attacks grown 600x so why should we only develop apps not secure them then what's the purpose remain?

[@irenemurunga8524]

Opted for Cybersecurity - network architect. And now studying cloud computing to specialise as a Cloud Security Architect/Engineer. Simpler route for me and the market location I'm in.

[@moses.muchemi]

wow you found a job?

[@irenemurunga8524]

@moses.muchemi still studying. Opted for an instructor led option. But I'm working as a network security architect. For cloud security, I've seen most need you to have a background/experience in cybersecurity reason i chose that route

[@ProjectEpochGaming]

all i heard was "play the safe option cause the other option required too much work" basically tells me you assume your audience isnt up for the challenge. its actually a little offensive...

[@IslandBarbie420]

You gained a follower! Thank you for breaking down everything into digestible bites!!

[@wdbsurfer]

What I'd also say is that by learning any technology the modern way, you will, by default, learn how to do it securely. All proper training courses across various technology areas focus on "security by design" and "secure by default". If you aren't learning how to do whatever it is you're learning securely, ditch it and find a different resource. I always tell people that EVERYONE is n information security person; they just don't know it yet and they may just not be a good one because they're exposing themselves or others.

[@thebugg333]

This sounds like a challenge for any IT jobs people start out with...the individual wants to be an analyst or engineer fresh from college and never apply for a help desk or call center position where they may grow from within....if you work for a bigger company; otherwise you need to job hop. First it was active directory, or systems admin as the hard to get into position years back, now it just shifted since most organizations do not know what to do or how to hire for a security position in the same way they had no idea how to hire qualified systems administrators.

[@WestRonin75]

Tried to get an infosec job as a beginner. Two security certs, multiple projects, polishing my resume, and applying to close to 500 jobs has gotten me nowhere. I think I might give cloud a try.

[@raptoriks12345]

It is BS Sybersecurity is not for everyone. You need a special mindset. Same like for Police detectives, not everyone would be able to do it. And catching game is not true also. Of course will take a bit of time to get to it, but eventually it will pay off, and most of the time way better than cloud computing

[@GengoSenmon]

That's the beauty of learning cloud. You can jump into (and out of) any number of other specializations in tech, like security or AI.

[@techwithsoleyman]

Yep! It’s that simple

[@jibin6013]

Can you kindly share the report mentioned in the video in the description

[@wdbsurfer]

The truth is that cyber security as a career is NOT for beginners IMO. A good candidate as a cyber security beginner is someone who has sufficient knowledge and experience with the technologies a cyber security professional will need to secure in the first place. If you start with cyber, you'll either be out of your depth from the get go or you will be a risk to businesses and people. Of course there are rare exceptions, where there are some really astute individuals that can jump right in and learn cyber quickly but the reality is that it's likely not cyber security they're learning but rather the underpinnings of a technology or business process that they'll then learn how to either exploit or protect. For example, when doing the CISSP exam, sure, you may be able to consume data and pass the exam purely because you have the human equivalent of a machine learning brain but you will not be able to apply the principles contextually without understanding the why, the how or being able to call on intimate knowledge of the thing you're trying to protect. Sure, you can use frameworks but then again, any person that can read can as well.

Turn up to some real people and you will realize that getting a job as cloud engineer is equally difficult now. This field is somewhat mixed with development, companies now need developers who know some concepts of cloud as well. If you talk about really big corporations, then getting a job as cloud or cyber sec is on same level. Basically after COVID-19 its really difficult for any beginner to crack any, I repeat any, IT job.

I'm in a cybersecurity bootcamp right now (Nexus with U of M), and one of my instructors said that the best troubleshooter he's ever met had heavy maintenance skills. He also recommended Professor Messer's KZbin channels for learning Cybersecurity. I personally like his stuff and it's free. Certification Cynergy also has an IMMENSE amount of free stuff on their channel; like ITF+ and A+ courses. I'm on the journey so I'm not certified yet, but I wholeheartedly trust the knowledge that I'm receiving so far. I hope this helps
