Get a Cybersecurity Job with no Experience

[@JonathanGreen-x5k]

I could not find an example of your trifecta online. Per Forbes "The Trifecta Of Cybersecurity: Threat Intelligence, Security Validation And Expert Services." You say no experience, but you had an IT degree and help desk experience. Totally different than the video title, in my opinion.

[@empiricaltraining]

The Trifecta is something we created 😀 -AJ

[@TechDripX]

Thanks for sharing your expirence!

[@empiricaltraining]

You are welcome! We have a cybersecurity community if you were interested in joining?

[@Olaadeslaw]

I just got introduced to it

[@OnceUponaTimeIn-qp9sx]

3.5 million unfilled jobs for experienced professionals. But they should narrow that down for entry level positions.

[@empiricaltraining]

Cybersecurity isn’t really a entry level industry. We think analysts are the most entry level but you still need a solid set of skills to get in -AJ

[@ultravioletiris6241]

@@empiricaltraining I wish people would be more specific when they throw around things like “entry level” and “skills”. I know experienced people who cant learn new things for sh$$, and by the same token I know some EXTREMELY skilled college students looking for their first internship. Unfortunately there are no cheat codes to breaking into cyber - by the same token there are no cheat codes to determining how skilled someone is going to be in their job. In the USA children are often taught not to “judge a book by its cover” for this exact life lesson.

[@empiricaltraining]

@@ultravioletiris6241 yeah I agree it all depends on the person but you can clearly see how skilled someone is in an interview if you ask them to perform the task required to do the job -AJ

[@ultravioletiris6241]

@@empiricaltraining If it were that simple, everyone would be doing it.

[@empiricaltraining]

I think sometimes people don’t put in enough work. Because it’s clearly possible to get into cybersecurity but it’s just knowing the right pathway and sticking to it. I failed about 30 interviews until I finally got accepted -AJ

if im learn from the hack the box, is that enough for me, ( im enrol in penetration test path in hack the box)

[@empiricaltraining]

That’s not enough, you’ll want to also do some home projects too -AJ

[@boomfire6413]

@@empiricaltraining like install same virtual server and try to hack them for example??

[@empiricaltraining]

@@boomfire6413 yeah!

[@ZaquanCamp]

Yall not telling us how to get started like actually showing us where you went to fill out the application yall showing us how to do the work which is great but how do we get here do we have to own our own desktop and what application do we fill out can yall provide that information please.... Please please please

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah go to the link in the video description and we have a free community and course which will explain this 😀 -AJ

[@boomfire6413]

can i be specifically in 2 path in Cyber security, for exemple: been SOC and Cyber defense at the same time, or it's impossible or it will effect at his productivity

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah so SOC analyst is a cyber defense role so both paths would be similar -AJ

[@cranglin3096]

I finish my google cybersecurity course last month

[@nilutpalbose]

hows your experience in m planing to start this month

[@empiricaltraining]

Go to the free cybersecurity analyst course in the video description! -AJ

[@nikogaming3392]

How do you feel about the google cybersecurity certification? Do you think it’s a good foundation?

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah I actually went through it to see what it is like and I think it is very good! -AJ

[@prasanamad4645]

Bro i have a question?

[@empiricaltraining]

Sure, what is it? - AJ

[@ruthngouomo]

Do we need comptiA for fundamental cybersecurity entry level?

[@empiricaltraining]

What’s your current experience in IT and tech? -AJ

[@varma9114]

Bro can you post a soc analyst course @Empirical Training 💬👀🤝

[@empiricaltraining]

Haha we do have one if the video description! -AJ

[@chrismadden22]

What would be the simpliest entry level job title in cybersecurity ?

[@empiricaltraining]

I think it is a cybersecurity analyst as that is where I started! -AJ

[@PaladinGMS]

Question so you did mention Red hats and blue hats ,I’m actually taking a cyber security course at the moment Becauese i really want to learn Ethical hacking ,does a Ethical hacker fall in the same category as a blue hat or a red hat ? And also do Ethical hackers do the same job roll as cyber security analyst is it all the same thing such as job rolls or no ? 🤔

[@empiricaltraining]

Ethical hackers are red teamers. They do different jobs from blue teamers and try to attack the applications and systems where as the blue teamers defend! -AJ

[@rodelquirante5487]

So it is possible to get a job to become a Cybersecurity even you don't have college degree and experience?

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah you would just go down the home project and certification route instead!

[@TheITCornerbyJR]

Yes, totally. But is not that easy. Most companies are looking for people with experience. Now is one of those things like the chicken before the egg. So my suggestion is to start with a foundational cert. ISC2 CC or CompTIA Security+. If you want to learn even from a more basic angle, I recommend ITF+ or A+. Both from CompTIA. Then you can look for an entry job in IT and start that way until you can go to Cyber. I hope this helps ✌🏽😎

[@rizwanfarooq-gf1no]

I've been in cloud computing for 2 years now. Mainly dealt with aws since the beginning. What should I do in that case? I've heard going for the security+ cert & then going for aws security specialist to help... What sort of role should I look for?

[@JonathanGreen-x5k]

If you are already in cloud, go for cloud security! Legacy (Non Cloud) Engineers can't even get into cloud!

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah I would say go for the AWS security specialist and apply for Cloud Security jobs! -AJ

[@FactChecker1378]

There’s no substitute for Business/IT duo degrees. 🤦🏾

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah I think certifications and projects can beat that -AJ

I want it

All he is saying is garbage. He is irrelevant things people already know

[@empiricaltraining]

This makes no sense. I have worked in cybersecurity for the last 8 years so I would say it is relevant. -AJ
