Great vid 💯

[@maryjane4012]

This is really helpful.

[@fuadahmed7322]

My two favourite ppl on a video 👌

[@KenSherman]

7:30-7:38 I agree. Networking is the foundation of IT.

[@headinthekloudz]

Long story short, "like/and like/was like". 😂 But amazing job bro, hats of to you day.

[@Stoneface_]

He said that a lot but great interview nonetheless

[@theofficialgaro]

Great video, I want to see a video for professionals already in IT wanted a transition to cybersecurity, specific to Cloud Security

[@MadeByGPS]

Noted

[@Cosmos273]

So interesting

[@sitrakaforler8696]

Interesting subject 😮

[@josealmaraz8703]

My guy Day !

[@qerbros]

Will you advice someone to do Cloud Security certifications or go through the cybersecurity route?

[@qerbros]

Thanks for the video. He mentioned blue Team level 1 certification. I will like to find out whether Cicso Cberops can be compared to Blue team? Are they similar or BlueTeam is more valuable?

[@francisfrancis1153]

Blue Team wins cos you get the real skillset.

[@jefeseason4990]

What is a better degree to get a BS in cloud computing or cybersecurity.

[@johnvardy9559]

Could soc 1 go for Cloud?is that close? Or which one is better to start?

[@shiloh4184]

I know this is just GPS doing what she does. But this is sooooooooo good.

[@MadeByGPS]

lol I appreciate you!

[@ermiasketema8292]

Hello! I started to read Linux Basics For Hackers and as i’m following along, it says to download VirtualBox. When I go to do that it says that the download are not supported and haven’t been since 2020. Should I still continue with the book or would it defeat the purpose. If you have any other recommendations for a beginner please let me know! thank you

[@MadeByGPS]

Don't give up on that book, try to find another solution.

[@yas1467]

I like to use vmware for virtual machine, virtual box never worked for me

[@icyberq]

Make sure the VirtualBox version you download is compatible for the operating system you're using. There's a version for Windows and Mac. Nonetheless, do some more research and you'll get it to work. And "Linux Basics for Hackers" is an excellent book.

[@TechTualChatter]

I always gotta support the young master @day cyberwox when hes doing an interview

[@Cruzan9]

Re: @7:24, I've managed to avoid networking...mostly...throughout my 10 years in IT. My segue to cloud will change all that. Color me concerned.😬
