interesting , you are right on skills gap and there are still not good enough pool of talented and skills people available in in Infosec overall. I'd love to do a podcast with you.

Using AI for Cybersecurity and Using Cybersecurity to secure AI ! With a big concern in the future, there are could be :“ bad guys AI” and “good guys AI.” I am appreciated for your lecture.

[@jeffcrume]

Yes, this is what we refer to as “dual use technology” in that regard. Glad you liked the video!

[@eddietmcneil]

Very insightful and agnostic which is great to hear. I'm surprised at the MFA stat as this is where we see the primary gaps (i.e. I don't know what I don't know )

570k jobs? Its so hard to even get a low level help desk job now without meeting multiple gatekeeping requirements though. Cert, degree, experience - all just to be stuck resetting some passwords. If you're a high school grad its basically hopeless now.

[@jeffcrume]

I understand. Not all of these jobs are entry level, of course, but there are many of them for people with the right skills and experience

[@Zero11_ss]

@@jeffcrume Sorry for my negative comments Jeff. And yes I understand they aren't all entry level jobs - just seems like there is increasingly less and less pathways in any industry for those who didn't finish college to make it into anything but a McJob. Have a good new years

[@Arun_Kumar_UK]

@@Zero11_ss You are right to point out the requirements for sometime irrelevant degrees and certs, instead of a simple knowledge/skills based hiring. I certainly hope we would get to a pure skill based hiring one day. But the reality is it's a more difficult hiring process to evaluate a person's skill set, and degrees/certs are used in lieu of that, which is easier although not fair. Very few firms hire based on skills alone. My suggestion is to pick up some of the cheaper security certifications to land your first job in cyber security. There are tons of content on youtube for training for them. Once you pick up some experience in the first job, that adds more credibility when you apply for your second one. A few years down the line degree and certs wont matter at all given your experience (and learnings from previous jobs). The last couple of years has been challenging for candidates given the macro economic conditions anyway. I hope you have better luck this year, and all the best!

[@jonathanchery6748]

Skills gap to me is not just a job opening position thin imo. I also think that the person on the job needs to have an understanding and a field background experience in IT to further better their skills.... cybersecurity is not just policys and compliance to put in place but also understanding the technical skills behind all those requirements to secure an organization environment. Too many people are more on the bureaucracy part of cybersecurity and not understanding why the mechanisms in place are there or even understanding why an attack occurs in the technical details....

[@sridevisridhar5732]

I am was an implementation engineer of IBM products and also worked as a cybersecurity project manager. Ex Ibmer as well. I have recent career break hard for me to restart the career. Any suggestions for certifications or how should I proceed. I am in a state Whether I should go back to technical or continue looking opportunities for PM roles ? Any suggestions would be helpful

[@m.bhavyasreebhavya4489]

Thanks for the giving this opportunity!

[@jeffcrume]

You’re very welcome!

[@Tony-dp1rl]

Passkeys are not without their own problems though, such as needing the device with the key, security of stolen devices, etc.. Phishing attacks will likely just move to account retrieval, which is not a lot different from how some of them work now.

I’ll be watching too to see if this guy knows what he’s talking about 😂

Learned something new regarding FIDO Authentication. I have been learning about MFA for my Security+ studies. This video was informative to me. Thanks!

[@jeffcrume]

So glad you liked it! I have a video on FIDO entitled “the end of passwords” and a follow up FAQ video you might find useful

[@Vamo_Alla]

Hello, this is a great video and info! I understand this is about cyber security, but what do you think about AI helping in the software development industry or do you think it will replace software development jobs? I see lots of talking about it. What is your thoughts? Thanks for the great content.

[@jeffcrume]

That chapter has yet to be written but what I think will happen is that AI will be a force multiplier in software development both in terms of writing and debugging code. That could replace some jobs but may create opportunities for others in related areas such as architecture. If the AI can crank out code well enough, that helps but we still have to decide what code it should write and how it should integrate. Keep moving to the areas that AI can’t do, would be my advice

[@Vamo_Alla]

@@jeffcrume I agree with your point of view. It makes lots of sense! I really appreciate your reply. Thanks a lot for your insights 🙌

[@thymos6575]

amazing! btw do you think AI will affect cybersecurity jobs? like its affecting developers?

Yes, it definitely will. I have a few videos on this if you search the channel for “will ai hurt or help cybersecurity” and “ai in cybersecurity”

Whats the best way to begin my path into cybersecurity? i have some programming experience and helpdesk IT xp. I figure certs would be the first step but i can't believe thats the only way to get my foot in the door.

[@jeffcrume]

I posted two videos to the channel on cybersecurity careers so please take a look at those

[@zucchinigreen]

I think the need for more responsible and ethical AI protocols will increase on a company and nationwide level.

[@jeffcrume]

I agree! We still haven’t sorted all of this out. The issue is that even if all the good guys do the right thing, the bad guys won’t follow the rules because, well, they are bad guys

[@nakuld21]

@@jeffcrume that tussle will always be on between the ethical and non-ethical (bad actors). I believe the shift needs to come in where the damage caused by the bad actors is subdued or not considered high impact by ethical AI at some point and that will then "possibly" discard the bad effect.

[@mdmotiurrahman377]

Hello, sir, Big fan of yours: I have a question for you. I want my brother to get involved in a Cybersecurity career. Do you really think he still has a chance to start now and will get jobs this field?

I keep trying to post but they aren’t getting through. Search elsewhere on the channel and you will see other videos I did on the subject

[@ibrahim__alsayed]

nice video, cyber security is the best science in the world

[@jeffcrume]

I find it fascinating!

[@CanalMetatron]

Any course on that?

[@cyberwar365]

should I still consider pursuing an certification such as comptia security + , oscp in 2024 since I just completed my bachelor degree in computer applications or should I considered for a master degree in cyber security & computer forensic ?

[@jeffcrume]

It all depends on what your goals are. If you want to work in industry now, those certs would certainly be helpful. The masters will take longer but could lead to more opportunities in research and academia.

[@Jeff-tu8le]

would love to see you revamp IBM's Cyber Threat Intelligence course on Coursera. I just recently finished it, and that course was some hot dogshit

[@TheAngelfuu]

Excellent video (as all of your other ones!). Very clever and interesnting the concept of protect everything around the password itself, I'm sure deepfakes trying to scam people to send money to their sons will be very comon in the very near future, I'm not sure how can we protect us against that. I don't remember the name, but a I saw a guy on twitter developing an AI tool to do pentesting that was amazing and very easy to work with. As you say, AI wil also help us to improve our cibersecurity. Thanks for your videos

[@jeffcrume]

Thanks for the kind words! I think the defense against those scams will start with educating the public on what is possible and create a healthy skepticism as a result. They should verify everything. Make a call back to a trusted number. Look for other forms of proof

[@iMentorCloud]

and we still educate the end user on cybersecurity awareness. For this Deepfake govt and state has to take initiative and fund it.@@jeffcrume

@@jeffcrume thank you sir, can I ask you something is certificate necessary for having a job or skill with basic educational certificates

[@myname-mz3lo]

linux and python . python is used for data science and ai and scripting in cybersecurity . both are requisites pretty much . and python will help to learn programing itself without too much syntax getting in the way and then once you know python basics you can easily use it to learn other languages faster

[@myname-mz3lo]

@@rohithtony8211 certifications are more important than college degrees in cyber . also why get payed less to do the same job when you would get payed even more if you do a certification (if you are job ready passing a cert shouldnt be hard ) . college is a waste of time . by the time youre on year two the knowlege from year one is already obsolete lol certs all the way

[@madhavkrishna2287]

Any statistics of cybersecurity jobs and career paths available for india? All cybersecurity related companies are asking for a minimum 3 yr experience and internships are very less here.

[@jeffcrume]

Unfortunately, I don’t have the stats for India but I’m sure they must exist somewhere. And, you’re right, a lot of the positions that are available and not necessarily entry level but, still, it’s better than going into a field that is fully saturated and declining

[@joung-joonlee1037]

Maybe G-A.I threats looks like hard to prevents.. Maybe cyber security breakthrough by something like block-chain networks for G-A.I...! Maybe examples learned by cyber threats and even cyber criminals need to force out wrong decision making similarity by {X}-A.I Thank you for prediction, it's look like important point outs!.. 😊😗😗😗
