Nice video. I was interested in cyber security but have began dabbing in the cloud, primarily GCP and now looking to cloud security. So we will see what I end up in.

[@ivanjimenez466]

Colin Kelly I’m looking into the Associate Cloud Engineer for GCP and maybe the Cloud Practitioner for AWS

[@koalakakes]

@@ivanjimenez466 skip cloud practioner and go straight for AWS SAA if you want to work in cloud. you need cloud experience before working in cloud security.

I have one question I am interested in cyber security with no prior experience Should i start with Network+ security+ or a+ pls Help

[@InvalidPersistentName]

Start with A+, then get your Net+ and finish it steady with your Sec+

[@welissoncanto]

if u already have IT basics go straight to the security +. but networking knowledge is really essential in cybersecurity..

Does jr. Cybersecurity analyst has similar role like soc analyst tier 1 for entry levels?

[@bradwilliams7690]

I’m trying to go for an analyst role in my path of cyber security. Right now I’m a freshman and studying for Security+. If I’m trying to go into the analyst role, what software tools should I learn? I’m trying to get an intern this winter or next summer.

@@markvictorrepalma8785 Getting the Security+ could help accelerate the process, most security roles require it

[@6s6]

What do you think of the CCNA? Do a lot of the cyber security professionals you've worked with (particularly in your Co-op) have their CCNA?

[@koalakakes]

the ccna is very helpful for getting into security. im a security engineer, it will be helpful. i dont suggest attempting to go directly into security without having experience in other IT technical roles.
