Hey sir I am also an African American who is looking to join the Air Force for a cyber security AFSC I’m in my mid 20s my plan is to do one enlistment and then get out and work cyber or do something called palace chasing, I do two years active then finish the rest in the guard or reserves.

Education is an issue, but the roadmap to actually starting a career in cybersecurity is hazy
@wasdq974810 ай бұрын
It really is. What i've learned over time is find a speciality. initially you need to be a jack of all trades but after that. Narrow down an interest. Like RF security or Protocol security/engineer like TCP/UDP/QUIC. Each of these fields go very deep. Find one you like and dive in to the point that if you were talking to the creators of it, you could tell them why you disagree with certain aspects of it.
@ghostmkc404510 ай бұрын
education isnt the issue, gatekeeping is, whether thats job promotions or business contracts to uphold certain certs over those that are clearly superior for certain corps to monetize the path to employment with not the better interest of creating better engineers, pentesters, etc. For example, CEH vs PNPT and Security+ vs OSCP. Point being is that most legacy certs are inferior today in both entry and management fields. Its a hustle, the realization is youre better off learning how to actually pentest than how to answer multiple choice questions to appease an algorithm then applying that with your own business. I guarantee you will find either clients or ppl to hire faster than it would to get hired, the irony.

Don't get your hopes up fellas. I'm a navy veteran and graduate of a cybersecurity bachelor program. Certified Security+ and AWS CCP. No one in security will hire me. I work in a data center for a bug tech company and have tried to transfer over to the security team and they will not take me cuz of "lack of experience." Neither the government nor the private sector are opening entry-level positions in cyber. And in the odd chance there is such an opening, they are flooded with applicants. I'm convinced that all this talk about opportunities in cyber is just part of a large scale psyop to convince people to get into the field to create a pool of potential candidates. But the market is oversaturated with actual talent due to layoffs and now there doesn't seem to be much hope for people getting started in the field.

Not it's not. Cyber security is virtual asset protection, the job is to protect their virtual infrastructure, it's a form of IT. I mean you can go deeper from there, red teaming, blue teaming, purple teaming...all that is are the different jobs that cuber security is divided into. It's not hard to explain at all. Blue is the defenders, red is attackers... Pretty much trying to infiltrate a company to find vulnerabilities and to test blue. Purple is like intermediary between blue and red. That's cyber security, of course it's more deep as far as description of each roles, reasons why these jobs are hard af to get.

The crux of it is that without a degree and experience, you won't get a job. You can get certs and create a portfolio up to a point, but it looks sketchy with higher level certs and no experience. So you're at a point, especially if you have a family to feed, that you continue working jobs with no relevance while waiting for that 1 in 500 chance you'll get an interview. There's a reason China has 50 cyber experts to our 1. It's a price we're all going to have to pay sooner or later.

Exactly! It's definitely hard work and focus. I get annoyed when I see talks just about those areas in which I believe it's selling a false sense of the field especially for those that want to get into it. A Senior level person is probably making a lot of money but that again depends on the company that you work for or if you're also freelancing possibly. But if you get into the field there is a lot to learn and enjoy other than looking at it from just some money. You can even help out your average person who doesn't know much about protecting themselves from the basics. It's a real joy and gratitude that you get from it. Money will come.

I'm a veteran with a bachelor's degree in science. I completed the Google professional certificate for Cybersecurity Analyst and I'm about to take the security+ exam. Entry-level jobs requires a minimum of 1 to 3 years of real-world experience. I don't qualify for internships because I am not an undergraduate. I've never seen an apprenticeship job offer. All recommendations point to networking. It comes down to who you know. You need someone to have sympathy on you and offer you a way in. This formula perpetuates discrimination and promotes vapid self promotion rather than individuals with problem solving skills. Given that America claims to be lacking people to fill over a half a million cyber security positions, I'm puzzled as to how the industry intends to overcome the shortfall without establishing a viable apprenticeship program that is nondiscreminitory?!

Facts. Pple need to do their research like you did. I'm like its 500k jobs needed but tech sector is laying off pple. AI will take the cybersecurity jobs mostly

Yeah most people in Computer science with Masters degrees are being put to waste. I decided to specialize in artificial intelligence because it will replace a lot of computing jobs in the future. I think product support jobs will always be around. But less and less you will find software engineers and security engineers in 10 years or so.

@@mikedcthat's correct, AI will take a lot of Cyber security jobs except for the ones that require the most technical skill that computer science degree holders should be able to do (Reverse Engineering).

@@MalamIbnMalam I wouldnt specialize in AI. Quuntum Security is truly where they are going. AI is now. Get the fundamentals. I would do Computer Engineering and focus on supercomputers and HPC clusters. They will be around the next 15 to 20 years and they make money

I have an MBA (recently earned) and I hope to get my Security + certification in June of this year. I am also an Air Force Veteran. I hope to make a complete pivot from the healthcare field to the information technology in the gov tech or DoD space. Hopefully, the MBA has some weight. I hope to earn a PhD in Cybersecurity Analytics but I am also optimistically hopeful in entering a cybersecurity niche in the DoD/Intelligence space.

DOD has cyber apprentice and internships. Remember there are different agencies. Start with DOD, DOE, and Homeland Security. Remember they all require the Security+ to start. Do not pay 5k for security +. Get a book , flashcards, and a practice exam. Apply to the DOD, DOE, and federal tech job.

Analisi del Discorso Nel video, l'US National Cyber Director Harry Ker parla a un evento a Washington DC sull'importanza della cybersecurity e della protezione dell'infrastruttura critica. Egli evidenzia le sfide e le opportunità nel campo della cybersecurity, sottolineando la necessità di coinvolgere il settore privato, il governo e le comunità sottorappresentate nella difesa cibernetica. Inoltre, sottolinea l'importanza di sensibilizzare il pubblico sull'attuale rischio per l'infrastruttura critica. Qualità e Difetti del Discorso Qualità 1. Chiarezza nel Messaggio Ker trasmette in modo chiaro e diretto l'importanza della cybersecurity e della protezione dell'infrastruttura critica. 2. Coinvolgimento del Pubblico Si impegna attivamente a coinvolgere il pubblico, evidenziando le minacce alla sicurezza cibernetica e l'importanza del coinvolgimento delle comunità sottorappresentate nel settore. 3. Apertura e Trasparenza Dimostra apertura nel riconoscere le sfide e l'urgenza di affrontarle, enfatizzando l'importanza della trasparenza e dell'accountability nella difesa cibernetica. 4. Approccio Accessibile Utilizza un linguaggio accessibile e esempi concreti per spiegare concetti complessi legati alla cybersecurity, rendendo il discorso comprensibile per un pubblico più ampio. Difetti 1. Poca Profondità Tecnica Mentre il discorso è accessibile, manca di una discussione più approfondita su alcune delle sfide tecniche specifiche nel campo della cybersecurity. 2. Mancanza di Specificità Non fornisce dettagli specifici su piani d'azione concreti o soluzioni proposte per affrontare le sfide nel campo della cybersecurity. 3. Limitata Diversità di Esempi Potrebbe arricchire il discorso includendo una più ampia varietà di esempi e casi di studio relativi alle minacce cibernetiche e alle iniziative di difesa in diversi contesti. Articolo sull'Analisi del Discorso di Harry Ker L'Importanza della Cybersecurity e la Protezione dell'Infrastruttura Critica Nel video dell'evento a Washington DC, l'US National Cyber Director Harry Ker esprime in modo chiaro e coinvolgente l'importanza della cybersecurity e della protezione dell'infrastruttura critica. Ker sottolinea l'urgente necessità di coinvolgere il settore privato, il governo e le comunità sottorappresentate nella difesa cibernetica. Durante il suo intervento, ha evidenziato qualità significative e alcune aree di miglioramento. Qualità Evidenziate Chiarezza nel Messaggio e Coinvolgimento del Pubblico Ker ha trasmesso il suo messaggio in modo chiaro e diretto, evidenziando le minacce attuali alla sicurezza cibernetica e l'importanza di coinvolgere le comunità sottorappresentate nel settore. Il suo coinvolgimento attivo del pubblico, attraverso esempi concreti e un linguaggio accessibile, ha reso il discorso comprensibile per un pubblico più ampio. Apertura, Trasparenza e Approccio Accessibile Il National Cyber Director ha dimostrato apertura nel riconoscere le sfide e l'urgenza di affrontarle, enfatizzando l'importanza della trasparenza e dell'accountability nella difesa cibernetica. Il suo approccio accessibile ha reso la discussione su concetti complessi della cybersecurity più accessibile al pubblico. Possibili Miglioramenti Approfondimento Tecnico e Specificità Nonostante la chiarezza nel suo discorso, Ker avrebbe potuto arricchire ulteriormente la discussione includendo una maggiore profondità tecnica e dettagli specifici su piani d'azione concreti o soluzioni proposte per affrontare le sfide nel campo della cybersecurity. Diversità di Esempi e Casi di Studio Un'ulteriore area di miglioramento potrebbe includere una più ampia varietà di esempi e casi di studio relativi alle minacce cibernetiche e alle iniziative di difesa in diversi contesti, per offrire una prospettiva più completa e diversificata. Conclusioni In conclusione, il discorso di Harry Ker ha catturato l'attenzione sull'importanza della cybersecurity e della protezione dell'infrastruttura critica, ma esistono aree di miglioramento che potrebbero arricchire ulteriormente la discussione. L'apertura, il coinvolgimento del pubblico e la chiarezza del messaggio sono pregi significativi, e un focus più approfondito su soluzioni specifiche e una maggiore diversità di esempi potrebbero migliorare ulteriormente la completezza e la ricchezza del suo discorso.
