Cyber Security is the fastest growing sector in I.T. AND you can make a lot of money in this field💰. Are you interested in this field and why? If you are already in this field, what is your experience?

[@keidronmiller7273]

Hey now.. The reason why I'm interested is because I'm a Police Officer, and I want a technical challenge in a field that makes me feel like I still in law enforcement, because I believe it's a calling of mines.. Therefore I'm thinking this is a good path and start.

[@kdking6288]

You gave more some very beneficial information. Thank you bruh. I'm sitting at my desk right now as a Order Processor. 38 years old. And I have to make a change. This is not the life. I swear I'm going to work on this.

[@masonhill8420]

Amazing video! It is very informative and to the point, thank you!

[@v_rizm274]

Great content! I am currently a senior about to finish my MIS degree. Watching your video has given me more insight into the career I’m potentially going to be in. Keep posting more content for MIS, these video can really help people in this field get more exposure about certain jobs pertaining to this degree.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Thank you, I certainly will!

[@romanxxxx]

love the content bro!

[@tpeterson9140]

solid video. straight to the points. good information. like ur vibe. subbed for more

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Awesome

[@siamakt4168]

first step is learn basic and concept of Security (Security+) Linux Administration as the basics CEH Certificate (Beginner technical and also more theoretical approach, with limited hands-on labs) but i strongly recommend go for OSCP if you're looking to become a pentester. Will teach you much more in the technical aspects than any of the other options. i recently finished CEH v10 Certified Ethical Hacker Book by Ric Messier and also practiced main topics on Virtual and Real environment. i also taken Security+, Network+, Linux+ and Lpic1 courses. one of my friend advised me that i should go for coding if i want to expand my knowledge about security. i started c++ three month ago.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Thanks for always contributing your knowledge to these subjects based on your first hand experience. Much appreciation!

[@hebsparklingwater2842]

Great video!

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Thanks

[@PureXtasy]

I came to a decision that I want to study cyber security and i’m so scared. I just hope I can secure a job after getting my degree in cyber security 😭

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Hi Desiree, the only reason you won't be able to secure a job is if you don't try or have any experience. Try to gain as much experience in your personal time as well and seek certifications.

[@shriyasundaresha4342]

Question: I have post graduation in Commerce and want to change my career path and I'm interested to be an Information Security Analyst. So could you please guide me from where to start? It would be a great help indeed.

[@nuureTUBE]

Can you do a video comparing what Information Security Analyst, Cyber Security, and Cyber defense are? I got confused about these similar majors. Currently I’m majoring in collage as Cyber Defense CCIS2536 in Hennepin Technical Collage. Please search it and let me know what the difference are. My advisor doesn’t seem to know the difference as my collage only has that Cyber Defense major

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Thanks for the suggestion. It may be best for you to research it as my video backlog is 2 months. Cheers!

[@kenishiagreen]

What's your advice on someone who did not go to school for no type of IT or computer science, but looking to add this to their resume? How would you recommend them to start? Please advise. Thank you!

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Certifications and bootcamps. First you would need to learn what it is that exists out there by conducting research and talking to individuals in the space or hiring a coach or mentor.

[@TechTualChatter]

I think they salary is outdated the avg salary is trending towards 90ish for entry level (depending on company)

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Yes quite possible. Bls has it at $103k. US news has it at $87k. I went with what i was able to find.

[@TechTualChatter]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown yeah through my research and many interviews over the past year I’ve found out that all the prices have went up. I’ll be checking out more of your content. Keep up the good work 💪🏽

[@ODIZZLE]

👍🏾✔️✌🏾

[@maxbell9723]

Money and autonomy are important for me so should I aim to do information/cyber security, software engineering, or data science?

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Software engineering would give you a strong foundation, autonomy, money, society status and will also allow you to pivot to other areas as well.

[@jconti0727]

Hello! I was looking at ISA as a career option, but I had a few questions. 1. Is it extremely stressful? 2. How difficult is it? 3. What kind of math is there involved (if there is)? 4. Is coding involved in this career?

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

The level of stress involved in a career as an information security analyst can vary depending on the work environment, organization, and specific job duties. Information security is a critical function in today's digital age, and the pressure to ensure the safety of an organization's information can be high. However, many information security analysts find their work to be rewarding and enjoy the challenge of continuously staying on top of emerging threats. The difficulty level of a career as an information security analyst can depend on several factors, such as the level of technical skills required by the job, the complexity of the security systems being used, and the pace of change in the industry. Generally, information security analysts are expected to have a solid understanding of technical security concepts, network architecture, security protocols, and risk assessment methodologies. Math is involved in information security analysis, particularly in areas such as cryptography, algorithms, and data analysis. However, the math involved is typically at a moderate level and is often more focused on problem-solving and critical thinking than advanced mathematical concepts. Some knowledge of coding can be helpful in an information security analyst career, particularly if you are working with security systems and tools that require customization or integration. Knowledge of scripting languages, such as Python or Bash, is particularly valuable. However, coding is not always required for all information security analyst positions, and some roles may focus more on policy development, risk management, and compliance.

[@StrongestNerd]

Great video!I do have a question, in the real world, can I get a job with just the Security+ certification? I take my test in January & I'm not too confident on landing a job afterwards. I'm currently enrolled in a bachelors program for Cybersecurity as well. If not, any tips or advice for me? Any advice is much appreciated.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Is this the only certification that you have? others. College degrees, etc?

[@StrongestNerd]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown Yes sir, it will be the only certification I have in January. No other degrees, and only thing related is that I've learned the command line.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

According to comptia you certainly can. Start to look at this jobs now to see what companies have as a requirement and try to fill in the gap now with self learning or courses on Udemy or Coursera. www.comptia.org/blog/comptia-security-jobs

[@StrongestNerd]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thank you sir!

[@apriltalkstech]

Question: I'm a Senior majoring in MIS with an IT minor. I want to get into Cybersecurity Policy/Analytics. Should I just do the cert as you suggested or do you think a Master's in Cybersecurity-Policy would be worth it? Keep in mind, having a Master's is a personal goal of mine if nothing else

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Certs are cheaper and will give you the exposure that you need to work in that area. Get the master's when/if there is a need for it. Always look at a master's as a lever to make a higher salary not just to fulfill a personal goal. Master's are expensive and if you aren't making the money to pay it back they are useless like a tattoo that you care about but nobody else does.

[@apriltalkstech]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown Wow! That’s an amazing way to view it. Thank you so much for responding quickly

[@dub_zombie1795]

If I have an IT degree, Sec+, a secret clearance, with no experience, what jobs could I realistically get? I want to work for the government companies like Northrop or Boeing

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Why don't you have any experience with a security+ and a degree?

[@dub_zombie1795]

Currently I'm in the Air Force and unfortunately not in a Cyber field. I'm a few classes away from my degree and I got the Sec+ not that long ago. I have around 1 a year left before I'm out of the AF.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

@@dub_zombie1795 well you do have experience and you will be able to land a job. Your degree program should have all the jobs that you have the potential to land + more with your cents.

[@eddiejacobs7496]

should I go for my SEC+ first or instantly apply for the job? given that I have a bachelors in CS.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

I believe you should go ahead and apply although it's important to look at the requirements.

IS cyber security and information sencuirty analyst same thing?

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

An information security analyst is a role in cyber security.

[@MirzaTeam-r8g]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown so cyber security is bigger bigger than an information security anylyist? do we have to do major in cybersecurity because I am doing bachelors in computer information science and will in specialize information Information and Computation Assurance

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Cyber security is a field of IT so yes it's bigger. No you don't have to major in cyber security to get into it. You can major in what you are currently and gain certs or take electives in cyber security courses or self teach.
