I would add one more to it, documentation is very important you won't remember everything but this will help to you learn more and give more to community

[@dccybersec]

10000%

[@Anthony.hillary]

Is documentation a course too

[@KOPharaoh]

So working on remembering, recalling, and or maybe analyzing data is needed too; is that what you're saying?

[@jadyason]

I would add Risk Management (for example risk appetite and and control frameworks) as something helpful as to WHY you are doing things. For example: Why do we need a pen test? Why are these findings important and why should we care.

[@dccybersec]

Nice addition!

[@user-jk8kn3ij8o]

Can’t say there’s ever been a need or importance although the reason why we should care is because caring provides a layer of security in accordance to respective risk management strategies and promotes proven protections of safety through the better implementation of protocols and procedures as well as applications which helps all of these systems, have a certain confidence in the accountability process of the security of their networks, which can be used for a better understanding or assessment if there ever happens to be a breach of their security systems thought to protect their networks. Therefore allowing for a broader scope of information to allow the cybersecurity practitioner to make better decisions on how and where vulnerabilities may or may not be present as to minimise the risks, with their expertise from a technological standpoint.

[@jonarmarzan]

I agree with this for certain paths of Cybersecurity but not for all

[@unitedkingdom680]

Why so? Can you explain which paths this advice is good for and which it is not

[@NeonPhlox]

cannot stress programming enough because I've heard from multiple people "you don't need to know how to code to use the tools" and whilst true you can be an analyst without programming but your skills will be behind your peers and people will notice, if you're serious about getting into cybersec make sure you have skills in software engineering

[@dccybersec]

Absolutely! Especially if you're a pentester. Coding knowledge definitely comes in handy

[@JamesLucas-ic6nl]

Thanks

[@dccybersec]

Always a pleasure mate

[@CyberSecGRC]

These are awesome tips! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@dccybersec]

You are so welcome!

[@KOPharaoh]

Got it! Question (for anyone to answer), how long do you think it'll take a bookworm to read and actually retain the information after studying it. Reading and studying are two different things. And or how long did it take you to finish learning enough to become functional and competent enough to proceed ahead and work in the field you studied (anyone can answer)?

[@dccybersec]

6-12 months on average is what I see most people taking to undergo a set of courses towards getting something entry level. The ultimate key to success is work experience

[@KOPharaoh]

@@dccybersec Projects and Group Projects? And 6-12 months sounds fair. That's enough time if you laser in and have a good consistent schedule.

[@KOPharaoh]

@@dccybersec Thx!

I learned networking on school, switch from win to linux wasnt hard cuz i was already playing with cmd on primary school ( 1 or second grade) now i can write bash scripts, python, csharp, id like to learn c but its probably really hard, but shouldnt be so hard and i decided to learn more cybersecurity then programming which i will probably use, but its logical, easy and you just need to know what to do(naturally) and you kind of can say if you are good or not and i know i never will be some national state opsec professional

[@lj3d]

C is easy to learn, but difficult to use

[@corpuzone]

Thanks brotha. Good to know I have networking and phyton (little) understanding. My Linux is not good since I never really dabbled. Does it depend on what domain of cybersecurity though? I read there are more technical and less technical sides so something for everyone.

[@dccybersec]

Absolutely man, it depends on what area of cybersecurity you're hoping to get into!

[@mlsandreas]

Great tips, thank you!

[@dccybersec]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Medone1807]

Network ,Linux ,Programming

[@dccybersec]

[@campusevangelism1859]

Useful content, Most jobs hasn't earned me enough at 21. How about books for that?

[@dccybersec]

Books for what? How to earn more money before you turn 21?

[@dennisreynolds9202]

I got a cybersecurity fundamentals certificate & Networking cable certification. Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing.

[@dccybersec]

Definitely a good start!

[@dennisreynolds9202]

@dccybersec got an interview next Friday. But to be honest I feel like I don't know anything.

[@bikramshiwakoti]

What are the gateways or certifications need to be done to land into cyber security job as SOC analyst or Pentester in Australia?

[@dccybersec]

You're probably looking at the CompTIA CySA+, as well as the Microsoft SZ900 as a base for SOC. For pentesting, the OSCP is the one to go for

[@bikramshiwakoti]

@@dccybersec Do you mean Exam SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals? Thank you so much for your suggestion and recommendation

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Nice I appreciate this! I live in the US and I thought about moving to Australia so is there a lot of jobs in both IT and Cybersecurity in Australia or no?

[@dccybersec]

Absolutely there is! There are heaps of jobs in Australia

[@nirajkc224]

As I am an absolute beginner,I want to know how does cryptography and hashing algorithms fits into the field of cybersecurity?

[@dccybersec]

usually within the encryption methods area

[@BobbyPinard]

Linux! I love Linux! 🐧

[@dccybersec]

Hell yeh!

[@cynthiaadams4322]

Thank you for sharing

[@dccybersec]

Thanks for watching!

[@yuosefjan9478]

Ok sir thanks but what after the basics or foundation of cyber security ?

[@dccybersec]

Focus on a pathway towards a job goal, for example; - Offensive security - Defensive security Have a look at the jobs listed under each of those headings, aim for it, then take a look at what needs to be completed to get there. Worth noting, this is exactly what I help with in our regular guidance/ coaching sessions in learn.saferinternetproject.com

[@wiish.4608]

What about power shell?

[@dccybersec]

Powershell is great for administering m365 environments but as far as languages go, if you can call powershell a language, python would be my go to for versatility

[@user-xj7lw8yl7l]

Outstanding proposal

[@dccybersec]

Thanks

[@zach.intech]

what about IT fundamentals?

[@AdrianPatten]

💯

[@dccybersec]

This would be after the IT fundamentals

[@user-rb6hf7xe2c]

[@makarsh29]

Bro, is that's enough to get a job in cyber security. If no then what are other essentials......???

[@dccybersec]

It’s enough to get yourself started. If you want experience though, which is the best thing when applying for work, head to www.saferinternetproject.com

[@tabbzable]

Is Cyber Security worth a try for 40yr old beginner??Im interested but I’m currently on Computer fundamentals beginners course.Any advice would really help.Thanks!

[@dccybersec]

Yes, definitely! It's never too late to start mate

[@ChrisMasFlow]

I’m 31, father of 3 kids, in May I recently was hired as a cybersecurity SOC analyst intern. I don’t have a degree nor certificates. It’s never too late, you just have to show companies you are willing to learn and want to grow in the field. Best of luck

[@Cyber_Garuda319]

I know all of these 😅. Learning server side (SQL)

[@dccybersec]

Hell yeah!

[@chiedoziehenry4778]

Can you teach me about cyber security?

[@thelongestleg]

I've been told sql is vital in cyber security

[@dccybersec]

Hardly. SQL is a technology you'll come across when pentesting websites (sometimes), but it's hardly vital.

[@yako944]

good content DC

[@dccybersec]

Cheers mate!

[@blidge8282]

The zeroth tip is "Don't trust the user"

[@dccybersec]

haha I like this

[@max_trackz]

Just a question, does getting education from a vocational college (cyber security courses) gurantee getting a secured job in Australia???

[@dccybersec]

No, but it certainly helps a lot! The majority of recruiters in Australia are asking employees seeking a role in cybersecurity to have prior IT experience, for example network engineering, systems administration, even service desk resposibilities

[@max_trackz]

@@dccybersec so if someone opted for vocational education, what would be ur advice from then on ???

[@sachinbhosle1217]

I wish to know.. someone with a complete Google cybersecurity certification.. can he or she get employed ????

Probably not with just that certification. It depends on experience more than anything
