[@jayvet8402]

Do you think CISM is a smart idea if you have 10 to 15 years of executive experience in another field and doing a mid life transition along with your course, Google, and Security plus? Also, does your course and Google prepare you completely for Security plus or will you need to do additional resources?

[@mar-17905]

Your course seems really cool with a very good array of knowledge. I just wanted to know if you provide student discounts for the course?

[@olawaleajibola1132]

Hello If I am interested to go into Devsecops... what certification is best for me

[@MoJoActual]

Awesome information, I have been a sysadmin for 6 years and trying to break into the cyber security realm. I just passed my Sec+ in Sept and working on my CySA+ now.

[@cyberlocc]

Being a Sysadmin for 6 years puts you in line for CISSP. I would just do that..

[@CNC_Freddy787]

I love how self-less you are in mentoring us on our cybersecurity and tech journey. Thank you Sir!

[@bryanh3057]

CYBER , and this was super helpful. Thank you!

[@rohitsaravanan3203]

CYBER Strongly agree with the graph and explanation you made sir

Just got out of active duty and currently trying to get into the cyber security world. Really want to thank you for your help

[@rawdeezy7470]

Thanks for putting this video together Josh! I’ve been watching your content for months now and it’s been really inspirational for getting me to pivot to a cyber career.

[@johnjones6566]

Me personally I would go for anything that’s a baseline DOD requirement.

[@chasekilpatrick6730]

just starting my cybersecurity career and just looking forward to watching your videos to learn about cyber

[@madhatistaken]

CISSP is THE Goat 💚Splendid analysis good sir

[@JoshMadakor]

Haha thanks! And yeah, the number of people reaching out was very super noticeable after I got cissp 🤯. But I didn’t feel “smarter” after getting it lol. CCNA made me feel smart though 😂

[@17ThisGuy38]

I think the CCNA or even the CompTIA N+ are also good certs to have in addition to the CyberSec certs. I managed to get into CyberSec with just a Security+ cert but while in the field I quickly realized that having an understanding of how networks work even if you don't know how to configure them greatly helped in my career

[@0xkakachi]

CYBER Thank you for the video sir..just I am in eager what will be in the future SKILL VS CERTS

[@didemyasin]

Thank you! Cyber :)

[@presequel]

nice video, great content! i have 6 of these certs, but still i find it difficult to compare this 1on1. the oscp f.e. is a totally different cert than crisc. i have them both, but the knowledge, work and mentality is real different. the cissp is without a doubt the gold standard for cyber security, but for pentesting the oscp is on the same level, while for example the CCNA (which is on my list to get) is more of an basic allrounder. tbh in europe where i live i cant remember i have seen any of the comptia certs in job listings, although i think they are great.

[@Bentakill]

Thank you Josh for making these cyber videos. Im going back to school to finish my bachelor. These videos are absolute bangers, please post more. You probably already made this video, but maybe a Roadmap for which certs to get for cyber, like start from a+ - net+ - sec+. Or maybe google cyber cert - sec+ and compare the two roadmaps.

[@lisaamakyeansah]

Hi Josh I have been following you from Ghana and I have watched most of your videos. been trying to break into tech with cybersecurity since the beginning of the year. I am already done with the Google cybersecurity course but I will be signing up for your cybersecurity course in November.

[@jmbhikes6765]

Thank you Josh

[@Geomaverick124]

To be honest the Microsoft Cyber certificate course may be a better accompaniment to your cyber course since it's using Azure...Do both the Google and Microsoft versions if you can but either is great!

[@ai7783]

Do microsoft azure. Many enterprise using its platform

[@jowillie935]

Cyber. Great channel.

Hey I’m trying to get your flash card but it not letting use them on AnkiPro. What do I do?

[@JoshMadakor]

You should be able to just download the free version of anki and import them :)

[@brianpaap7046]

So... if there were a credibility aspect introduced, this list would be a little better. Barrier to entry, credibility, proof of capability, etc, would be more fulfilling of a cert list. Assuming all things are equal, this is great! Understanding they arent, nuance is necessary. I have ISC2 CC, Sec+, CYSA+, Pentest+, CASP+, and continue to get denied. Why? Real technical experience. What can I do? Well... nothing, BUT I HAVE CERTS LOOK! The Pentest+ is a barrier to entry cert for a position, but I'd need OSCP (proof of capability) to prove I'm worth being considered. (Outside of a portfolio, and other types of co sidersble experience).

[@Animoh-]

Great info! Thanks

[@cyberlocc]

I have never heard of Pentest+ being a barrier to entry cert? If you want to be in red teaming you need an OSCP, thats pretty much just reality. What's funny, is that I worked in IT 12 years ago, with goals to become a PT. At the time, I had Cybersec friends, and PT mentors and even then it was OSCP if you wanted to be a PT. Fast forward, a career change (still did IT work in other job) and back into IT, and that dream is alive again. Backtrack became Kali, and OSCP is still required. So much changes and so much stays the same. And thats a large reality with these Certs, why do OSCP, Security Plus, and CISSP hold so much weight? Because they held that same weight 12 years ago. And that statement, of being the gold standard 12 years ago, was also true then. All these news certs, new courses, ect they will never match Certs that have been the gold standard since the 90s, they can't, too much time too much knowledge of their existence.

[@CK-mi2rv]

Your cyber course seems very well made and good for recruiters because of all the practicality, someone asked this below as well but any thoughts on BTL1?

[@JoshMadakor]

I heard that BLT1 is really good from a few reputable people! I’m looking forward to trying it out ^^

[@samsmusichub]

Hey thanks.

[@acueviousfields1795]

Hey Josh amazing video I wanted to ask if you have made a video about the roles of cloud computing the ones that are not as coding heavy? Alot of the roles I see or very broad ones

[@zach.intech]

I honestly think the blue & red team certs are the most important ones after passing the Comptias . SANS institute have made me reconsider my portions since I am very hungry to learn more about out their quality materials. But they are very expensive ugh 😩

[@user-xi6kq3yi8i]

Is ejpt worth to do my first certificate for pentester jobs

[@DallasFort1857]

Can you make a similar video within the cloud engineering sector of IT.. comparing the different certs and vendors i. e Azure, AWS, Goggle etc

[@beyonderaatrox1670]

I feel like now more than ever is the best time to get into CYBER security lol. So many resurces and guides make it idiot proof (perfect for me 😂)

[@arnold6530]

Big fan of your videos. How do you feel about the BLT1 in comparison to your course? Would love to do both but I am curious is all. I have about 6.5 years of experience and am looking to move into a Cloud Security role in the near future ideally.

[@Dan-ye5dm]

If you’ve got 6.5 years of experience, go straight for CCSP & vendor certs imo.

[@scorpionsoul10]

CYBER Thank you again for this wonderful share!. I have GCIH, GSEC and currently job hunting. Would you recommend CISSP at this stage or should I continue building skills...blue team labs etc? Or perhaps you course? 😁

[@ai7783]

Please find a job asap. Hand on experience is the most useful (cyber analyst here)

[@Xbot4Life]

Do you ever have sales on your course, Josh?

[@JoshMadakor]

I have a discount code of JOSH10, hehe

[@Xbot4Life]

@@JoshMadakor Awesome, thanks!

[@MwangiMusic]

Cyber Another great video! Definitely want to combine Comptia Security+ with your Cybersecurity course since I just completed the google cybersecurity certificate. Do you have a discount code for your course by any chance? Please let me know, Thank you Josh!

[@cjmurray7959]

So you would recommend ccna over network+?

[@alhajiconteh3004]

Just curious what does your course covers?

[@Nikoolayy1]

I personally don't like CEH as anyone who has it tells me it is pointless and this is why I went with Pentest+ to have basic knowledge in pentesting as I need it but I don't need to be full Pentester as I am blue team all day as OSCP is the way to go for pentesters.

[@tenmillionbyforty324]

hey josh, hope your having a good night and enjoying some good anime. Please, make a general IT tier list, like an indepth 30 minute version included, cisco(ccna,ccnp,ccie), AWS(solutions), Microsoft, google, comptia, cisssp, gsec. There is literally not a video or list on the entire internet. Thanks.

[@MrJme3192]

I want to add a cyber certificate to my resume. That said I’m trying to decide which one a lot of recommend security+ but i am curious about the google cybersecurity certification.

[@WiseFocus0446]

Thank you Josh for this..I saw that Cisco has free Ethical Hacker course @Cisco Skills for All. #Cyber

[@ethanford7428]

Starting my cyber degree at wgu in December!

[@innocentrage1]

Start it, get an internship, get a job and quit. Experience trumps all unless it's your first degree then stick with it

[@MainManMart]

would it be better go get general IT BS with all these certs to go into cybersecurity and if I want to change to cloud I have the IT general, or is it better to go for Cybersecurity get these certs as well and stick to that, if in 10 years I want to switch to cloud would the cybersecurity degree even matter? If not can I just get cloud certs in that situation?

[@Hiyu5K]

Hey Josh, just want to know if I have a unrelated degree and want to get into tech, is it better just to get certs or should i get a bachelors in like IT or something? (Money is not an issue)

Hey Josh hope you're great! What's your opinion on the AZ-500 certification? In your opinion how "valuable" in terms of industry recognition and potentially landing a job in the Cloud Security industry for someone specializing in Azure? Do you think it's worth it or not really? Thanks a lot for all your work, you're the man! (:

What's your opinion on newer relational and non-relational database languages as something to learn to get into cybersecurity?

[@danishishtiaq347]

You didn't mention about PNPT from @TCM

[@JoshMadakor]

Because it doesn’t fit the criteria of the list. Like the google cyber cert, TCMs cert is actually really great, but the frequency of hits isn’t enough yet for this specific list, which is based on frequency 👍
