[@curtiss4981]

Governance, risk, and compliance would be a good area to look at. You need to be able to work with the business and IT. Being able to convert "we could get hacked" into financial (and other) impact's that executive management and the board understands as an example. You need a high level conceptual understanding of the tech side as a minimum and be able to lean on others as required. You do ultimately need to have a solid technical understanding but GRC is an area you can start in from a business background.

Hello! I am currently a masters of accounting student and graduate this May. I start my IT audit career at an accounting firm this July. I was planning on starting an online degree in either network engineering or cloud computing from WGU. I plan on taking the CISA exam this summer and work in IT audit for 1-2 years to get experience in the field and transition over to network engineering or cloud computing. If I am interested in cyber security which degree would you recommend and which has the highest career growth potential? Thank you for another banger video, new sub to the channel!

[@UnixGuy]

hey Jovani, getting an IT Audit at an accounting firm is an excellent start!! If you’re interested in cyber security then I see no reason for u to do either cloud or network engineering as those are different fielda on their own.

I’m 34, I work in technical support for a tech company. A sort of tier 2 support above the regular support where we specialise in one area. I’ve no computer science background and can’t code (I studied accounting and finance as a degree and didn’t like it which is why I’ve worked in tech support for 7 years). So I fear my background may be quite weak but I’m very interested in CS because it seems similar to some extent in how it’s chaos, and every problem can be quite different and requires troubleshooting based off your own learned knowledge. So there’s some skills there but would you think I’d be wasting my time trying to move into CS given my age and background as there is a lot of push for younger people to get into this and so a lot more competition against people who have a more computer science background. Thanks for your videos. They really are helpful!

[@231redbird]

Have to opportunity to head into university or start working for certificates and I really don’t know which one is better this case. Struggling just thinking about it

[@UnixGuy]

both are valid choices, if you can afford university do it

[@tiptrcks3960]

I need some help, I am currently in University in 2nd semester, 6 more to go but I am extremely willing to learn penetration testing till my graduation, I have search lots and lots of videos, blogs etc and they say that 1st step is to learn networking and maybe together with linux? but I dont know why but networking seems so boring! can you suggest me someway to take a network course like network+ certification(probably not for certification for now, but for knowledge) in an engaging manner? if you did learn networking what was your way of learning it? as for just getting knowledge do i have to markdown important points on paper? I dont know my mid is just going crazy just thinking about how to properly learn networking, Any tips from would be greatly appreacited Thanks!

Can I get a cybersecurity remote job from a different continent?

[@UnixGuy]

I answered this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3mnn6ydjNual6s

[@lakshmansingh3162]

after gaining the knowledge can we apply to companies without getting any certificate related to cybersecurity but we do have the knowledge regarding that subject.

[@UnixGuy]

not only you can, but you should! I explained it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoOtmpZuq6iimqc

[@matthewparsons9407]

In one of your previous videos, you stated that there are a number of employers who will not hire you if you don't have a degree. What percentage of employers would you say that is? Also would perhaps just an associate's degree work in addition to the NYU stuff?

[@UnixGuy]

its impossible to guess the percentage but I can tell you more and more companies now dont care about degrees! yes the NYU can definitely help alongside NYU courses

[@nandikollaanilkumar4845]

Sir can your please share a link to where to learn splunk

[@UnixGuy]

[@zach.intech]

Is the Google Cybersecurity cert more important the courses at NYU?

[@UnixGuy]

hey Zack, when I created this video the google cyber cert wasnt released yet! I’d choose the google cyber cert over NYU :)

[@shubham4328]

which job profile pays better Soc Analyst or Penetration tester?

[@UnixGuy]

they both can pay well, big money comes when you’re good at your job, have experience and niche skills

[@user-zs2fn7ln5j]

Do you a high end spects computer to learn cyber security analyst? What is the minimum spects of a computer in order to learn SOC

[@UnixGuy]

Nope, whatever you can afford is fine

[@user-zs2fn7ln5j]

Thank you! This thing is really bothering me if I decided to learn cyber security analyst. Since high school this is the knowledge that I want to acquire . Co'z someday I want to protect the privacy of every people to keep them safe from any harm! Even if it takes me years, and years and years. This is what I want! and I don't want to pay the Bill of regret if I didn't do it today. Thank you po!😊
