What to Learn Before Cyber Security

I literally get asked every week What To Learn Before Cyber Security? If I had to do it all over and only had a few months to get a new job in cybersecurity, these are the skills I would be focusing on.

Just discovered your channel - there's so much value in your videos. Thank you.

[@NicolasMoy]

So glad you found it valuable! Please considering sharing with a friend

[@kambamvinod9002]

Awesome explanation Nick. Just saw your video you posted two years before and I got landed up to this one. I’m in the same situation now, like you were there before you got transitioned to Cybersecurity. Your videos gives me the clarity what to do next.

[@NicolasMoy]

Glad they helped!

[@tambakherohit]

Watched your video on getting laid off as VP - Cyber Security and good to see you working at EY now. More power to you brother. ♥ from India.

[@NicolasMoy]

Thanks man

[@Takeonm]

Love the real world examples and topic segments. Very helpful

[@NicolasMoy]

Thanks for watching!

[@WaseemTariqq]

Thanks for providing this information ℹ️, it's really useful and helpful.

[@nordythenorthman]

I heard that cybersecurity is not really an entry level career field and that it’s geared towards those who are already working in IT. I’m looking to go into computer networking and learn the job as much as I can and then transition into cybersecurity.

[@NicolasMoy]

Sounds like a decent plan for you!

[@namoraxo]

Great video! The algorithm brought me here and I’m newly subscribed. I’m looking forward to more of your content. This video alone was super reaffirming.

Hi nic, im recently, just moving into it security. I have background in it. Im ex forces (UK) and most of my colleagues have went into GRC, now this falls under cyber security but its a much less technicsl role. Id say its more about people skills. I have been reccomended to do the comptia net+ instead of the ccna as apparently its overkill as ill never be touching a router but its just good to have a foundational knowledge of it and to prove it to your employer. Along with sec + and then down the line your CISSP. My point being in compliance working towards frameworks like iso27001 you don't really need to know the technical stuff just a general understanding of what your asking?

[@NicolasMoy]

People skills definitely play a big role in what we do!

[@bryanrupp6785]

Just started my bachelors for cyber security so I have 3-4 years before I look for a job, since my job (Walmart) is paying for me to go to school. Would it be recommended to get certifications early or wait closer to when I graduate. A lot of good advice I’ll be following in this video. 👍🏼

[@NicolasMoy]

Don't wait to get certified! If you can squeeze it in and have the bandwidth go for it. The study material will likely be similar to your college courses, you'll be able to knock out two for one!

[@BigDaddy4Real]

Very good video

[@indrapun6347]

Thank you !

[@NicolasMoy]

You're welcome!

[@DallasFort1857]

Should i major in cybersecurity or cloud computing from WGU?

[@Wooden_pillars_]

Great video, do you have a follow up where you go into a deep dive into the information covered here? Grinding out the basics.

[@NicolasMoy]

Yes I am working through some additional video content on this. Please subscribe and be sure to hit the bell icon so you can be alerted when those are released.

I got so bored in my last field of work, forklift and plant engineer, made a move to a company that does quite a bit of Lithium ion kit but the majority of their kit is actually old dirty diesel kit so was misled there. That ended just before Christmas, I've been getting into IT/cybersecurity and hoping to make a change soon. The biggest challenge is exactly this, what to do, what certs to get etc. Currently doing a level 3 course whatever that means, once done I will get the voucher to do A+ Net+ and Sec+, but it seems it's staggered and has to be done within 12 months... Thanks for the content.

Why do you use two desk? Is one behind you is your game computer?😀

[@NicolasMoy]

The other desk is actually my wife's. Our office is a little smaller so we had to setup our desks this way but I think it compliments the background quite nicely. 😄

[@mango-gu5xo]

[@MrDeapGamingMedia]

Arduino is the cheapest option to learn computers.

[@NicolasMoy]

Thanks for the recommendation 👍

[@khnykaq8823]

blah-blah-blah-blah.... wasting of time((( I would prefer something like : you mast know computers - here is the book ot the site to read about. or the video on youtube, the course here or there.. and so on

Thanks for watching 👍

Let me help you. Before getting into cybersecurity you should pass at least one English Language Arts class.
