Why most beginners fail at Cyber Security

I was cheated and robbed by cyber criminals, so I am talking up this cyber security course to trace and catch them, can I accomplish this??

this is just great life advice overall, i agree 100%

I did exactly the same mistake. Took my CEH cert. and did internship on AppSec to get into pentesting side. Now, I am struggling to get into the permanent job role. Can u suggest any others ways to get a permanent job?

Great advice: as a cybersecurity novice this gave me excellent food for thought. Thanks!

Hi im age 27 and am taking a degree in cybersecurity next year, without any prior knowledge in IT. Is it gonna be a tough battle against younger folks who already had prior experience?

Is a cybersecurity analyst a demanding job?

Very valuable, thank you!

I am a engineering Student doing computer science and design.i want to get into cyber security field as i now doing free courses in cisco. What should I do man

Thank you. I needed to hear this.

Hi Unixguy . I’ve just stumbled across your videos and have consumed everything I can find. Thank you for efforts. I’m almost 20 years into law enforcement, but I have a passion for tech , digital forensics and cybersecurity security. I’m currently considering a career move but, seems I’ll take a pay drop to get my foot in the door. I suppose that’s fair as 20 years, lots of experience and a supervisor position can’t be expected on day one . I think I can make it work and my partner is on board but the “grass isn’t always greener “ adage is giving me pause for thought. A digital forensics company has offered me a job , acquiring and analysing data from mobile devices with a view to move on to computers and communication cell site analysis. I plan on taking the Google cybersecurity certification, Blue team 1 , certification and some of the others you recommended. Hope is not my idea of a strategy but I believe I can work hard and success is possible . Your videos have helped me set a path for myself .

I am struggling to learn about cybersecurity and here you are earning like $200-500k per year and knowing so much. Mind you I live in Australia so I don't know if what you discuss I can relate.

Hello Sir, I started my cybersecurity certification a few days ago, however I'm little worry regarding that certification would put me into cybersecurity industry after completion or not. For a beginner like me, is it worthy? Can I get an entry level job? Please give me some tips which can help me as beginner. I hope to hear from you.

I did that "above-and-beyond" thing. Several years later, I was still stuck with the same pay but more work load outside of my main scope. When I asked for a raise, the answer I got was "there's no ladder to climb". When I finished my cyber degree and got a few certs under my belt, the IT director asked my boss if I could intern for IT and it was denied. So am I too good at my job that my boss can't let me go but not good enough to deserve a raise? I eventually scaled back and just stuck to my work scope.

True thing is "it depends".
I am too a person who tend to study a lot during my job and, yes, it's a pity cause I get I'm not 100% focused. My range is more like 50-95%, with spikes when I'm required to work on urgent stuff. I'm seen as a person who "is there" when needed but I cannot be the one who, when there's some free time, stick there not doing anything or just re-check anything in the company...my minds fly and I want to study.

Analyzing myself in total transparency, though, I can tell that this is due to the fact that I don't like that much what I do and I'd love to have a switch....The issue being is that I'm not ready to switch and I would hardly gain the same amount of money.
I'm a non-tech business analyst and my struggle is due to the fact that I wanna learn tech stuff (and I do) but then I hardly find opportunities to use them, ending with sensation that I cannot do anything practical.
What I do could be done by a 16 yearold teen if he applies himself...I just have to use my mind, study the platform and getting to understand what can, what cannot do, how there may be some blank spots, having to do with customer and custom-projects....something which is thought as more valuable but less satisfying overall

I am starting a career in machine learning and your tips helped me a lot

Sir what is the road map for working in bank in cybersecurity

I've decades experience in logistics line... Thinking whether to invest in supply chain degree which might push me higher and more salary but I stumbled upon cyberscurity and think deeply due to the gadgets and technologies getting advanced
quickly... Im now torn between continuing my degree in supply chain and continue my line😞 or jump ship but I'm totally zero knowledge in IT. Or cyberscurity diploma and go further..... Help!!!! I'm willing to learn!!!!!! Should I forsake supply chain degree and jump to certifications and diploma in cyber security... Or take both?? 😢

I quit in my current job as a teacher because of toxicity and its eating me up. Now I am trying to get back up trying to learn new things may it be cybersecurity or pentesting from scratch. Which one should I focus more? Did I made the right decision from quitting from that job?

How do I start learning cyber security. I really want to learn

Excellent advice! Thank you!

Cool video.

If people yell make for the door ...

You are so correct.. i am starting a new job in a manual labor position however..they have many many other positions and possibilities within the company.. i am starting my cybersecurity journey around the same time as my new position.. and I will work hard.. do my job well ...balance it with mybonline courses....not obsess and hopefully when the time is right apply to a IT cybersecurity position within the same company. I am sure day one for me is everything 😅

Grateful to have come across your platform.

May be starting small business with enough knowledge of cyber security hit different i think so .also may be i will takes this step in future when am unable to find work in cyber sec companies

Hey i have completed my graduation on commerce field and i want to start my journey in cyber security. Is it possible ? If yes then from where should i start ?

hey, i just turned 18 and im going to get my ged soon. i think cybersecurity can be a facinating field for me and im just trying to find out where to start!

I interviewed for an entry-level networking job, and they overemphasized certifications, but I think that they were just trying to eliminate me. I told them upfront that I was not certified in the first interview and they said it was fine because they would train me, and pushed me through to the next round. When I got to the second interview, all of a sudden, my lack of certifications became a problem, and that was the end of that.

cyber security is not that hard

Never commented on a video before, but had to on this one. Great video! Thank you for uploading this.

what kind of person would you advise to work in cyber security for? i dont know which field to choose!

this is great advice. I am currently doing the opposite. so thanks for the heads up.

Hi, i'm curently a student in Mathematics and computer science in France, i move to Montreal next year and i'm going to start the google certification, i was wondering if you think it's possible to do some contracts like web threat analysis or some audits of website small contrat for small compagny to build some money, skills, practical etc with the study appart of the ''free lance pentest/ audit thing ?" and when i know i have enought knowledge to start ? bc i learn from lot of website try hack me, root me etc but i still don't know if it's enought to do some audit or pentest ?
What do you think ?

Ive never done cyber security.. but i am interested the work.. can anyone learn cyber security at 34 years of age ?

This may be a broad sounding question without a ton of context but I have the opportunity for full tuition to get a bachelors. Very interested in tech and currently am a network lineman for fiber/coax. Interested I tech for many reason but especially the pay. Which degree do you think is the best to get in tech?

wow... amazing.. greetings fro Brazil 😁

Hello everyone, I am starting at my university next semester with the bachelors program in cyber security. Will assist me in getting my certifications as well as a degree. I’m very excited and would like to ask if there’s any tips anyone has for someone in my shoes!

Am thinking of going into cyber security but it dont seem the right way when i dont have any experiences in that area

Hello UGuy I am starting and I would love to contact you on a 101 you do have insight into this and I will be grateful for what I would learn in this exchange.Thank you (s.o.s (fr)pls)

Says the guy with NINE certifications.

I appreciate you cyber-miagi ooos 😁

I work for MSSP with high turnover and he is 100% correct just staying around a little longer that everyone else is a big opportunity to move up. UnixGuy right about the grass being greener!

Hey, what do you recommend one to major in (cybersecurity or cyber forensics) if their interested in having a career more closely related to the the field of cyber forensics but at the same time wants to have a more variety of career choices (which cybersecurity can offer)?

Thank you. That is a true life advice.

Thank you for the video. I am currently somewhat in the same situation , however, I will be getting my promotion to a Senior Analyst role despite my continuous interest and day in day out study/practice of Application pentesting (out of working hours). My current organization does not have any pentesting role in any department. I am in a drastic decision situation - should I stay or should I pursue Pentesting.

stealing legals jobs u mean
