No problem!

Yes! Great job with the certifications, now it's time to apply your knowledge with practical hands on.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Glad you liked it

Hello, that's awesome! SC-200 is brilliant certification. Check this out during your preparation. detective.kusto.io/ It's a brilliant game to learn KQL and prepare for SC-200 with some hands on.

It's fantastic that you've already earned certifications like CompTIA Security+, SC-900, and AZ-500. These provide a solid foundation in security and Azure. The naming for the roles on the job market might be different, but the responsibilities will be very similar. You can try to look for Security Engineer role and look if there is any requirements for cloud technologies. More roles could be Cloud Security Administrator, IAM Engineer, Security Specialist or perhaps Cloud DevOps Security. The best way to get a job is to get noticed by recruiters. Now it's all about hands on labs and presenting yourself on LinkedIn. Trying to connect with others in similar role in your area.

@@Cyber-Check thanks much.. looking forward to more of your videos

You are very welcomed. I'm glad you liked it!

It won't replace, but it will make SOC more efficient and you might not need so many tier 1 level analyst. On the other experienced analyst will be more in demand with time.

Glad you liked it!

That's awesome news!

Hello, it sounds great honestly. The SC-900 is not really must have in my opinion. Besides compliance you are not learning anything new, but it will be a little bit easier to understand AZ-500 material and pass the exam. Just a small hint, try to focus your projects more on AZ-500 objectives rather than Analyst Cert or even better combine them across all your certs. Could be for example deploying Azure policy from Github repository via Defender for Cloud. github.com/Azure/Microsoft-Defender-for-Cloud/tree/main/Labs

I don't have experience with them

Hi, Congrats on your certifications so far! That's a huge achievement for someone working just 6 months as IT support. It depends what are your goals and options. Do you have any any option to move laterally within the company, where you could use the skills? I don't see an issue studying for this cert (it will probably take you multiple months to prepare for it anyway). If you decide to go for it, I would definitely look for higher position. With everything under your belt, you will have more than enough experience.

@@Cyber-Check I would like to move to cloud support or junior SOC analyst. In South Africa these certs are quite inexpensive they go for $55 my issue mostly is lack of experience and yet all these certs

@@ljns2182 That's awesome! I think you are ready when it comes to work experience and certs. After that you can focus on project related to the job position. That way you can differentiate yourself in an interview.

@@Cyber-Check thank you for response and my last question is the resources you may suggest for labs for example sits I can check or something

👍

Glad it was helpful!

xD

Long live General Aladeeeeen!

Can you elaborate? What exactly is not working for you?

@@Cyber-Check I tried filtering out events using a simple kql query, like dropping a specific windows event or dropping firewall events between 2 IP addresses.

Hi, it's not necessary, but there is a huge overlap. You will use about 50% - 60% of what you have learned in AZ-104 in your AZ-500. It will significantly help you to understand AZ-500 and ace it without any problems.

Reach out to LinkedIn if you want to discuss such thing

@@Cyber-Check Kindly share me the details

Hello, that's interesting. How long did you wait? Sometimes there are big delays with transformation in hours. It's also possible you have multiple workspace transformation rules on different tables. Didn't test it for a while, maybe Microsoft fixed it, but you couldn't have multiple workspace transformation rules. You would have to combine all your rules into one, even for multiple build in tables such as SignInLogs NonInteractive...etc.

It's nice to hear that you are working on the labs. You are dedicated and I'm glad to hear that you are not giving up. Learning is a process. Keep up the good work @CrypTales007

There are many ways to gain knowledge and skills. I respect different opinions. Personally I have done CCNA over network +, but that's because I was working with cisco routers and switches. As cyber security analyst, you don't need to learn how to configure OSPF.

Depends on your career and personal goals. For example I don't think it's necessary for SOC analyst positions. If you inspire to become security consultant, engineer or architect. I think it's an awesome certification to help you get started.

Thank you, you are kind.

Thank you, I will put it on my list and consider making them in the future.

Glad you found it valuable. No problem @CyberBenne

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ouh, I must have used old picture. In my notes for the road map it's correct. Thanks though!

I wouldn't say it's necessary based on time you work in the field. It's just less positions are opened to work fully remotely. With more experience, you have more options. Therefore more position for remote work are available to you. For example, just recently we have hired new SOC analyst without any prior working experience in security. He will be working mostly from home (Once a month visit to office).

@@Cyber-Check wow that sounds amazing , what's your thoughts on getting foot in the door on cyber security? is it crucial to have IT help desk experience for example? I'm coming from construction and plan to do many courses and certificates. will you be considered without any working hours experience in IT even if you have the skills required ?

@@___m16i’m in a similar situation bro coming from civil engineering i’d say that the IT desk experience is not a must. just get the certifications

Yes, absolutely! Actually in our SOC, where the primary SIEM is Microsoft Sentinel, this is the first certification we recommend our analysts to do.

@@Cyber-Check Thanks!

Thank you @tarrycapybara90 I don't think CCNA is necessary if you have Network+. You need networking basics and Network + is more than sufficient. With regards to Azure certifications. AZ-104 before attempting AZ-500, especially if you are new to Azure. Don't worry though. There is overlap. AZ-104 goes into security as well and you will use this knowledge in AZ-500 as well.

Hello Tonny, first of all congratulations on finishing masters in Information Security! That's awesome! I have personally finished my master's degree while working as well and it's not easy task. I completely understand your dilemma. Honestly I would leverage your current role and jumped into senior position in cloud security. I think your best shot, given your knowledge and expertise is DevSecOps. Single certification is plenty and rather focus on hands on projects. There are plenty of opportunities when it comes to DevSecOps. First though, look into the job descriptions for such role, if it's something that would be interesting to you. This role has different seniority with DevSecOps principal architects earning up to 300 000$ a Year.

@@Cyber-Check Thank you for the reply. This is extremely helpful 🙏

You're very welcome!

I agree that CCNA and F5 certifications indeed offer more specialized knowledge and open doors to higher-level positions, but foundational certifications like A+ can still be valuable. It's much harder to prepare for CCNA compare to Network +. Personally CCNA was my first certification, but it's not very beginner friendly, if you are just starting with certs. There cons and pros. Depends how you look at it.

For someone aiming to enter the field of security, the SC-900 certification is more relevant as it focuses specifically on security, compliance, and identity fundamentals in Microsoft environments. This said, you need to understand the general cloud concepts regardless of your role in Cloud. You need to be familiar with the technologies and services that underpin cloud platforms, as this foundational knowledge is crucial for implementing and managing security effectively.

@@Cyber-CheckI’m going to do AZ-900 and then AZ-104 then -AZ-500.

Awesome! I would love to visit Venezuela one day! <3

Glad it was helpful!

What job position are you striving for? The certification will depend from person to person. Do you have any previous experience or certifications?

@@Cyber-Check No, I don't have any previous experience. I took some computer courses in my undergrad like python, cybersecurity and cyber forensics. I've done some certs from cisco and I've completed ISC2's CC. The position I'm striving for is security engineer.

Hello and sorry for the delay. First of all don't worry about comptia Security plus too much. Important is that you have the knowledge for the interview. You could also mention it, that you are studying comptia security plus certification. I didn't have the certification either, when I've started in cyber. With regards to AWS. It's still the most popular cloud provider. This said, if you have never worked in IT, it will be very difficult to get into cloud security. It's not exactly entry level job position. Still it's not impossible. You just want to stack as many "cards" on your side. If you don't have previous IT skills, definitely spend a lot of time connecting with professionals on LinkedIn and do a lot of projects related to cloud security. Your best shot is through referral

Hello, I'm glad you love the ideas. If you have any problems with the course let me know :) I'll try to help as much as I can

That's true! Professional experience and your drive goes far.

I will put it on my list. Thank you for suggestion.

It will depend, if you have any prior knowledge, for example from other certifications. I would say between 1 - 2 months, if you dedicate 2 hours a day. In that time you could do everything mentioned. The recommended way would be. Do Microsoft Learn > make notes > put your skill at test with hands one labs and KQL labs > make notes > do practice tests > find out your weak spots > improve by going back to your notes and expanding on them. Many Microsoft Learn materials have link to documentations. Remember, you have access during the exam to this documentation. You will find additional information and it's very beneficial to spend some time reading it. It will come handy during exam as you will be more likely to find given information during exam.

Thank you, good luck on your journey!

Yes. Definitely. In our company we have 2 people focusing specially on cloud security compliance. Specifically study NIS2. AI and Security will be another huge topic when it comes to compliance. If you start looking into this problematic, you could be ahead of other people.

@@Cyber-Check thank s for your reply,I'm starting with GRC after net+ and sec+ comptia certification..
