A Change Gonna Come: Cisco CyberOps to Cisco Cybersecurity
In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about Cisco's CyberOps certification being updated to the Cisco Cybersecurity certification, effective January 21, 2025.

    If you go to Microsoft learn and go to the fundamental training event they will give you a 50% code for the exam. The training is about 2 hrs for 2 days. It does take about 8 business days for them to actually send you the 50% of code.

    I’m currently studying Cybersecurity, but I’ve realized that it’s not the path I want to pursue. Instead, I’m more interested in network engineering and system administration. I’ll graduate with a couple of CompTIA certifications as part of my degree, but I plan to focus on more practical certs like the CCNA and RHCSA afterward. I’m taking the Network+ at the end of this month and already hold the Security+ and CySA+. I’ve completed several networking projects, and I’m currently working on a major one for my resume. Do you think I have a chance of landing a junior sys admin or network engineer role, or would I need to start with a help desk position first?

    The CCNA cert is great with government contacting. If you look at some of the biggest contractors like GDIT, Leidos, SAIC, Booz Allen, etc. they are big on it. A lot of the time companies will say you don't need it, but it is recommended. Well the CCNA can be that difference, and this what i heard from my network architect after interviews. The study material in the CCNA is a great foundation for getting into anything in IT. I can only speak about cyber and cloud a bit.
