Highly wanted certifications: CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification) CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) CompTIA Security + *CompTIA Security + is a great beginner certification. Once completed, challenge yourself with the rest. See you out there future cybers ;)
I have an associates and have been doing helpdesk for two years, needless to say I just got promoted as a cyber security analyst . If IT is your passion you will get it .
I was a janitor, cleaning toilets, and now I control the Sphincters of Power; the clenching and declenching nerve clusters of the colonic bundles of the Manacles of Power! Muhahahahaaaa....oh yeah. I too was hoping to powerfully watch a monitor all night! I may still get my chance!!!
@@opponentmaycry9821 I have an associate in information technology. The company I worked for didn’t have a security position till recently . They only had network/system admins outside of our CIO.
I have seen a tons of videos regarding security analyst.....but not gonna lie this is best one💯keep it up guys you are doing great work really appreciate it ❤️
“Just because your told something is a certain way, doesn’t mean it is.” I have been saying this my entire life. Also, my like was number 555. I’m heading in the right direction it seems like :) great video!
Not having a go at the video directly but this element of it that gets repeated everywhere that "there are so may jobs that can't be filled". Yet if you look at high 90 percentile of jobs marked as entry level for example, they are not entry level at all if you check requirements (like CISSP). So it does seem like there are plenty of jobs out there...and they all want seniors Edit: oh...and GIAC... unless you have an employer ready to foot that bill, good luck
I must say that most of the certifications mentioned are advanced certificates. Most of these are for people with at least 4 years and up experience. Somebody wanting to start a career in security want get them at first, so it will be tuff to get in the door unless you have some type of experience. I got in because I have a passion for learning and labbing, that's what my manager told me and I have an Associates degree and a security + and eJPT cert. Overall good content no shade over here! 👌
We appreciate the feedback! This is definitely why we encourage students to reach out and talk to someone working in the field of their choice, too-it's always valuable to hear advice directly from someone who's been through it!
@@roadtripnation an associate degree should get my foot in the door? I'm afraid to go do the associate since most job postings I see they say must have bachelors degree
Ive been a computer and a level 2 IT support technician for 23 years. I am looking to make a change in my career and cyber security seems like the next move for me…
@@Dacoldest23 you won’t get a high end job right away without one. But if you get some security certs, you can work your way up from IT support, IT administration
@@Dacoldest23 honestly I recommend learning web development. With HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Go to a coding boot camp like hack reactor. Easy $65-85k starting out in 6 months. You’ll make 6 figures in 3 years
Are many companies offering remote jobs for Security Analysts? I am studying for the Security+ Exam right now, and will have the CySa+ Cert by the Summer.
If you look at something and you're like I don't know what this is how it works or what's it's doing but I'll figure it out and you're willing to kill a heavy amount of hours doing it this is your field. With that being said... Don't do it!!! Lol
Others can chime in with their experience as well-- but as far as we're aware, knowing how to code is not a requirement for many cybersecurity jobs (particularly entry-level jobs). However-- it can definitely be beneficial as you try to advance through the industry!
@@zuberkariye2299 that is true. Most employers in Cybersecurity want candidates with experience. Almost no entry level in Cybersecurity will take you without any experience. At least one year. They do not consider college/University experience, even if you show that in an interview the project you have worked on. why?
@@gilfernando7623 because they want someone who have crazy experiences when the person is 25 and they expect expensive for entry level positions. Sucks
@@zuberkariye2299 that is true bro! Cybersecurity is not difficult . if you know Python and PowerShell , Networking, and Linux, windows administration, you good to go! However these bastards company are making it too tough
No. Go off and become a goat farmer instead. The years I spent working in cyber are years wasted and that I am desperate to get back, but know I can't.
Highly wanted certifications:
CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification)
CISM (Certified Information Security Manager)
CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor)
CompTIA Security +

haha your mom...
Thank you mom
Wow, thank you! I am currently in the process of changing careers and this is useful starter knowledge!
Thank you!
Do i need any prior experience before hand?
I have an associates and have been doing helpdesk for two years, needless to say I just got promoted as a cyber security analyst . If IT is your passion you will get it .
What certificates did you get? Where are you located and how much did you make before and after becoming a soc analyst?

Same here. Only have an associates but been doing help desk for 4 years now. What certs do youn recommend?
I feel like I’d have to be on Xanax to enjoy helpdesk

@@roadtripnation this is the first one I've actually shared. So what ever marketing company you guys worked with to create this stick with them.. lol.
@@tronxilla No marketing company--we made this ourselves! Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
This channel deserves so many subs. Wow! Amazing content! Thank you for the time spent making it.
Thanks for watching!

Love that!
It varies. I went out and got net+ and sec+ on my own last July and start a cyberanalyst position next week.

Very helpful information 👏👏👏
Ceh is also a good certification as a beginner.

Bro you wasted way too much time lol. Get your certs and get a better job. Best of luck
@@IcyDNA Do you think you needs bachelors

Don’t need a bachelors
Anyone familiar with CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+)?
If so, what are your views on it?
The CISSP is not an entry level certification, in order to qualify for the certification you have to have 5 years experience. Please do your research
A degree is not what employers want as everybody has one there interested in job sector qualifications when combined are more expensive than a degree.
Am currently junior information security systems and looking into pentesting
Are many companies offering remote jobs for Security Analysts? I am studying for the Security+ Exam right now, and will have the CySa+ Cert by the Summer.
Yes they are
How’s that going for you?
Updated 6 months later?
Having Security+, CISM, and a secret clearance with 5 years in networking. This give me insurance.
Currently enrolled in cyber security degree program. Look forward to finishing!
I just started school. Already looking up for testing for certifications when I start school. But don’t you need years experience to get CISSP?
Excellent video.
Security analyst vs Cyber security analyst...
What is the difference between these roles?
There isn't, its the same thing
If you look at something and you're like I don't know what this is how it works or what's it's doing but I'll figure it out and you're willing to kill a heavy amount of hours doing it this is your field. With that being said... Don't do it!!! Lol
MY PEOPLE!!!
am I wrong or no Cisco certification was mentioned?
do you need to know how to code ??

Yes
👍🏾
there are more jobs than people to take these jobs? is this even true?
Obviously lol. Shouldn’t u know this
They always saying but non of them are gonna hire you

This video got me depressed 😮💨
Why the music :( it’s so loud and unnecessary.
Stop crying
@@smileystravelteam7529 don’t worry so much about it sugar
White hat capture the flag huh? 🤔
Do we need to go to school for these positions
One of the interviewers sounds like they're suffering from a really bad cold.
No. Go off and become a goat farmer instead.
