    Just earlier today I made my new position official on LinkedIn, and I can confirm that this 4 minute video is a great summary of how to get a cyber job in 2024. Networking is a must for landing interviews, and it has the side benefit of finding like minded people to do CTFs with as well!

    This video was AMAZING jennifer ! I am a senior computer science student with a minor in cybersecurity at my local university. I also am getting sponsored by my school to obtain both the ISC2 certified in cybersecurity and the security plus certifications ! I am excited to start my journey hopefully through an internship and/or after undergrad.

    I see that youre providing quality content, keep up the good work, im currently studying on my BSCSIA on WGU, and will plan on getting most certs, what your thoughts on a cloud security engineer role?
    Also love the tatts, i have one in paticular on the side of the neck, and i hope it doesnt jeprodize any opportunities!

    • @AltFunktion
      @AltFunktion  2 месяца назад +1

      Cloud is a great area to specialize. So many companies are opting for digital infrastructure and I can't see that changing anytime soon if ever. I would not worry so much about the tattoo on your neck if you find it to be a road blocker there are ways to cover it. I do find though many of the young and forward thinking companies do not mind body modifications.

    • @AltFunktion
      @AltFunktion  2 месяца назад

      I would say both are great but with some experience Net+ would be my recommendation. If you have the ability to get both that would be great as well. If you want to get into a specific area though I'd look at specialty certifications in those areas. Best of luck!

    Hi ! Thank you for your video. I am currently a fullstack (java spring + angular) developer with 3 years of experience with a bit of devops and was wondering if you could give me tips on how to start my journey into cybersecurity like : Should I invest into platforms like INE, infosec, cybrary ? or are they a waste of money ?

    • @AltFunktion
      @AltFunktion  2 месяца назад

      This is a really interesting question and I hate to say it but my answer would be "it depends". Everyone learns a little bit differently and I find personally I do better with certificates and hands on platforms like Let's Defend. If I was in y our shoes with a good base of technical background already, I would research the different areas of Cybersecurity and see if any specific tracks would be of benefit and look at learning resources from there. Good use case is some platforms have amazing pen testing exams but not so great in other areas.

    I am a cybersecure student. I have Economics as my minor, I am trying to focus on coding and computer programming right now. What do you think about getting into coding for cybersecure.

    • @AltFunktion
      @AltFunktion  2 месяца назад

      I think if coding is what you want to do there will be many applications and would not focus solely on cybersecurity. If you plan to work in architecture coding could be great if you plan on getting into say policy, probably won't ever use coding. I would do a little more research to your interests and map potential cybersecurity roles from there.

    Hi im 36 , im studying for A+, I want to get Sec+ after I want a job what advice can u give? I live in nyc I have no experience I want a job this year in IT entry level

    • @AltFunktion
      @AltFunktion  2 месяца назад

      I would go for the Sec+ over the A+ for a couple of reasons. A+ is great and will teach hardware and computer concepts but is not terribly cybersecurity specific and it is 2 exams to get certified not just one. Then I would recommend Network + if after that I would recommend a basic cloud certification instead of A+. I'll say the goal of coming from no background and jumping into IT with only a year will be tight. Focus heavily on networking with other professionals and continuing your education.
