Would your program be a good fit for someone that has experience in a help desk/tech support position? Or is it tailored more for someone that has system administration or network engineering like in today's example?
How much is the program?
@@IVIauricius Help desk and tech support experience makes for an easy transition into cybersecurity.
Boyd I was apart of ITA need to talk to you
@@thednalofi6437 Hey! What's your name? Send me an email.
This is on the money for me. I was in the process of hiring someone to reinvent my resume, and I thank God for this video and your perspective. I can reinvent my resume myself now. I am a retired army veteran with a bachelors in cybersecurity, currently working on my masters, TSSCI clearance on the DoD arena in San Antonio, working in a NOC operations position. I've been trying to thread the needle to transition between networking and cybersecurity. My resume keywords get me filtered into candidate positions by recruiters but don't garner any attention from the people hiring for those positions. Everyone I know who is already in a cyber position has told me to just take a position to get into the field, but that is easier said than done. I had told myself the other day that if I had skills that could translate into the cyber arena, then it would make the transition easier. You have given me that key in this video. I never related my duties and skills used in my last two positions to the CIA nor realized that I currently have more than five years of experience in cybersecurity just based on my last two positions. Thank you so much, Mr. Lewis. This perspective is a resume and life game changer for me.
@18:29 - "It doesn't matter how long you’ve ve done something"
I needed to hear that, thank you 🤜
Great material, keen eye for detail! I was told I should get a CISSP if I wanted to get into a higher level Security role. I joined your program and think it's very good, been working in IT and CyberSec. for about 20 years.
Awesome!
OK, so I'm done cussing you and my TV. 🤨 Thank makes sooo much sense. In IT for 20 yrs as a SysAdmin and couldn't really tie it together for the transition. Thanks for the paradigm shift Boyd. Back to the cussing and redoing the resume.
This is an excellent parallelism concept. I do executive protection with a majority of my job protwcting my clients residence.
Our operations room has 3 PCs, 7 monitors divided to surveil 4 residences simultaneously. We monitor social media, and periodically compose property risk reports among other tasks.
Id like to break into cybersecurity. What are transferable skills and where should I start?
Makes sense to me! I am currently a system administrator of 3 years. Very informative video. Will need to redo my resume.
Im trying to get my foot in the door. I have 2 cyber security certificates and no idea how to break in. Do you have any advice that would help me?
@@NoFatHeauxkeep applying, meet people that’s it, no secret really.
25+ years of experience in IT as a System Administrator and engineer but am always told "In order to work CyberSecurity you need at least Sec+ or other entry level cert". Re-writing my resume very soon. Thanks Boyd
Thank you so much for this. Now, I have a better understanding of how to draft my resume.
Security+. Was told to get Sec+ and you'd be good!
Thanks for sharing the information. I was told to get my feet wet in the cybersecurity role; I have to get a least CompTIA Security +
Great Content Sir. There are definitely multiple paths to get into Cybersecurity. There is so much free content out there to learn and grow. For new people trying to pivot into IT, I recommend learning from what is out there, like your channel to see if IT and Cyber is for you.
Makes sense for sure!
Is Cyber security still a booming industry as it was before?
Having a tough time getting a job and I am pretty seasoned
after watching the full video i see...nearly all of what i listed in the previous post shouldn't go on my resume..my question has been answered
I like this video. This helps to narrow down what skills I need.
Life changer cuhhh
Clap! Clap! Clap!! Well done. That's all I have to say!
There are so many titles and roles for Cyber Security... What would be a good starting role to seek with years of experience? CS Analyst, CS Specialist, CS IAM, etc... ??
First, start by doing a skill inventory to identify tasks you're already performing that align with key areas like cybersecurity, such as patching or vulnerability management. Then, take those keywords from your tasks and search for job listings on LinkedIn that match those skills. This approach will help you find roles that fit your current expertise, instead of trying to fit yourself into a specific job from the outset. Let me know if that makes sense!
@@BoydClewis all makes sense with the exception of looking on LinkedIn. I've done all the things that you'd listed and a lot more. Searching one keyword at a time like "patching, vuln. mgmt., information security, etc..." seems counter intuitive to me. Let's not forget I just now was able to justify and qualify everything I had been doing fits under the CIA scope.
I'm taking inventory now and updating the resume. The Qualys vendor cert is on my todo list.
Thanks for all you do.
Great video brother 🤴🏿💯. Foundation where it starts
Hey buddy, great video! Unrelated question, what's the model of that touchscreen TV/Monitor? It looks cool.
Thanks! I’m using a Vibe Board. You can get $150 off if you’re interested. vibe.us/referral/share/?person=boydclewis&type=business
This was very helpful, Thank you!
Thanks for laying it out. .
You're very welcome!
Ok im about a few minutes in. Im under the assumption you have to be at least an IT professional to benefit from this video. I have a crim investigator background NO IT BACKGROUND so I would need the college courses, certifications etc etc. so this video is NOT fo me
you have to be certificated if you want a job
Is this for beginners like me that want to switch to IT
‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥 You smoked this. 💯
@@LolaBeM3 🙏🏽
Just threw my iPad after listening to you break this down bc I worked the same role for the past 5 yrs getting seriously underpaid while I did not only my job but bosses job as well, l was making just about 10k what you were making in that role🤦🏾♂️dam!
I was told that CompTIA's Security+ would be required for a specific role. That government program got closed down and the job disappeared so I'm open to any cert that will help me use my 30+ years of IT experience.
I was told I needed to get a Security + Cert before I could get any looks to be a network engineer.
Certification demonstrate you have some level of knowledge. With that being said, you have certs yourself, so you can’t say you got through the door just based on transferable skills
Truck driver here. What would be my transferable skills? 😅
Yes, there are plenty of transferable skills for GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). I've successfully helped several truck drivers transition into cybersecurity using this approach. The key is to shift the focus away from driving the truck and concentrate on governance-related tasks. For example, think about what you do before driving, like conducting a pre-route vehicle inspection. In this case, the truck is a business asset, and your inspection ensures it complies with DOT standards. If it's not compliant and an accident occurs, the company could face legal consequences. By performing these regular audits, you're providing a valuable service to the company. Just be sure not to focus on the driving aspect when discussing your experience.
@@BoydClewisWow this explanation in relation to driver pivoting into cybersecurity is spot on!
I currently work in the commercial real estate/property management industry as a Workplace Services Coordinator managing the day to day property operations including the following: access requests (i.e. credential provisioning & deprovisioning, or credential management, event tracking, user management, assigning users to groups(users here meaning property tenants) using on-premise & cloud access control system), visitor management systems, cloud video & surveillance systems, vendor management/coordination/screening, audio-visual (AV) setup & technology support for meetings and events, mail room operations, incident reporting among others.
Based on the above skills and experiences, which area of cybersecurity do I fit into, and how do I communicate the value I bring to a cybersecurity role to a hiring manager? The challenge has been tying all these experiences and skills to a cybersecurity transition.
Well buddy I'm one of those guys that has always been fasinated with the tech industry and is a Commercial Truck Driver 15+yrs by trade but definitely searching for right opportunities here to break the barrier.🤔

Never fall asleep in the job environment.
😂
i've been doing the coursework for both qualys and splunk...both free...i was thinking maybe i need to learn one of those...i'm a teacher...never worked a tech job but i'm very tech savvy much more than the average person...just doing things in every day life for myself or other people...i wonder if that kind of stuff even counts...jail breaking old iphones, rooting android phones, accessing my own router settings and making adjustments, running virus scans, and several other more technical things that I don't even feel like listing. lol i have so many questions...
Nice job sir. What is the difference between Cyber Security and Information Security? Are your cyber security professional or information security professional? Thanks sir.
So you need System Administrator experience before moving into Cybersecurity?
Do you need certs and experience for System Administrator or can you transition into that from a non-IT job?
I guess my question is which IT job was your first on the IT ladder/hierarchy?
I am an electrical engineer, and some say it’s lil similar to IT and easier to change to IT. What you think?
net+ is october 7th... wanted to get foundational knowledge before diving into security. thanks for all your vids dude !
My pleasure
Per a previous IG post you made regarding frameworks for GRC, how would i demonstrate my skills on resume after learning about them? Will I do it through a portfolio or some other means?
There is this tool you developed for PCI DSS compliance. Can you provide the link, please?
Does this apply to North America job market? can you do a follow up on the Caribbean job market
So I feel this vid is good for guys already working in IT but Im an American living in China wanting to work remote because I like it here, interested in cybersecurity with no idea if its possible, to do from here and or attainable Tackle that
CompTIA A+
Thank you
