    What do you think of doing the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Certification, then SC-900 , then 2 guided projects, and then AZ-500 Certification

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  2 месяца назад

      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.

    You should make a lab walkthrough series. This would be a big help for starters to be able to build different environments on the cloud.

    Az-900 or SC-900 for someone who wants to go into security isn’t AZ-900 just general azure?

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  6 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    Hi, what's the proficiency of programming skills required in the profile to begin as automation is needed to grow into this domain

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  Год назад +1

      Basic understanding is sufficient. That means get familiar with variables, loops, data structures, if statements, files, maybe functions. This will help you understand automation with tools such as Terraform faster.

    I just finished masters in Information Security I feel like I have good understanding of Networking, Cryptography and Security concepts, but I am at medior position as Java Quality Engineer. I dont want to jump down in seniority and take a hit in my salary/"career time", how would you go about this ? Should I just get some more advanced AWS certificates (security focused) and try to jump onto Medior position in Cloud Security Engineer ?

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  6 месяцев назад +1

      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
      @Cyber-Check  9 месяцев назад +1

      I think 8 months is very reasonable if you put your effort into it. It will always depend how much time you are willing to spend on learning.

    • @andyedwards2589
      @andyedwards2589 8 месяцев назад

      I think the problem with this comparison is they aren’t apples to apples. The first CompTIA cert you get is always going to be the hardest and take more time until you learn the study program you need to ace their exams quickly. Same goes for MS Azure certs. And if you wait until the end to start actually learning code and how to build stuff in the cloud, that will be an entirely different learning curve as well as it’s completely unlike studying for exams.
      Still, I 100% agree you should put as much time as you can into studying and practicing these things at the expense of everything else, including having an actual IT job. That will slow you down immensely and narrow your focus needlessly when you could b learning rapidly absorbing all kinds of new stuff like this. I’d say more realistically a year and a half assuming you can avoid having to get a full time professional job to support yourself in the meantime. You will have plenty of time to worry about how to meet deadlines, manage stress, and keep everyone else happy for the rest of your career. Get the foundation right will you still have the freedom to do so.

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  3 месяца назад +1

      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.

    Hi, how long will it take to achieve it when studying full time?

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  Год назад +4

      That's a very good question. The time required for each step can vary based on individual learning pace, prior experience and the amount of time you can dedicate to studying. If we talking full time (to me it's 8 hours).
      1. Foundation 1-3 months
      2. Networking 1-3 months
      3. Linux 1-2 months
      4. Security 2-4 months
      5. Cloud 1-3 months
      6. Coding 2-4 weeks
      7. Automation and Deployment 1-2 months
      8. Cloud Projects 1-2 months
      If you already have some knowledge and you fully dedicate all your time studying, it could be possible to do it in 6 months.

      Huge pros for the Terraform certifications. It's one of the few, where you have actual hands on. That means people can't just cramp for the exam or learn from dumps, which is huge problem for certification industry.
      People have the certifications, but they lack the experience and skills to apply them. That's why I'm huge fan of projects. Terraform certification is very different in that regards. I really love it! Good luck on your journey!

      Hello @studyfanclub2619
      That's a brilliant questions.
      Let's assume you enjoy this field and you want to further develop in Cloud Computing and IoT. I would firstly look for companies in my local area, what jobs are opened and what technologies do they use.
      My country is Azure heavy, but overall AWS is more popular. You have to first do your own research. There might be also some companies you would (not) prefer to work for.
      Once you know the cloud provider, dive really deep and make a project related to IoT. Automate onboarding of IoT devices.
      aws.amazon.com/blogs/iot/how-to-automate-onboarding-of-iot-devices-to-aws-iot-core-at-scale-with-fleet-provisioning/
      I would definitely make some home made lab with IoT devices. Even better would be to help some business integrate cloud and IoT to solve their problem.
      By having some practical project under your belt, you will differentiate from other graduates and gives you something to talk on interview.

    • @Cyber-Check
      @Cyber-Check  Год назад +1

      Hello, I put time estimates for each step. Although it will depend on many factors such as amount of time studying and your learning pace.
      1. Foundation 1-3 months
      2. Networking 1-3 months
      3. Linux 1-2 months
      4. Security 2-4 months
      5. Cloud 1-3 months
      6. Coding 2-4 weeks
      7. Automation and Deployment 1-2 months
      8. Cloud Projects 1-2 months
      I would say if you already have prior step 5 experience with AZ-900, you only need practical skill in the cloud focused on security. I would say 2 - 4 months to have polish knowledge and some projects to talk on interview to get a job in cloud security.

My doubt, is if I have to do some SOC path (blue team) or directly I go for cloud, and the last doubt is if I need to do comptia sec+ (I have the knowledge from other courses, but I can't afford the price of the certification for the moment) or with aws partitioner is it ok?

      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.

      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.
