- This is the typical day in the life of a cyber security specialist working in a government SOC.
While this video is now a few years old, honestly, not much has changed as far as a typical day in a SOC goes. Full Disclosure: I had approval to post this video before putting it up.

This man has got a wife a doggo and a kitten. He is doing it right.
Hahahaha best comment so far goes to you sir
is she always on the phone? i pity you.
😂
hey guys I know cyber-security is more of a male dominated career but I'm having some issues. I have an associates degree in cyber-security and comptia security+ certified ... but I applied to over 200 jobs and they all keep telling me I need 2 years experience.
I have personal experience but they don't care about this .. they want to see if I have been working with a cybersecurity company or companies for 2 or more years. That's what they consider experience.
So like plumbers and electricians who enter apprenticeship programs and get experience while working with a company... are there such apprenticeships in cyber-security. Not bootcamps but apprenticeship programs ... and if not then how I'm I suppose to get a job within any cybersecurity company then??
IBM definitely has apprenticeship programs, check their website.

Wow with in 9 hours he is in home, this heaven.
Jitendra Pastaria they usually have to due to sensitivity of data and laws guarding against 8+ hour shifts.
living the dream i guess? Nobody in Australia is working in a government agency longer than their designated hours lol
@@dccybersec maybe except military?
@DC Cybersec is it too boring in that field?
Not at all. It’s a day full of excitement
this man really meant the whole day
we out here grinding
First time watching this video unemployed March 2020
Second time watching this video employed as a Cybersecurity Engineer September 2021
Thanks DC
That’s awesome man!!!! Congrats!
That’s amazing what course did u do to get your qualifications
@@cuzzywuzzyfuzzy No course. Just got some certifications and it took several hundred applications. I kept improving my resume by making it as security related as possible to the job descriptions. Make sure you work on your soft skills too and be able to communicate properly. He has a video on typical cybersecurity questions that will be asked in an interview and they were spot on. Luck and timing are very important too.
I have a similar day as you. I'm working at a incident response team, dealing some alerts from client and doing reverse engineering on malwares occasionally. It's really a dream job.
Helllll yeh! Good to have a fellow pro here :) thanks for watching the video
Hello I want to persue the career soon but am wondering which certified globally to take which earns good income and flexible timing
Please help me
@@abdihakimmohamed4574 I think OSCP/OSCE would be good
Will be one of the CS analyst pretty soon after sec+ bootcamp this coming January!
4:06 I chilled out for 20 seconds by watching a random person on the internet chill out.
I need to reassess my life.
Did you enjoy watching it though?
@@dccybersec Oh yeah, thoroughly. I'm actually an aspiring cybersec enthusiast. But the thought of sitting on my ass all day to work, and the fact that I'm just mediocre in the field, makes me wanna switch fields, but I don't seem to want to do it.
Oh, I'm a CS undergrad student, for context.
@M Muss I will take that under advisement. Thank you for taking the time out for the reply, ma dude!
This is the first video I've watched from you and can already tell your a good man and get your shit done. I'm a junior in Uni studying Computer Science and I aspire to be a diligent cybersec professional such as yourself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! Such kind words, thanks mate! Good luck with your studies :D
@@dccybersec thank you! ill make sure to check out more of your channel once finals are over next week. In the meantime, 🍻
Hello, did you ever get a job in Cybersecurity?
CS Analyst: *has wife*
Also CS Analyst: *goes to sleep with mask*
(・_・ヾ
It’s a tough life lol
@@dccybersec that V for Vendetta mask is some powerful symbolism for someone working for the government lol. Dope stuff tho.
I thought that this video will have whole screen the entire 80% censored, but I can take this complementary. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thought for sure pager was going to go off after the sleep title
Great video! I stumbled on this after posting my Day in the life video on YT (also Cyber security related). All the best!
Awesome! Thank you!
It's interesting how different soc's can be so vastly different. From formal attire to casual, from a 9 am start to a 7am start, an 8 hour workday or a 10 hour shift (day afternoon night). Tools available is a whole other conversation, and of course the clearance for access and access methods, retina scanners, proxy cards, physical security check ins. Not to mention the model of the soc and what each level of analyst does. In one soc an L1 may encompass part of the L2 and threat intelligence roles and responsibilities where another soc might be a lot more separated. Ahhh, the day in the life indeed.... I also have kids and wake up at 5:30am lol
I watch this video every time I get stuck studying for my comptia certifications, and it picks me right up every time.
Thanks for the motivation man, keep putting out great content!
You got this! Keep fighting the good fight mate!
@@dccybersec do you think college certificates that include Comptia are good for getting into this job. I know degrees are almost guaranteed but with certificates will it be harder to get a job?
I’m still at the beginning of the video so I don’t know if you addressed this yet, but why do you wake up at 6:30am if you don’t leave out the house until 8:30am?
Why not wake up around 7:45am?
Some people are just morning people. I for one enjoy getting up pretty early before doing anything and here’s the reason. Say I have to leave the house at 8:30, like in that example. If I get up 2 hours before work, I can start the day how I want too. I can relax while drinking a cup of coffee/hot chocolate. I can meditate, read, check my phone, stretch, shower, brush teeth/other hygiene things and I can do it without rushing. Yeah, I’m a guy and if I woke up at 7:45 I could easily be out the door by 8:30. But it’s just nice not rushing and not having to wake up and immediately getting ready for work. With a schedule like that, it’s very lenient. And you know sometimes I do sleep until 7 or 7:30, but waking up early is just my natural stat. And while my schedule is different than leave house at 8:30, you get the idea.
It’s just nice getting up and not having to rush to get ready for work. I can do some things that I *want* to do, before I do things that I *have* have to do. With that being said, I totally understand the average person is not a morning person. And I’m not saying what I do, or waking up at 7:45 is wrong. Just kinda my thought process behind things.
I love it! I can see my self doing it all with ease :) thanks and keep posting great vids
Doing what exactly?
@M Muss yeah I'm a cyber security architect and this video tells you absolute jack shit.
@@Acrossthepond101 Don't be a dick
100% can confirm, good job recreating the actual life of soc engineer.
Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Hi, DC! this video actually helped a lot, just a quick question mate.do you mostly work individually? or as a group?
Both! But mostly as a group
Thanks for sharing bro. It was a nice and short summary of SOC life. Looking forward for more.
More to come!
Would you say doing online schooling would be the same as being at an actual campus? Live in a pretty remote area that doesn't have good schools for cybersecurity:(
you had me at "A whole new world" what a king
Great video man! Keep up the amazing videos! You inspire me. Curious I’m attending college now. What classes would you suggest for beginning the road for Cyber Security? Thanks in advance.
Congrats on getting to college mate! What classes do you have to chose from? I'd go for database, programming language, networking and web related classes first up (probably web first).
There is some classes like computer information systems and computer science. Would these be good for beginning level? 🤔
Definitely yes
Thank you! You’re the best!!!!
I’m deciding between becoming a cs analyst or an rn nurse. Which is more rewarding in pay?
What’s the career prospects of finding work and pay range with only an associates in I.T. Security with some certifications?
Ay I recognize that restaurant, I’m based in Brisb too! Any tips on how to get started in cybersec? I’ve done some software engineering so I can sort of code not starting from 0 but close...what kind of certifications do I aim for?
Hey buddy!
Have a look at the compTIA Security+ and the Linux+. Those two together should point you in the direction of a job in CyberSec. There's more and more places popping up around town that are looking for cybersec professionals so it's definitely something good to move into.
@@dccybersec Just wanted to say, I've recently left my job in accounting to transition to CyberSec. I have a degree in accounting, but I'm self-studying for the CompTIA A+ right now. Then Security, maybe...I dunno yet. I just know I'm more of a computers guy than I am a public accounting guy. Thanks for some insight into the cybersec world.
@@flatbedlife6915 Good luck to u
Hey loved the video btw, I’m wanting to go into Cyber Security but I’m not that good at coding, how much coding is there in the job like do you use it everyday etc?
It depends on which area of cybersec you are getting into. In most cases, a lot of the work is not coding heavy. As long as you can read code, that's mostly all that's required to at least get started.
Great suggestion by youtube I was looking for a video about a day in the life of a cyber security analyst.
Glad it was helpful!
It was the V for Vendetta mask for me. 😂
Subscribed!!
Hahaha 😂
I can’t even bring a phone inside where I work lol. This is a tedious job tho.
Damn, I love your taste in music.
Thank you for the video and I'm still wanting this career. I do service desk analyst work at the moment for 8 months now and have a bachelor's in networking. Any suggestions when and how to Crack into cyber security?
This video was a life saver for my Career Goals Essay!
Glad it was helpful to you :)
I have a degree in Criminal Justice and am hoping to get into Cyber Security down the line.. I would mainly want to investigate cyber crimes. Any advice for best education programs and the career that may fit me?
Katie Scoopmire trying to do the same!
Have a look at Digital Forensics. That's probably going to be the easiest transition. The GIAC Certified Forensic Examiner (GCFE) and the GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA) are your go-to certifications :)
Question, I am currently looking to reclass to cyber security in the army. Do that for a few years, maybe four and obtain my masters (working towards bachelors now). Then the plan is to work in the civilian sector. Would you recommend a different approach or does this sound like a good path?
This is a great path to take, as you’ll get paid while you’re studying being in the army, and ex military working in CyberSec is generally looked at as a bonus. There’s a company called “with you with me” who can help with getting a job once you’re done in the military :)
Im ex Australian Army aswell. I used With You With Me, i done the Tier 1 analyst course, intro to pen testing and currently doing the threat hunter course. They have pathways that you can take. I believe they are using a program called “squads” where they choose some students to team up for a 12 month contract to get some hands on infosec work. I didnt do it personally but using all of this helped me land a Digital Forensics and Incident Response job at Ernst & Young. Just need to show the passion. Transfers in the Army can be very difficult so dont expect that you will get it. Trust me 😂
Hell yeah man get it!
Great Video thanks!
For those in the states you know the house plant called ficus...that is how you say focus....
"ficus m8!"
hahahaha
Wonderfull initiative...
Congratulations everyone... Amazing steps . Stay blessed and happy allways .
Many many thanks
This would be the type of work I would love to do. Hopefully I can get my GED soon so I can go to college and study in computer science. :)
Hell yeh go get it bro!
Heyyy, I'm also working on getting my GED and I'm trying to figure out what job I should go to college for after I get it.
So I’m trying to decide my career for when I go to university, right now I’m in community college and i have been wondering if it’s very hard to get into this field. And if you could give me some tips about this field.
Ps. I’m horrible in math, and that’s my MAIN concern.
I do Software Assurance and have a Security+ certification. The only math I really need to know (so far, I just started 6 months ago) is understanding cryptographic functions and being able to understand business threats such as Single Loss Expectancy (SLE: how much we'll lose if one laptop is stolen), Annual Loss Expectancy (SLE x the average number of laptops we lose per year).
Biggest tips:
+ Look into CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certifications. Buy the books and study this in your free time. I wouldn't worry about paying to take the exams since most employers will pay for them or reimburse you if it's a required certification for your position.
+ Make connections. Go to job fairs, introduce yourself to potential employers, make a LinkedIn, follow the companies on social media. In the end, my experience getting a job turned into "Hey, this is my friend Andrea! I remember you were looking to hire for blah blah blah position and she's graduating in May!"
+ I was a Computer Science major in college and took courses like Computer Security, Network Security, and Digital Forensics which definitely helped me knowledge wise. I also really enjoyed the topics so that made learning them a little easier. I didn't grasp networking well the first time I saw it, but when I saw it a second time while studying for my Security+, it all starting clicking together.
My story of how I got my first full time job 6 months ago:
I initially thought it would be really hard to get a job in this field (I graduated with a 2.9 GPA), but I became friends with the Systems Administrator for our computer science department and he hired me as one of his student assistants. From there, it really turned into a game of connections. He introduced me to his friend who was hiring graduates for their company. I was taken to multiple interviews through them and once someone offered me a position, I became a contractor for them.
When I first met my boss, he wasn't interested in my GPA or anything. The first thing he asked about my resume was what belt I was in martial arts since I had listed it as one of my leadership positions. He asked me what kind of projects I've done and I listed my homework from college: I programmed a hotel booking system for this class, a medical program with a patient portal for this class. I did a forensic analysis on a flash drive that had criminal evidence and explained to him what was in my report. I created a network with virtual machines and practiced writing SNORT rules for intrusion detection. Then, he asked me if I god honest liked the idea of manually going through thousands of lines of code for 8 hours every day. I told him I might want to gouge my eyes out with spoons but I could probably handle it. We laughed and I was hired.
Exactly what Andrea said. Couldn't have said it better myself
What’s the difference between Industrial Network Cybersecurity vs Cybersecurity in general
what software was he using when he found a vulnerability using python code injection ? ( The monitor with the graph)
It was a custom python script for SQLi. I originally found it on github a few years back and made some customizations
The singing did make me laugh!
Hey! I'm currently studying CyberSecurity in college, but i want to dig in and learn more about cybersecurity, what do you advise me to do?
Definitely read the news (I post news every few hours on my discord), head to some cybersec/ infosec meetups in your area through meetup.com and practice via doing CTF's. If possible, try to get a part time job on an IT helpdesk as well to cover off all the other technologies and get some industry experience. Hope this helps mate :)
@@dccybersec thank you so much
Do you think college is necessary to be a ethical hacker
It probably isn’t, but it would definitely help
Did you start off in help desk before going into Security? And what’s the song in the background?
Wow! Your hours are loads better than mine!! I don’t have time to chill when it’s work time... 12 hour shifts, 4 days on, 4 days off which alternate between nights and days. I literally work, sleep then work for my 4 days. Then on my 4 days off I am trying to get my sleeping pattern into the rhythm of my next set of shifts... :-(
Shit man that sounds hectic! What role are you in?
Hi mate, fantastic video keep it up! I just finished my 1st yr studying Software engineering. However, i want to move to computer science because i want to major in cyber security. I'm not to sure about my decision, do computer science get paid same as Software engineering? In NSW is it better to do Software engineering or computer science, regarding job opportunities?
Out of all these 4 Computer Science majors which one is the best if you living in Australia regarding work availability?
Data Science
Software Development
Computer Systems and Robotics
Cyber Security
Thank you!
im more shocked you had a phone in there lol
Nice music, just landed an entry level IT tech position. Even though I have Net+, Sec+, Cysa+ still couldn’t get into a govt job, so hopefully this entry level job will start to open more doors. Great Video thx 👍
Thanks for watching mate and good luck!
waited for a whole video to listen a word from you :P
This coming Jan. 2020 ill be enrolling in school for cyber security! 2 year course, certifications ill be gaining are, CCNA Security, CCNA Cyber Ops & CompTIA Security+, I hope it all pays off at the finish line!
With all of that, you’ll get a job for sure!
Are you taking the course online or on campus?
@@dccybersec how much do you personally earn 😁
Not enough! Hahaha
@@dccybersec ya in that state you in you need walmart money lmao
The best one is "talking shit on my discord server" lol

Wish me well man this inspired me and I'm participating in cybersecurity just got done with the introduction to operating systems course.
You can do it Reshaud! Get started on that course and smash through it like there's no tomorrow :D
@@dccybersec months later and I am still pursuing the accelerated degree.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I’m looking into doing this in the Air Force would i be able to do this just with a ccaf after my 4 years are done
More than likely yes. Ex military in CyberSec is usually lookup up at as a benefit
what would be an easy entry level cyber security job? I am about to get my bachelors in CIS cyber security next month and I am applying all over linkedin
SOC Analyst, Security Administrator, Network Security Administrator are the ones I think of off the top of my head
What is the average starting salary for an entry-level job in Cybersecurity? Specifically someone with a Bachelor's in Cybersecurity?
Wow well filmed and edited. Good job#
Thank you mate!
Curious do you guys have IPS systems set to actually block attacks?
Yes, but they are manually configured usually. We don’t use the built in automations for this too often
Hey man, loving the videos. I am a data science student atm in the netherlands and I am thinking of pursuing a career into cybersecurity. I saw the video about you and expectations vs reality and it really struck me. I see in the video that you only work with windows at the end after saying that kali linux is your best friend. It seems like most of the work of a cybersecurity engineer is reading graphs and extracting information out of it. What kind of action do you then perform once you find out that there may be a problem. What kind of problem do you usually encounter ?
Hey mate, thanks for watching!
Reading graphs/ analysing risks is usually the role of a SOC analyst, but depending on which job you are in is what your role entails. I use a mix of both windows and kali at work, but these days spend most of my time in windows writing reports based off the data my SOC team hand over to me. Those reports then go to a risk and compliance committee and actions are taken/ advised based on what the reports hold.
I hope this helps to answer your questions :)
@@dccybersec Thank you !
Can you go into detail as to what exact certifications you have and how many years of college you had to go through? Also how soon out of college were you able to land a job and how old were you? Would really appreciate the info as it could help me figure out some stuff through college. How hard were classes? Feel free to pm me response. good video too.
Splinter3192 C. You don’t need a degree to be a SOC analyst.
While you do not need a degree to land a job in Cybersecurity, if you do not have prior experience it would help. I work as an Information Security Specialist for a Bank. I landed that job having only an Associates in Cybersecurity at the time. I did however have 3 years of general IT experience and at the time was enrolled in a BS/MS program. I do not hold any certifications. From what it looks like there’s a couple of general paths you can take. It’s all about marketability. The most crucial thing I’ve seen is that experience matters most and Degrees/Certifications are a bonus (where not required.) You need to be committed if you’re going for your degree, it can be very challenging. You can always get your toes wet by going for basic certifications like Security+ or CEH. Feel free to message me if you’d like some more insight.
Samuel Sanchez Jr. so what would be a degree I need in order to work in the cyber security social engineering?
Samuel Sanchez Jr. hey I know you said this 2 months ago, but I just found this video. I was wondering could you email me I have questions! Alexisspence0322@yahoo.com
Alexis Spence sure thing, I can’t email you right now but email me at ssanchez@cylutionsit.com with your question
@DC CyberSec, Hey mate, I had a quick question. I'm looking into studying cybersecurity but not sure which is the best path to take. There's a TAFE here that supplies a free cybersecurity course that I can take. Would that open up doors for me? or should I try and go to a university and get a cybersecurity degree? Not sure which provide me with better opportunities. I live in melbourne.
DC .. this is the biggest question .. because I'm here in Texas .. just graduated with a BA from A&M in cybersecurity and only have comptia security+ .. and already applied for a few jobs .. and talked on the phone with some of them human resource managers and they told me I need 2 to 3 yrs experience. They said not personal experience but proof I have been working with a company or some companies for 2 to 3 years.
But you guessed it ... no company wants me to work for them without 2 to 3yrs experience ... so how did you get over this?? You must have had this same issue.
Also can you plz put some of the shirts on amazon .. I just don't like buying outside them.
I really liked to work in this kind of work, How do you think i should get employers to offer me a job? I am currently a student of Computer Science and i really like to work in cyber security.
finish your degree and get a comptia security+. That should get you into some entry level positions :)
wow. one of my dream job. im currently studying in Comp Science (Information Security). planning to get enough money to collect some profesional certs such as CEH
Don't do ceh, better do oscp
@@nonasuomynona1734 why is oscp better?
How far with your career bruv
I love the restaurant you went.. In The Jin （Brisbane)... my guess is you work for ASD. Driving down on Ann St, stopping on ballow st intersection, turning to Kemp PI, passed by Oakwood Apartments still under construction. You arrive at work at 138 Juliette St. Nice puzzle :).

Hey man I'm a newbie to the Cyber security thing, I'm currently about to complete my first year of college with cybersec as my major, but I have a couple of questions that have been haunting me this semester. Can you work from home? I've heard of people being able to work from home in cybersec and I wouldn't mind being a part of it. Secondly, do I HAVE to know how to code/program? I'm currently in a Java programming class and I find it absolutely boring, now I wouldn't mind fully learning a whole programming language but I don't think I want to program in the field, can I get away with it?
Hell no don’t half ass your way through life, rise above the rest or live your life in regret
The vulnerability made by python code injector or you found the vulnerability by using the python code injector???
I found the vuln using a sql injector script (in python)
I love cybersecurity.....it will be paid more♥️♥️♥️
Question? I’m at the beginning of cyber security, what do you do when you find a vulnerability? How do you mitigate that ? Thanks
If you're part of a bug bounty program, submit the bug to triage.
im debating if i should take a boot camp course in this or automation. i was told that there is a high demand for cyber security and there will be even more in the future.
As a 19 year old looking to get into cyber security, what would you recomend as a path way into the industry? I live in brisbane aswell.
Complete a degree in IT if possible or a diploma at TAFE bare minimum. Do the CompTIA Security+ and OSCP certifications, and potentially get a CCNA for a backup certification. That’ll 100% get you a job :)
@@dccybersec any recommendations on companies to do the courses with
Pearson vue or red education. Or you can do them online through comptia
@@dccybersec there's a uni in my country offering a degree in cyber security. Its 3 years but I can do it in two, as I already have a diploma in criminology and security management, which cuts off about 4 units as well as programming knowledge in python and Java, which exempts me from 2 other units. I'm 19 so is it worth it to get a degree in cyber security or just go straight to the certifications? One semester equals payment for one certification. Or should I just do the degree (its very well-rounded) and hope for employment? Or do a degree and certifications? Please help!
Hello
I would like to know what types of languages do you often use in these kind of work
Do i really need to become a "pro programmer" in order to have this job
I use C and Python on a day to day basis. You definitely don't need to be a "pro programmer" to get into this field of work.
What’s the difference between what you do and the SOC team? Aren’t you a part of them? Later 2 or 3?
So through my job, I’m able to go to Strayer for free and they have a IT bachelors with a concentration in cyber security. Would you recommend taking it? Thanks!
So no breakfast or lunch?
A tough life
I practice intermittent fasting. I don't eat breakfast or lunch most days to try and stay a healthy weight. Seeing as I spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer, I don't need that energy from 2 extra meals :)
Intermittent fasting works wonders for many people
Not at all life will be super because you will be paid more
I just wanna get my btech in Software and dive straight into this
Hell yeah Seke! Smash that degree out and jump into the pool of cyber security!
Do you do a lot of coding as seen with the python code injection? I dislike programming but enjoy the networking aspect with physical equipment. I've considered being a network administrator with my exp. but this might be more intriguing of a career prospect.
Not a huge amount to be honest. This script is actually a template I found a while back which I then customised to this site I was working at.
I’m a web dev and looking to get into cyber security, I was thinking of doing a cert 3 in cyber security at tafe, is that a good start or do you recommend a different pathway?
That's absolutely a great pathway to take. After TAFE, jump at a couple of certs depending on which way you want to go within the cybersec industry. I'd probably start with the CompTIA Security+ as my first certification after TAFE.
So I'm studying right now cybersecurity and networking and sometimes I have a lot of questions about what's next when I finish college. And your video shares one sight of the view. But if you have more or a friendly advice I would really appreciate it. :)
Always happy to chat. Drop your questions in cybersecguidance.com/forum and I’ll answer them in a video for you :)
best part of bid. "a whole new world."
lol glad you enjoyed it
Do u have to work over the weekends? And is it very Long hours and very stressful?
It's not common for me because I don't work the weekend shifts, but sometimes you get called in to assist. It's not a common occurrence though.. maybe once or twice every few months
Where did you find the vuln ?
On entreprise website / app ? Customer website / app ?
Do you look for vulnerability every day or it's just when you see bad stuff in splunk?
The vuln was reported to me by the SOC team. It was in a legacy system (of course)
Can we have one week without SOC report about vuln ? 😅
Legend reply every comment even tho those comment are a week ago and the video is about 5months ago
I do my best!
1:37 : "10:30am"
Windows: "4:05pm"
How
I travel time as well, obviously
This needs more upvotes
What schooling and/or certs would be the best route to be in that field?
Hi DC, Do you mostly involve with ticket handling? Are they something like Jira tickets? What are the general responsibilities of a new security analyst?
I invoice per hour, however with most contracts there’s a set number of hours per day that I need to work. So they pay per hour for those set number of hours which is usually the same amount each week
Anyone else notice his timestamps didn't match the time shown on the computer?
I noticed
May have been past clips he just put together
Correct!
DC CyberSec thought so
This what I wanted too be when I was younger and now I am a surgeon bc my parents told me to uhh kinda not regret that but don’t worry I am proud to study more in tech and cyber crime one day I promised my self to become a surgeon and a cyber crime specialist
How do you get recruited for this? Like I’ve been programming in Python & C since I was like 14 (23 now) and have made countless variations of software: malicious, security (made my own AV), mobile apps, desktop apps... now programs for my company that reduced labor costs...
Like do you go too school for it and can you kinda just wing it by being like “wanna see some malware I’ve made” lol
Jump on linkedin and start applying for jobs! get your networking on
Iam a really a begginer and I just started to learn programing ,Cyber security reallyyyy caught my attention, and iam really tempted to start learning, but I need to know the things I "need" to start learning, do I like need specific laungage?? Also interesting video!
A+ for instrumentals!
Thanks mate!
You guys would be suprised how hard it is to get this job (even with experience and qualifications like a cert and internship).
I would know. Been screwed out of a good SOC job like 2 times now. Graduated 2019.

@@Sam-ht3ye The job I work for now, I got by luck. Even with a clearance , comptia sec+, experience, and 2 degrees, its hard as hell.

scott lee that’s disappointing to hear. I’m about to enter a 4 year program for cybersecurity
@@Sam-ht3ye The degree is seen as a given for the companies. Get certifications and intern experience. After graduation If you're in an interview and they ask about gpa, dont work there. If they dont pay at least 55k - 60k+, same thing. Dont work there.
scott lee I see. Thanks for the info
My all files have been changed in the (. Derp) extension. And it is some kind of ransomeware. How can I recover all my data more than 400gb
Recovery point or backup is your best bet

I'm coming from a teaching background. I was wondering how stressful is this career? I found that although teaching you get time off it can be stressful trying to micro manage 30 kids at a time while teaching them coding.
I’d say it’s much easier (stress wise) than managing 30 kids. The only stressful part is hitting those deadlines and dealing with the 30+ adults you work with 😂 it also depends on where you end up working. Each environment has its own challenges
As well as which area of Cyber Security you are in, it also depends on the Business you are in. Some businesses see Security as a tick box exercise and doing the bare minimum to pass an audit point, this can lead to stress when you see some of the gapping wholes left in the environment, where as others Businesses take Security serviously, it is less stressful.
Bro now I completed my ccna routing and switching exam. I like to become a pen tester. So give some advice what courses are need to follow for achieve pen tester.

CEH and OSCP
@@dccybersec CEH really? There's so much mixed feelings about the CEH, I looked at the material and found it quite boring to be honest maybe it's the trainers. What do you think about GIAC certs and eLearn Security?
@@techmidas To become an ethical hacker or pentester, yeah definitely recommend a CEH before heading towards the OSCP. eLearn Security is pretty legit. GIAC certs are also good but not sure if appropriate for someone targeting pentesting. If it was for a SOC team or government agency, definitely GIAC.
@@dccybersec but there's the GPEN is that one no good? GIAC seem to cover many realms, looking at their cert roadmap. Not looking to do SOC team, more looking at consultancy around engineering and architecture.
What is the difference between the majors of Cyber Security Technologist and just Network Security?
Question, why do you use Windows. Does it have a benefit over Mac and Linux?
It works easily with all of the office apps I use. Sure, I could use the web version of M365, but meh - this works for me. It's also a company standard to use Windows, as it is at most enterprise/ government settings.
Im a year out to receiving my bachelors in Cyber security. I’m honestly still pretty nervous since I haven’t taken an certifications and I just am nervous on how I’m going to get my foot in the door
Apply to as many jobs as possible. In the end sometimes it comes down to being a numbers game. I’m fairly confident with a degree only, you’ll still get a job. Confidence is key :)
Don't worry, as long as you are passionate about the role, you will be fine. Good luck for the future. 👍
Get your comptia sec+ to start, get a sysadmin job and go from there. The sec+ is entry level, but may take a time or two to pass.
Hii Priestess, I'm still a high school student who's really enthusiastic on cyber security field. I'm trying to learn the networking basics and common cyber security related practice and general knowledge. Would you mind guiding me through and how can I delevlop it and grow a strong foundation on it. I'm really really passionate about it and I hope someone can guide me through without judging my carrier level right now. Thank you in advance
It's Cyber Security. We know there will be things you can't show us. You don't have to be sorry.
