    Although there are people who are thriving in cybersecurity with no prior experience, It’s essential to have some IT experience before pivoting into cyber especially when it comes to hiring managers and being ahead of the competition

    I’m on my journey to become a cloud security engineer and my main goal is an cloud security architect. I just want to ask you if my roadmap is a good one. I’m doing my google cyber cert right now after that I want to get the sc 900 . My projects gonna be creating a virtual machine in a cloud environment and also creating an SQL database in a cloud environment followed with the az 500 cert. do you have any tips or things that you would do differently? Regards Deniz

    I love this video and the fact that you discussed a real business problem, your research, and solution. I am now very curious about your process for documenting architecture. Are you documenting the visual maps and/or text? AZ-500 2nd attempt is still on my to do list. Must fill some gaps in my knowledge.

    • @cyber.queen_
      @cyber.queen_ 7 днів тому

      Thanks! I’m glad you liked it 🫶🏽 with documentation I do both, it’s a diagram depicting the proposed solution and a written explanation of the architecture. Good luck with the AZ-500 you’ve got this!
