    Tiffany and I discuss different way people can get into cybersecurity in 2024. We talk about how people can utilize CompTIA certifications, in order to get the foundations of cybersecurity. I mention how if they have no experience that they need to do this course by course careers in order to get a tech role fast. Let us know what you think in the comments

      Do u have any success stories from people who did the Leveld Programs? I’m interested in their IT program but I’ve seen nobody who went through it and became successful. Also, would u recommend this for someone like me who ultimately wants to head into the cybersecurity Auditing/GRC related fields? I really just need the best way to get into IT/Cybersecurity then pivot from there where I’m trying to get to.

    My first cert was Sec+ back in April ‘23, the same week I was laid off. 11 months unemployed, I was offered a helpline Tier 1, which was perfect for my transition into tech. It was perfect. Then Apple rescinded their offer to me back in February.

    As a CompTIA A+ , Network+ certified (CIOS) I think it's very misleading to tell people with no IT experience to start with Security+ , unless you have a degree. Like she said in this video you can have ANY degree and enter the field as a project manager. But if you are just trying to enter the field start with A+ certification and follow the path into Security.

      @@TechTualChatter If you skip CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications in cybersecurity, you might miss out on foundational knowledge and skills in computer hardware, networking, and IT troubleshooting. These certifications provide a solid understanding of essential concepts like network protocols, hardware components, and system configurations, which are crucial for effectively securing and defending networks and systems against cyber threats. Additionally, they offer practical experience in troubleshooting common issues, which is invaluable in real-world cybersecurity scenarios.

  • @MrBoydgo
    @MrBoydgo Місяць тому

    What most people are neglecting is in order to secure something you have to know what exactly are you trying to secure (the object).
    It's understandable that taking certs like A+ and Net+ prior to the Sec+ may be costly. However, during the process one will "be forced" to learn and become familiar with "the object" to be secured. Besides, getting Sec+ after going through A+ and Net+ materials will make your life much easier. At least you will have the foundation knocked down first.
    I think it's an investment. Before you run, you need to know how to walk and before that you learn how to crawl.

      I see your point. However, I never said people must follow the trifecta path. My point is, for someone who has zero IT experience other than perhaps as a normal PC user, wouldn't it be advantageous to know for instance a little bit of behind the scenes as a future cybersecurity professional rather than jump first with Sec+? I know it may be time consuming and costly, but hey Rome wasn't built in one day.
