I think this is what every security analyst requires. Not expensive certifications. Its all about having knowledge about the tools and building projects.
Edit to my previous comment on here: I've just landed my first IT helpdesk/Dispatch role with an IT company!! After watching all your videos and taking some of these workshops and adding them to my CV I have finally got my foot in the door! I'm going to keep adding more and gaining more certs whilst gaining the experience in my new job. I start in 4 weeks! Then hopefully I can get into Cyber Security as a SOC analyst! Thank you!
@@UnixGuyThank you! I hope people do read this and get inspired as your videos have helped me accomplish this and I will forever be grateful! Thank you again for your amazing content and can't wait to see more! I'll also keep you updated when I start!
You are a goldmine of information, nobody else gives such actionable, practical advice. Other people just say do Sec+ then CCNA etc. etc. Thank you so much UnixGuy.
@@UnixGuyOnce we become proficient as a Cyber analyst, how does one go from there to a Security Architect?? Thanks so much for the amazing knowledge and expertise!! 🙏
This video is GOLD. Thank you! I just finished my Google Cyber certificate and this is exactly what I needed to feel confident to move forward in my journey. #1 channel for cyber security hands down!
You gave me the motivation to switch my career to CS last mont now i have my google cs certificate and was lost between so many advices and channels, here you are again, showing me the right path again.. cant thank you enough! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for giving a clear and useful pathway to the beginner who just started from scratches. There are tons of information and its really hard to figure out which one we should choose and in what manners. Please keep posting such videos. We really appreciate your effort.
This is exactly the video I needed right now, very grateful 🙏🏼 Also, for anyone studying for Security+ I recommend you do some of these trainings first. I did not, but it would’ve been immensely helpful for me to understand the practical implications and connect the dots so to speak
This. Is. AMAZING! As someone who just started out as a security analyst I must admit that everything in this video is no less than very useful information. Thank you for sharing it!
I just finished 3/8 of the courses for the coursera google cybersecurity certificate. I can't wait to complete it, get the CompTIA security+ and apply these tips to my resume!
Being in the IT industry for over 12 years and transitioning to cyber security now, this info is gold. Many certs provider should consider adding hands on labs with this information because it does make the whole different in the real world scenario. Thanks for sharing.
TestOut offers a free trial of all their courses for like a week. I used their labs in school and they feel true to life. I'm guessing they are run in containers.
Extremely clear, unambiguous and to the point. I am a Project Specialist professional trying to foray into Cyber Security plainly due to interest. I have been interested since a pretty young age, but I could never got clarity on the pathway and got into a field spawned upon me in the beginning. But now I really want to follow my passion. I strive towards continuous learning and I am hopeful that good things lie ahead. It's amazing there are kind and considerate people like you who spend your valuable time and energy to give out information and that shows something. The world needs kind. It goes a long way. Not just respect, I admire the quality you put into. This is not easy. And the fact that you are able to touch countless lives for the better is just amazing. Cheers!
This is a straightforward, no BS outline for anyone looking to get into the field. The value in this one video is priceless. Thank you for your time, for sharing you knowledge and for making the video content easy to understand. Keep up the great work!!!
Massive, massive respect and praises to you, my man. I'm almost done with post graduate program. But I could have just as easily followed your advises and gave me more satisfaction to my learning. You've given me a clear path of what I need to do to get my foot into Cybersecurity.
Thank you very much for taking the time to put this video together for everyone. There are tons of videos on the net that talk sabout things to help someone get a job in cyber security but all of the info they gave has always been the same copy/paste type of advice, which is mostly just getting the certificate. Your video really broke down exactly what we need to do to gain experience after we get a certification.
The top cybersecurity channel on youtube. Thank you for providing this much clarification in a new and vague industry, especially for those trying to enter. Continue doing what you're doing! Great content as always
I am actually in the process of finalizing my Google cybersecurity cert and your video could not have come at a better time. This a goldmine of info and i cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share all this. Most of these complementary courses really solidify one's understanding and with enough practice anyone with no prior experience in cybersecurity will stand tall during interviews and explain it all with confidence. A big thank you and you have a new sub
@@DreamBig9912I'm halfway the course, but I was saving money for the Comptia Security + but you're talking about the Security+ only, which one is better to do after the Google course?
I want to cry... Thank you so much for this detailed video on how to get hands on Project experience for Cyber Security. I was very overwhelmed for the past few weeks, on how and where to go to start my learning, and you've cleared this in a simple yet rich information video. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon your channel! Thank you!!
Out of all the videos I've seen on YT about getting into Cyber Security, you are the most helpful of them all. I love you channel so much man. You inspire me to push through.
This is a great video. I always heard people talk about doing projects to help your application and resume but never mentioned what projects to complete. Thank you.
@@UnixGuy it was the fastest way to get into cybersecurity where you talked about the projects to do and put on the CV to get hired like the blue team cert etc. actually that was one the GOAT and this was the encore. It was REALLY good. A different perspective. It makes sense as to what recruiters need to see. Had I not watched I too would have thought just the comp Tia certs were enough. Thanks for the wake up call!
You are super amazing for sharing your knowledge on how to break into Cyber Security. Because of you, I've started the Google Cyber Security Professional Certificate at the beginning of September 2023. I've learned so much from it and I can't wait to learn more and more especially from all your recommendations!
I am very happy that I UA-cam recommended me your video. I’m a post grad cyber security student almost at the end of the course and I was still wondering how to get an interview and how to present myself on a resume. This has been a huge help. Thanks👏👏
I've seen so many people describing how to land a job in the field but almost nobody shows you labs to get real world experience. this was awesome thank you
First a comment and then my question: COMMENT: I cannot tell you how THANKFUL I am for all the content you've placed on your UA-cam channel. I was so discouraged after losing my job but then I found you on UA-cam and watched the video "Zero to Cybersecurity job in six months" Wow!!!! what a jolt of energy. That video helped me come to the conclusion that I did not want to do Application Development/Application Support anymore. I've taken your advice and I've completed the Google Cybersecurity Certificate and yesterday I've also passed the CompTIA Security + exam. I'm now ready to full out my CV with some practical project experience. QUESTION: Since the Windows Defender/Windows Firewall project is no longer offered on Coursera it it possible to do the project on your own by looking up text instructions for the tool online? Do you have any recommendations? I've just joined your channel super excited to learn from you and I'm confident with your coaching I'll land a new job in the Cybersecurity field soon. Thanks ray Milltown, NJ
wow huge congrats on finishing both security+ and google cyber cert, great start! fir the project, just feel free to skip it, it’s no longer available :)
This guy.... Man, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't tell you how valuable this info is to someone who's been turned down so many times, I was starting to feel like I should go get a job driving a truck!!! I'll get to putting this guidance to use and holla back!! Thanks again!
You are definitely giving the correct information the newbies need. Not just reddit posts about random certs and applying to 200 jobs. This is practical, so thank you !
This is great information! I wish I had all this information back in 2016 when I started my cyber career. I'm still going to go through all of this training to add on my resume. I love how you also showed how to add all of this to your resume! This is gold!!
Discovering your channel is like discovering a hidden treasure I am in the middle of my Google certification and I don’t feel confident about my skills but now I am motivated to do more and continue my journey Thank you so much 😊
Easily the best cybersecurity channel focused on helping others and I don't say this lightly. A couple of months ago I was completely lost doing the CCNA thinking it would get me a cyber role. Once I saw your video on how it was a waste of time, I rearranged my priorities and follow your advice. Not only have you saved me time, I've also learned a lot from you and I am greatly thankful for that.
What exactly is a viable path to get into cybersecurity with no degree and what is a realistic time frame to accomplish this? I was also thinking of foing ccna but quite lost on somewhat on a path to follow.
Finally someone who explains what is needed! Thank you very much for that! And as an idea, I would love you to make a video like this to start cybersecurity but going into the cloud path 😊
You motivate me so much with realistic and actionable advice and guidance. I have 5+ years in Asset Protection / Corporate Investigations field, and have decided to begin transferring my investigative and analysis skills to cybersecurity. Currently studying for the CompTIA cert; hoping that with my current skills, a few certifications and some personal projects under my belt, I will be able to land a job within the next 6-12 months!
Thanks for the information. I have an undergraduate degree in forensic psychology, but during that type, I discovered cyber security through a module. Now, I have enrolled on an Msc course in cyber security and started the google Security course. I will keep track of your videos for guidance on knowledge while building a portfolio 😀
Amazing video! this is exactly was I was looking for. I finished google certificated and Security+ and I am actually getting interviews but Im getting rejected of all of them because of the lack of experience. This is the next step, I am going to do all those projects. Thanks!
Honestly, great channel. I was confused if I have to do the Network+ and Security+ certification to get started. This video gave a clear guidance what to do... Thankyou Unix Guy!!
This is an absolutely incredible video for anyone wanting a roadmap as a lot of poeple don't know where to start. Ive been following your videos and I've done my Google IT Support Cert and will be starting my Cybersecurity Cert next followed by the Blue Team Level 1 but I will be definitely throwing all these in there before I take the Blue Team cert and then updating my CV with all this valuable information. This is such an incredible video, thank you so much!
The best part is that the Google Cyber cert goes over things like TCPDump, Bash, Python, SQL, etc. Their virtual labs were so helpful. (I’m a beginner too)
I earned my CompTIA Security+ 3 weeks ago and completed my Google Cybersecurity course 3 days ago. Doing what is mentioned in this video now. Thank you for this Unix Guy! 🙏🏾
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! This is literally where I am at right now. Like mentioned by others, no one is sharing these. I have been watching videos and doing research since I decided to pursue a career in cybersecurity and you were the first one I watched, and you keep it real! MASSIVE MASSIVE RESPECT!
In my late 30's looking for a career change. Always had a passion for Tech, but due do to circumstances and lack of information I never had the opportunity. You sir is like the mentor I never had or the friend that I wished I had in my earlier years. Thank you for everything you do and sharing your knowledge. Be blessed.
Thank you very much sir ... I am on my 3rd yr of Engineering degree . My passion is to get into Cybersecurity Field ... You're my heroic guide for achieving that sir ❤️✨
Fairly new to the Cybersecurity world, but watching your videos helps give me confidence to keep moving forward in this field and adding more to my skill set. Appreciate you!
I just want to leave a comment to say thanks. Finding a mentor is still difficult today and I'm trying to break into cybersecurity but still haven't found anyone interested in helping me. I'm Security+ and Network+ certified and I was a little bit stuck because I didn't know what to do next. I'm trying to find that first job to get some experience though. I see in all your advices through all your videos an opportunity to improve and find the right way to finally land that first job. It does make a difference what you do.
Compared to other avenues of information I have been looking at, you provide a very comprehensive view of how to get started and provide the best tips I've found. Hiring managers rock! Thank you so much for sharing the information.
Thank you for mentioning tcpdump, that's something I use regularly to monitor customer traffic. I never thought to put it in my resume or profile. Also, those projects look very useful.
Thank you for your channel and your knowledge. Watching your videos for the past 2 weeks encouraged me to sign up for the Google cyber sec cert. thank you for providing a blueprint.
Watching this made me realize that I made such a great decision to make you my UA-cam mentor. I’m glad a couple of the skills mentioned here I’m currently going through them and super stocked that there’s more practice I can do in Coursera, HTB, and THM!!! You’re a stud man! I hope one day I can meet you in person and shake your hand!
Thank you so much. I was starting to develop imposter syndrome due to my lack of experience. I spend most of time working as a pharmacy tech. I’m half way through the google cybersecurity certificate then sec+. These additional projects for my resume is great for experience and the resume.
THIS is the video that made me a new SUBSCRIBER! This industry is a puzzle because they emphasize experience, which these training provide, but REQUIRE the certs which are not as practical
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding cyber security guidance video you created. As a beginner in the field, I found your video to be incredibly informative, well-structured, and immensely valuable. Your expertise and passion for cyber security truly shine through in every aspect of the video. From guiding beginners through essential courses to providing insights on certifications, your thorough approach and clear explanations have been immensely beneficial. What sets your video apart is not just the wealth of knowledge you share but also your ability to make complex concepts accessible and understandable to viewers of all levels. Your dedication to helping others succeed in the field is truly commendable and inspiring. I want to thank you for your generosity in sharing your expertise and experience with the cyber security community. Your video has been an invaluable resource for me and countless others embarking on their journey in cyber security. Once again, thank you for your exceptional contribution to the cyber security community through your insightful and inspiring video. I look forward to following your future content and continuing to learn from your expertise.
thank you so much for your kind words, this comment means the world, thank you for making my day! I really appreciate you and I hope that I’m able to be a small part in your journey 🙏🏻
I just took early retirement from a company I worked at 27 yrs. I maintained a massive 911 system and it consisted of most of the elements you are describing. My problem is finding employers who can wrap their mind around the responsibility and complexity that I functioned in for decades. What they can wrap their mind around is that I do not possess any of the cool certifications out there (my company did not care- but our internal training was well beyond these outside certs) and are quick to dismiss me as an old "has-been". So I am taking a year off to get a bunch of certs so I can get a job. Wow. Great content. I will certainly knock them out and good info on how to mention being a part time student. Thanks.
excellent work mate! I recommend you try and tailor your CV to match the description of the job you’re applying , which means you might need to remove some stuff you worked in your previous company that may be irrelevant to the target job. I’m sure you’ll knock out the certs quickly!
I graduated college for cybersecurity a year and a half ago and I've had issue come up to stunt my job searching and my confidence was low. These vids have given me that confidence to get up and going again and I'll work towards the google cert and work my way through the skill sites you mentioned. That way Ill gave a great looking CV. Thanks for being straight forward and not cryptic.
Dude this is a crazy repository of information! Thank you! I myself have been lost on the first steps of this interesting career path and no other UA-camr has broken it down so easily thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you soooo much im almost done with the google cyber security cert and been building my linked in and im bee looking at various jobs confused as to where to get this experience they think every has and this is great
Wow! I've been looking for this for a while, but have never found it so detailed. Now I'll finally get pratical experience I've wanted. Thank you so much!!
thanks so much for this, im going to follow these projects in unison with my classes and after google cert, would love to see a video about intermediate projects you like in a future video!
Thank you so much! I just got my security plus and could tell by looking at the market that I definitely needed to do some projects to land any of these jobs! They talk about how in demand IT roles are yet fail to mention that it’s mostly mid-level jobs.
this is actually really inspiring. I'm doing the google cyber cert on coursera rn and it feels like a giant waste of time. I spend half the time skimming through repeated instructions and duplicate learning modules , a quarter thinking about what im going to do once i finish the stupid cert and a quarter actually doing the work.
Great info.. I just started by cyber journey . Learning Linux system administration,Microsoft administration , IBM cyber security analyst.. I will definitely do.these projects too..thank you 🙏

Honestly, great channel. I was confused if I have to do the Network+ and Security+ certification to get started.
This video gave a clear guidance what to do...
Thankyou Unix Guy!!
Glad I could help!
This is an absolutely incredible video for anyone wanting a roadmap as a lot of poeple don't know where to start. Ive been following your videos and I've done my Google IT Support Cert and will be starting my Cybersecurity Cert next followed by the Blue Team Level 1 but I will be definitely throwing all these in there before I take the Blue Team cert and then updating my CV with all this valuable information. This is such an incredible video, thank you so much!
👏🏻👏🏻
The best part is that the Google Cyber cert goes over things like TCPDump, Bash, Python, SQL, etc. Their virtual labs were so helpful. (I’m a beginner too)
@@Groovy_JS Yeah I can't wait to start it soon!
My brain is buzzing and I hope I can comprehend this in my mid life, because I’m not gonna stop trying!! Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge!
You got this!
I earned my CompTIA Security+ 3 weeks ago and completed my Google Cybersecurity course 3 days ago. Doing what is mentioned in this video now. Thank you for this Unix Guy! 🙏🏾
Nice work!
your content is exceptional. Thank you so much!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! This is literally where I am at right now. Like mentioned by others, no one is sharing these.
I have been watching videos and doing research since I decided to pursue a career in cybersecurity and you were the first one I watched, and you keep it real! MASSIVE MASSIVE RESPECT!

Just cant describe in words how helpful you are.Respect++

Putting it in a generic CV is freaking brilliant!
👏🏻
Everyone tells to do very expensive certification like OSCP and CEH but no one tells these free and extremely good resources.
Thank you Sir

That Family Guy clip came out of nowhere!😂
😆
huge respect for introducing all these resources

I am a recent cybersecurity grad and this is by far some of the most useful information that I have received. Thanks for building a bridge.

In my late 30's looking for a career change. Always had a passion for Tech, but due do to circumstances and lack of information I never had the opportunity. You sir is like the mentor I never had or the friend that I wished I had in my earlier years. Thank you for everything you do and sharing your knowledge. Be blessed.
so glad to hear it! enjoy the journey my friend!
I'm in the same exact boat and I can feel you! Don't give up, we can do it!
Same here. I'm a game artist and I'm wanting a career change. I graduated IT but never got to use the skills that I learned.
Same here guys in the process of finishing google cert then I’m going do everything he mentioned
Best wishes. So, there are a lot of us in the same boat now :)
The best advice on internet , straight to the point , this is free money you are giving out . I will save this video. Thank you bro.

👏🏻
Thank you very much sir ... I am on my 3rd yr of Engineering degree . My passion is to get into Cybersecurity Field ...
You're my heroic guide for achieving that sir ❤️✨
👏🏻👏🏻
Fairly new to the Cybersecurity world, but watching your videos helps give me confidence to keep moving forward in this field and adding more to my skill set. Appreciate you!
Great to hear 🤝
I just want to leave a comment to say thanks. Finding a mentor is still difficult today and I'm trying to break into cybersecurity but still haven't found anyone interested in helping me. I'm Security+ and Network+ certified and I was a little bit stuck because I didn't know what to do next. I'm trying to find that first job to get some experience though. I see in all your advices through all your videos an opportunity to improve and find the right way to finally land that first job. It does make a difference what you do.
thanks for your kind words! go out there and crush it my friend 👏🏻
I have been trying to get my first job in cybersecurity and I found your videos…thanks for sharing this!
all the best
Compared to other avenues of information I have been looking at, you provide a very comprehensive view of how to get started and provide the best tips I've found. Hiring managers rock! Thank you so much for sharing the information.
my pleasure 🫡
You don't understand how much you helped my mind with this video. Thank you so much!!
Glad I could help 🫡
Thank you for mentioning tcpdump, that's something I use regularly to monitor customer traffic. I never thought to put it in my resume or profile. Also, those projects look very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your channel and your knowledge. Watching your videos for the past 2 weeks encouraged me to sign up for the Google cyber sec cert. thank you for providing a blueprint.
Wonderful!
I lost it when he put the family guy clip @ 0:47 after saying “kill two birds with one stone” 😂😂💀 thank you man this is solid info/content
😆 🙏🏻
Man I gotta tell you, I really love your channel. So much free game
🫡
Watching this made me realize that I made such a great decision to make you my UA-cam mentor. I’m glad a couple of the skills mentioned here I’m currently going through them and super stocked that there’s more practice I can do in Coursera, HTB, and THM!!! You’re a stud man! I hope one day I can meet you in person and shake your hand!
thanks man and all the best, can’t wait to see where your journey takes you! hope we meet one day too 🤝
Thank you so much. I was starting to develop imposter syndrome due to my lack of experience. I spend most of time working as a pharmacy tech. I’m half way through the google cybersecurity certificate then sec+. These additional projects for my resume is great for experience and the resume.
You can do it!
THIS is the video that made me a new SUBSCRIBER! This industry is a puzzle because they emphasize experience, which these training provide, but REQUIRE the certs which are not as practical
awesome! some certifications have labs and
big practical components, those are the ones that I tend to recommend :)
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding cyber security guidance video you created. As a beginner in the field, I found your video to be incredibly informative, well-structured, and immensely valuable.
Your expertise and passion for cyber security truly shine through in every aspect of the video. From guiding beginners through essential courses to providing insights on certifications, your thorough approach and clear explanations have been immensely beneficial.
What sets your video apart is not just the wealth of knowledge you share but also your ability to make complex concepts accessible and understandable to viewers of all levels. Your dedication to helping others succeed in the field is truly commendable and inspiring.
I want to thank you for your generosity in sharing your expertise and experience with the cyber security community. Your video has been an invaluable resource for me and countless others embarking on their journey in cyber security.
Once again, thank you for your exceptional contribution to the cyber security community through your insightful and inspiring video. I look forward to following your future content and continuing to learn from your expertise.
thank you so much for your kind words, this comment means the world, thank you for making my day! I really appreciate you and I hope that I’m able to be a small part in your journey 🙏🏻
I just took early retirement from a company I worked at 27 yrs. I maintained a massive 911 system and it consisted of most of the elements you are describing. My problem is finding employers who can wrap their mind around the responsibility and complexity that I functioned in for decades. What they can wrap their mind around is that I do not possess any of the cool certifications out there (my company did not care- but our internal training was well beyond these outside certs) and are quick to dismiss me as an old "has-been". So I am taking a year off to get a bunch of certs so I can get a job. Wow. Great content. I will certainly knock them out and good info on how to mention being a part time student. Thanks.
excellent work mate! I recommend you try and tailor your CV to match the description of the job you’re applying , which means you might need to remove some stuff you worked in your previous company that may be irrelevant to the target job. I’m sure you’ll knock out the certs quickly!
Incredibly useful, thank you UA-cam for suggesting this guy!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for posting this! Your video is so clear and concise, the best one I've seen so far for us beginners. :)
Glad it was helpful 🫡
This is the type of content I was looking for literally no one gave me a clear roadmap like this. Thanks so much, feels like i've found a mentor 😇
Glad to hear it!
I graduated college for cybersecurity a year and a half ago and I've had issue come up to stunt my job searching and my confidence was low. These vids have given me that confidence to get up and going again and I'll work towards the google cert and work my way through the skill sites you mentioned. That way Ill gave a great looking CV. Thanks for being straight forward and not cryptic.
you got this 👏🏻
So you couldn't land a internship or anything while in school or after for 1.5 years?
Dude this is a crazy repository of information! Thank you! I myself have been lost on the first steps of this interesting career path and no other UA-camr has broken it down so easily thank you thank you thank you!
glad you’re here my friend 🫡
Least I can do I buy the stuff using the websites you provided. Your honestly the goat thank you so much
thanks mate and good luck 🙏🏻
Thank you soooo much im almost done with the google cyber security cert and been building my linked in and im bee looking at various jobs confused as to where to get this experience they think every has and this is great
you got this 👏🏻
Wow! I've been looking for this for a while, but have never found it so detailed. Now I'll finally get pratical experience I've wanted. Thank you so much!!
my pleasure :)
thanks so much for this, im going to follow these projects in unison with my classes and after google cert, would love to see a video about intermediate projects you like in a future video!
for sure! good luck!
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you, sir! This will help so many people
Glad it helped
Thank you so much! I just got my security plus and could tell by looking at the market that I definitely needed to do some projects to land any of these jobs! They talk about how in demand IT roles are yet fail to mention that it’s mostly mid-level jobs.
good luck!
this is actually really inspiring. I'm doing the google cyber cert on coursera rn and it feels like a giant waste of time. I spend half the time skimming through repeated instructions and duplicate learning modules , a quarter thinking about what im going to do once i finish the stupid cert and a quarter actually doing the work.
you’re definitely not wasting time, you’re learning the basics, you can build up from there :)
UnixGuy you are literally the best!!
🙏🏻
Working on the Google cert and THM. Goal is to have Security plus and in a job by the end of the year. Just started SOC 1 and it's full of knowledge
👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been wondering when the real work would start. Thank you! I will work on these.
Best of luck!
Wow this is the best video I’ve seen about this topic in a while!!!!
🙏🏻
Glowing resume, good to know you're still able to get your Spiderman job done while also being a cyber security student
😅
Great info.. I just started by cyber journey . Learning Linux system administration,Microsoft administration , IBM cyber security analyst.. I will definitely do.these projects too..thank you 🙏
Best of luck!
