I got a job as an ISSO with no experience, started at $109,000. After two year’s experience and if I get my CISSP, my pay scale will go between $130,000-189,000 as an ISSM.
The best job description for security analyst I've heard of was: "That grumpy guy/gal who shouts at me everytime I click those links and open attachments in those curious e-mails"...
I'm in my first semester of getting my B.S. in Cyber Security through WGU, I've been watching tons of videos like this to prepare me, i'm learning toward Cyber Security Analyst and trying to narrow down what seems a good fit for me, SOC Analyst seems like something I'd enjoy, thank you for these videos. Subscribed!
Peace and love Bro, I'm getting my bachelor's of I.T. through WGU, 33% done with the program and working on my A+ courses now. I'm definitely leaning towards cyber security too. Wishing you the best on your journey 🙌🏾💪🏾
Thank you for getting right into the actual content I was looking for. The last video I clicked on was a day in the life of a cyber security analyst and then showed him making a smoothie and walking his dog. Wasting my time.
I just got accepted into college for a cybersecurity degree, but have no prior knowledge in the field and this is absolutely calming my nerves about going in blind. Ready to get in and learn the ins and outs of the industry.
Thank you for this video. Currently unemployed and my previous sector is dead where I live. It's not worth moving for, time to upskill from nothing. Subbed ❤
One of the best videos covering a job descriptions I’ve seen for a cyber security role. A SOC is the area I want to get into with currently being a IT Technician II. Thank you for this info and I subscribed!
I am just finshing my first foundational certificate and feeling like I don't know enough, just "I know what I don't know" and this video left me with concrete idea of what to do next to help in my process, thank you for this and I will be checking out the next videos you referenced at the end of the video!
I LOVE your channel!! This video was excellent and gave me a better understanding of what a SOC anayst does. I am going to look for the blog post and start building my lab soon! Thank you so much for pouring into the community in a way that is not boring. You keep it very informative and concise and cool! I actually caught the vapors on this one. LOL. Thanks again!
@@SimplyCyber I’ve already taken a course on cybersecurity. It was fundamentals no hands on. So not only I could not get a job I was still confused. I just signed up for a Aplus Netplus Secplus class. After watching this I’m more confident in continuing to work on my growth
As a person who's completely new to IT networking and cybersecurity and has zero experience, what are the best certifications and courses to go after to fast track their way into this job field? Also, is getting a degree in IT, Computer Science and/or Programming worth it?
@eddierivera4362 A few. One of the biggest tips that I've gotten was to focus on getting a Security+ and Network+ certification so that I at least can get a foot in the door, so to speak. Also, a degree isn't required to work in Cybersecurity. It mostly comes down to certifications and experience level.
Been struggling to find remote cyber work since I relocated to a more rural area during the pandemic. Lost my last 100% remote role. Most want hybrid or back to the office. Some jobs need to be on site like SOC work but a lot can be remote like compliance work (my area).
Such a great truth and a way to get it all done. With the little idea and path journey clips, you have introduced in this video one should be able to follow the right way. Thank you for this.
I must say a lot of things got clearer to me, I'm currently taking an introductory course on cybersecurity on the cisco networking academy and I'd love to get into the GRC part of it.
No prior experience but i tested my way into a paid apprenticeship program out here in seattle after i got my AWS Cloud Practioner cert for shits and giggles just waiting on an interview now then i plan to fine tune my coding skills to do some freelance full stack work on the side or full time depending on what my brain is feeling at the moment. Very helpful video tho its appreciated by everyone here.
Question: Do you think I should take the CompTIA A+ before taking a Cybersecurity Analyst course? Do you think the cybersecurity analyst courses cover the basics of what’s needed to really grasp how the be an analyst without needing to take the Comptia A+?
I would say I am quite a OK Fullstack-Dev and I am kinda bored of developing. I was thinking of starting so offer Cyber Security / Hacking Services, this Video cames just right into the place.
Best Content I’ve Seen on this subject and I’m sure these resources are just as awesome, even a lot of questions answered from the replies. Just want to say thanks, and I’m definitely tapped into this channel.
Thanks for the valuable info, I have a questions: which cyber security position would be best suited for some one looking for a remote position in this industry.
Don’t get down. I’ll tell you the strategy my stepson used. He has no degree and was working at a restaurant as a door greeter when COVID hit. So he found himself an unemployed restaurant greeter. He used the time to get A+ certified, and then got the lowest paying, bottom level IT job at a local hospital installing software on laptops for new hire hospital employees. The pay was only $17/hour, but that was $7/hour more than the restaurant paid. And that was just the beginning. He continued studying and got his Network+ certification and began helping the network guys out with their projects. Then Amazon advertised for a network guy at a local warehouse. By virtual of his meager experience and two certifications, he got in. Granted, it was a warehouse and just to keep the WiFi running, but they paid him $30/hour. Not great pay in the IT world, but it meant he had tripled his income in less than a year. And then he realized what he had stumbled upon: the stealthy, back-door way into working for the best tech companies. Get hired as a lowly bottom of the food-chain network guy in a warehouse. Because then you are a tech employee at a tech company. An insider with access to resources outsiders don’t have. He worked his butt off, took every task and assignment they had to get done, especially the out of state ones. And he continued studying, and got his Security+ certification. Every out of state warehouse had a completely different style of network. It allowed him to get ten years worth learning experience in five months. It also allowed him to gain an outstanding reputation as a hard worker who always got assignments done on time, with no complaints. And so he asked about a Cyber Security role. They said sure, if he was willing to leave Mississippi and move to Austin, Texas. He said, “Yes.” They said, “Good, move there, we’ll start training you. And here’s a raise to $40/hour. When you finish training we’ll raise you to $50/hour.” So he did. So they did. So he kept going and got some more certifications and continued to get every assignment done ahead of schedule. When he didn’t know how to do something he just went in to a company electronic bulletin board and asked for help. People were happy to show him what to do. In just 15 months in Austin he moved up from trainee to permanent guy, then to a higher team, then to an even higher team. Now his compensation is $75/hour, including stock bonuses. He hasn’t even been with the company two years yet. Three years ago he was an unemployed restaurant door greeter. Oh, and he’s a Filipino immigrant who’s only been in the U.S. for five years. Before coming to the States he had never had a job in his life. The USA is truly the land of opportunities.
You have a great channel. I''m looking to getting into cybersecurity. What type of postion would you recommend to start off? Or a postion to gain experience and eventually upgrade to?
Great video thanks for advice. Just finished 2nd year cyber security degree currently preparing comptia Security + im struggling to land my first internship or jobs any advices please????
I'm currently looking for a career change I worked in marketing and media for years and it hasn't been rewarding. I decided a few days ago to start pursuing a career in cyber security. Don't know where to get an education. I'm doing Coursera now, but what else do you recommend?
Great video. Just a quick question is it necessary to actually take the comptia network+ and security+ exams. I've watched loads of content on both exams and have a decent grasp of them I'm just hesitant to pay out nearly £400 for the actual certs.
network+ no, but you should learn the material. Security+ yes, and learn the material. The Sec+ is used a lot as HR screening tool, so if you dont have it sometimes you dont even get looked for the job.
What construct (i.e. roles, experience and volume of staff) would you or your readers suggest for a business looking to provide these types of services to other small clients?
Hopefully you can answer this: I have a desire to begin in DFIR (as in I’m career switcher) with some investigation background but heard this is a niche market and it’s better to start in a SOC role then work towards DFIR. I’d love if you have any feedback on this?
So, I have absolutely no certifications or degrees, but I do have 10 years of experience as a technician in the break-fix industry repairing computers, cell phones, tablets, TV's etc. as well as experience troubleshooting software issues remotely. I am also currently working as a field technician installing network equipment, running cable and working with network engineers remotely to troubleshot network issues onsite. What are the chances that I will be able to land an entry level job as a cyber security analyst? What certifications should I pursue? Thanks in advance.
Gerald, I wanted to purchase your GRC Masterclass, but it says I need an understanding of fundamental IT concepts. Where would you start so that I can gain this knowledge and prepare myself for your course?
What do you think about cybersecurity boot camps instead of committing to a 4 year degree ? Would companies hire entry level boot camp grads as a security analyst?
You can get hired w o a degree. There are many many bootcamps and they range in quality from garbage to quality so it’s critical to do your research independently of the marketing material put out by the bootcamp. Also take advantage of of all professional networking opportunities within the camp and in general as you will have more opportunities to bypass hr and get to hiring managers which will can help with the degree pre req
@@SimplyCyber thank you for taking the time to answer my question so concisely!! I will do my due diligence for sure!! And by the way, love your content!!
Land your first job is the title...the salary in the first job is nit that important. Should be enough to survive but the experience and knowledge you gain isbmore important because afterwards you can switch to an other company.
There is hope especially coming w lots of help desk. I would encourage you pick a role you want and lean into training/labs/resume tailoring for that role. Anecdotally I’d say grc analyst or soc analyst likely have the biggest “entry level” surface, but you also want to enjoy your work so not sure what type of role would get you pumped to get up for work
This may sound like a dumb question, but, I currently only own Apple computers, and I have been working on pivoting my career into CS, from basic help desk roles, however, am I going to be able to build a lab using a Mac, or is this futile?
Not a dumb question. There are none. If someone tells you it’s a dumb question don’t ask that person another question. You can do labs on Mac but it does depend on what processor you have a bit. The new silicon chips can’t run all the virtualization softwares out there or have issues. You can try cloud labs and that won’t be system specific
@@SimplyCyber Thank you for the reply, I didn’t expect it! :) I will check out cloud labs, I really want to start practicing and honing these skills. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed
Thats super common @@JediAlliance . The reality is there is SOOO much in our industry that you can never learn it all. I've been in the game for nearly 20 years and there is a ton I'm terrible at, and I'll be the first to admit it. Dont try to master all the things, learn the fundamentlas, then find what you're passionate about, and dig into that. I did write a free book that gives 10 steps to get into the field. if you want to check it out. simplycyber.io/book
Replayed and reccommended this one a few times. Got my vmwares setup and diving further into the labs limacharlie stage tomorrow. Been able to balance work, school, and life around it too!
Ish. To me Ccna is more about configure and troubleshooting Cisco networks. The goal is to understand osi model and how networks travel across a network. That’s the primary thing to understand
Maybe soc analyst IF you tune your environment so good that you kick back and read. But unlikely and most of the jobs are brutally demanding. But that’s the fun…..right???
Lol. My friends course is $0. Im not trying to sell you I’m trying to share great resources w you. Unless I’m mistaken this is the soc lab Eric did from a blog post.
