Thank you for this. I hope that whenever I become an established cyber security/IT professional, I'll pass on the knowledge I learned and the things I went through to someone else. Having a mentor is absolutely crucial and what youre doing is definitely going to change some lives and motivate those that don't have the resources from a mentor. Appreciate you, bro.
Awesome video! These are all solid certs that the industry really respects. But IMO, it’d be perfect to add some more practical and hands-on ones like CCD by CyberDefenders and CDSA, etc. Just my 2 cents.
As someone currently going through CCD, I have to say it's super fun but also very challenging. Some labs take forever to complete, but in a good way, to be honest.
i seriously appreciate you man. I almost got pushed into the route u advise agasint aka getting ccna and other stuff like that. U have actually sped up my process 10 fold and am now already applying to internships and jobs(im in University)
@@UnixGuy i wanted to ask if that is ok. I am confident in my skills, but i think it is time for me to get a certificate. Which certificate is best for price + hands on lab learning + and recognizabilty. for ex ejpt or like a sec+?
@@trippleCS the ones I recommended are a mix of hands on and theory, you’ll need all of them. You have to start somewhere, either eJPT or sec+ are a good start
Thank you so much for your guidance, very appreciated! I have a master's degree in Mathematics and for all those years I thought I would not have a chance to get into cybersecurity without going back to university for several years to actually study CS. I have just signed up for the free (ISC)2 course and will do everything you recommend in your videos. So very excited!
so happy to hear that! your masters in mathematics is MORE than enough as far as degrees go, all you need now is to build those skills and knowledge, keep me posted with your progress 👏🏻
Thanks for this informative video. You just saved me from losing my mind. I have been all over UA-cam trying to find a video on how to start this journey, and the more I searched, the more confused I became, then I found you. You just gave my confidence a boost. I have subscribed to your channel because you saved me 😊. Thank you very much
so happy to hear that, this is the reason why I make videos because I was as confused as you were at some point! Can’t wait to hear about your journey as you progress 👏🏻👏🏻
Appreciate you spending the time and effort to help us sir! I have an associate in electro-mechanical engineering but I am considering switching to IT. I have zero knowledge or experience in the tech field and computers ( I only know how to use a computer to get my homework done for college or paying my bills 😅)and I don’t see myself starting a new degree at college since I am taking care of my family. So I want to do it on my own by earning certs. Do you recommend ISC2 CC or Comptia a+ for someone like me to get his foot in the door? I want to get any entry level job that eventually leads me to cybersecurity! Thank you again and much appreciated!
Thank you so much, from someone who is 25 (about to be 26) and trying to switch from an entire different field of work. i feel like this video really did touch things and give me an idea for my first stepping stones into this career im greatly interested in. i hope this video is as helpful for others as it was me
@@UnixGuy dont mind the rude comments brother. at least you're doing/attempting to help others. if the people who beg to differ sbout you advice why dont they create a channel and give their thoughts.. ill let you know in maybe a year from now where i stand by taking your advice
I always watch your videos, even though I don't always agree with your opinion - which I think makes the best combination for progress. One thing I think you should mention on your videos is that things might be different for other persons or circumstances. For example, me - CCNA put me on my superiors radars for the Information Security Officer role, and now I was put in training for the position. Also, doing the Sec+ is a breeze because I really worked my but for the CCNA and everything seems more familiar now. Do I think it's mandatory for everybody to take CCNA? Absolutely not! But boy, I found it more than useful and at least for me, it was both the key for success and a massive boost in confidence as I had a very serious imposter syndrome before taking it, as I've switched careers at 34 years old. All the best!
hey Lucian, so happy for you and your progress! Having different opinions is a sign that we can think without letting emotion get in the way, which is a sign of maturity at your end! Yes CCNA can absolutely help, we have to put in the effort anyway, whether we learn the topics through ccna or directly through sec+ or even perhaps eJPT, learning is learning, I just try to offer alternative faster paths - that’s all. The paths that I recommend are not the only paths I’m very happy for you with your progress, changing a career is difficult but you did it! well done and it’s time to celebrate my friend! Can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish in 2023 👏🏻
I want to say thank you for what you are doing on this channel. I have been following you for a while now and you are doing a wonderful job. Thanks to you I just obtained my first certification (ISC2 CC). This has given me a great push to take another cert. I just came back to this video to see what I have to take next. I wanted to go for the eccouncil CCT but you recommend EJPT. I will probably go for it. Thanks again.
so glad you’re doing eJPT instead of Ec council, you will learn a LOT more and grow a lot and save time and money. Good luck my friend and please keep me posted with your progress
Hi!! How long did it take you to finish ISC2? I'm just a bit nervous and anxious since I also want to obtain it as my first certification as well. Thank you!
Just finishing the Good Cyber Cert its been great, think I'll head to the eJPT next! Thanks for the advice. Looking to head into Cyber cert in the next 3-6 months. Working as much as possible to learn the basics so I can jump in. This channels been a great help.
I agree with you, except the OSCP part. Yes for newbies its really hard. But it's entry pentesting cert still. It does not mean its entry level IT cert by no means! For some folks like me (sysadmin and devops background) it can be the shortest path to pentest interview. Intentionally saying interview and not job cos this will (HR recognition of this cert), get your foot in the door. I got my pentesting interview only cos having that cert. It's difficult, but highly valued. Now im in for OSEP (which suddenly feels kinda easy after all experience from real job except it still has a bit if CTF parts in it.) I saw your other videos tho and can relate to lot of opinions so you definetly have a new sub here! Keep up this great work getting people into cybersec! We need every passionate soul get into the industry!
Hey UnixGuy, I've been following you for a year now, and last november I enrolled in an Associate Degree in Cybersec. I hope to get my Sec+ in the next 6 months and maybe something else in the next year, idk. Here in Italy employers don't ask many certs, just knowledge of certain stuff, but I'm hoping the Certs will give me a higher starting salary. Thanks so much for all the info and clarity which you share . All best,
hey mate, best thing to do is to do some practical certifications and projects after security+, like the ones I recommend in this video: ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.htmlsi=sj8B55P86ywkZYXZ
Thank you for sharing this information, I took a major in business administration and actually finished it but I think the career path is already over saturated. I'm thinking of moving to cybersecurity, it's a big positive for me also since I love dealing with tech and computer related stuffs and it's still new in my country relatively speaking.
I've been in IT as a Systems and Network Admin for about 12 years, and want to make the transition into cybersecurity. I'll be re-certing my SEC+ at the end of the month, and already have study materials for pentesting certs and CySA+ ready to go for when I complete the SEC+... I've been debating which route I should take first, CySA+ or Pentest. Thank you for settling my internal debate!
First of all thank you for information that you provide for us. I really appreciate your efforts, time and help. I ll ask you something that which it is related to your talk, I have no problem with understanding you, but you talk very quick, I mean without paphos and break which it makes me a bit nervous, please consider this in your upcoming videos, I am your subscriber and follower, look forward to hearing from you much more about. Thanks again
thanks for your feedback Nijat. For youtube videos, you can click on ‘settings’ then ‘playback speed’ , then you can select 0.75 or 0.5, this will make the video a lot slower On my recent videos, I started adding subtitles so you can pause and rewind, please let me know if this helps :)
thank you so much for the in depth info.. im totally new and wanting to change paths... this is priceless... and very much appreciate you sharing with this newb... new sub.

Great videos brother! I just discovered you and your videos a few days ago. I'm so glad I did. I got my CCNA last year and am almost finished with the Google Cybersecurity training and Security+, which I should get in a couple of weeks. Then I will finish the CCNP, which I have also been studying for since I got the CCNA. I was then thinking about pursuing the OSCP straight away. Should I get a pentest cert before doing OSCP? I heard OSCP is hard. Or you think I would be ready to tackle it right away after getting the Google CS and Sec+? How do CySA+ and eJPT compare to OSCP as far as being marketable?
Okay, thanks! Also, what do you think about learning data science and data analytics? There are a couple IBM courses on Coursera, and they claim data scientists and analysts earn six figures. Is it really true? Or a bunch of hype? Thanks sir!@@UnixGuy
I got the Security+ first, then my military job paid for me to get CEH. When I got out I realized I let the CEH expire. It was a terrible PenTest exam in my opinion, not only was it subpar basic, and even the grammar was trash. I am interested in eJPT now.
yep thats why I never recommend CEH. I recommend you follow this Pentesting specific path if you want to focus on thar: ua-cam.com/video/OR8G_Vi5B1U/v-deo.html
Yes, I’m planning my schedule this morning. I’m attending WGU cybersec, currently I’m preparing for my ITOL cert ;which im unfamiliar with but still hoping for the best. @@UnixGuy
@@rordanstanton7431 I don’t recommend going by ‘search keywords’ alone. You could also just filter by a skill like ‘SQL Injection’ for example. I’m not saying Pentest+ is bad, I’m saying you’re better off learning the skill of pentesting through hands-on practice as opposed to memorising multiple choice question-style :)
A bit of nuance maybe: Initially, I saw that ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity charges $600+ as of January 21, 2023. But then I looked again. If I apply to be an ISC2 Candidate, it becomes free.
🇵🇭 Just as a heads up for fellow Filipino takers of the (ISC2) CC. I finished the course in a week. However, there is no online testing facility. They scrapped it due to "unsatisfactory results" that could somewhat tarnish their image. I finished the course, but did not take the exam because of geographical considerations - have to go to capital region (40 km away) to take the test at night (6 pm to 8 pm). Travelling to the capital region is not so good for me as I live in the provinces. Oh well. "Sayang" as we say.
Hi, thank you for all the work you put in to help other people. After watching all your videos about starting a carrer in cyber security I have one question. Would you now recommend a beginner to start with the Google certificate, MS certificate or the ISC2?
Hey there, great video! I am a CCNA and am doing quite well for myself. However, im also interested in cybersecurity. Where do u suggest i start from? Thanks!
Hi UnixGuy, I'm excited to share that I passed the (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity exam today! I'm now looking to pursue the eJPT certification. However, I haven't started my Certificate IV in Cybersecurity at TAFE yet, as the course is not accepting applications at this time. My question is whether I can start applying for cybersecurity jobs now, even without the Certificate IV, or if I need to complete at least the Certificate IV or bachelor before being considered for a job in the field? Thank you for your help.
congrats that’s soo coool!!! yes absoluteky you can start applying, it’ll br hard but you can do it! please join our discord, we have an aussie crew and we help each other
Nice video, do you have a video about the which are the main path of Cyber Security? Im interested in this field but not sure which path to follow. What are the requit ment salaries etc. Thanks🤟
Hello Unix, thanks for the informative video it will help me in future a lot. What would you recommend certification for someone starting in IT field like a desk job at first as a beginner? I'm thinking to dive more into IT afterwards if I do great in the sector
Hi Mohammad, yeah you can do some IT certs like A+ or Net+ or you can start straight with cyber. This plan will explain it: ua-cam.com/video/ug_ruisDUXc/v-deo.html
Hi and thank you for the amazing videos. I am 48 and I am starting the last months CCNA to generally learn about networking and then go to cyber security. I know it can be a stressful field, but is there a position I should be aiming with not so much stress and also being a realistic goal for starters? I plan to quit my job and go full study for two years in a private institution as well. I know I’m probably a bit too old to do this, but I hope I can make it.
Hey Ellias, your age is an asset, people with maturity are valued! It’s not always super stressful, it really depends on what you get as a beginner and also how the company operates (some companies are more stressful than others) I curated a playlist of videos where I talked about every cyber specialisation, I highly recommend you watch the videos there and take notes as it will help your decision greatly: ua-cam.com/play/PLdI5VHN89i7XgaT-dWsthpAKOmjAF3gCR.html
Same here Elias, been working in restaurant business for 25 years, I’ll be 47 next month, starting community college in the fall, hopefully get into IT , with a concentration in cyber security. Good luck amigo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
great guide thank you,I wanted to ask you if you suggest It google support with coursera or Comptia network + ,before starting with security certification?
Thank you very much for your affort that you provide it here in your channel That’s very helpful for us. But I wanna ask about this roadmap because I wanna learn ethical hacking. A+ CCNA MCSA RHCSA NSE4 EJPT OSCP
Can't thank you enough for this. I also want to ask something if I may. Are Security+ and GCIH interchangeable? Or should I do first Security+ then GCIH? Much obliged.
No worries at all my friend, if you can do GCIH then I’d skip security+. GCIH is a higher level and more practical, but because it’s expensive so we do some alternatives
best way to start, if you’re not sure just do beginner certifications and skill up, you can always change specialisation later. ChatGPT is great and it’s just the beginning, something to keep an eye on
@@UnixGuy thanks a million for your feedback. Will watch more of your videos and decide today and jump in head first :) appreciate your honesty and humility this channel is refreshing with no hype BS.
Hey love your videos.. what's your opinion regarding joining bs in cybersecurity...in addition to that what all extra course or certification should i pursue?
You said that when you do the fundamental certificate, we should do penetration certificate, so does the Penetration Certificate + CISSP complement each other? I ask these questions to draft a sort of a road map so when I'm asked what I'm doing I'm able to give a solid answer and for clarity sake.
pentest certs to give you a practical understanding of the attacks that you protect against. CISSP is a management certificate aimed at someone with 5 years experience in the field
Hello UnixGuy. I think there was a little confusion :D. You have mentioned "eLearnSecurity Certified Incident Responder" but have indicated different certification :"eCTHPv2" . "Incident Responder" certification should be "eCIR".
Can I ask you is this something to help get a job in this current job market? I have gotten 3 AWS certifications but still haven’t gotten a job 😢 Any recommendations?
it’s probbaly your lack of experience or CV or interview skills or a mix of all Check this video out, it talks about how you can work on personal projects to add them to your CV as ‘experience’: ua-cam.com/video/ug_ruisDUXc/v-deo.html and this video to help you with Interview skills: ua-cam.com/video/uaK7pM3aRj8/v-deo.html
Hey uniex guy, I’m so lucky to find your channel , I’m a physical therapist fresh graduate and I wanted to shift career so I wanted to begin with the google cybersecurity certificate as a foundation as you mentioned in another video so is it enough or I need the certificates in this video too ,because here you are talking about penetration testing as well as compita cysa+ certificate ? I wanted to follow the plan in your cyber analyst video , is this fine or I need to add penetration testing as well . Unfortunately I don’t have that finance for too many certificates“. Thank you for your help ❤️
Thanks for the quick response on the previous video, followed your link and have written down the next goals! One last question, I stated that I'm working on the SSCP, so far its another blanket but seems a bit more indepth than security + is this a respectable cert in the industry?
SSCP is used as a stepping stone to CISSP, I personally would do either CC or security+, then I would the certs that I mentioned in this video instead because they’re practical and more useful
@@UnixGuy I highly appreciate your time! Thank you, I'll finish this cert as I have started the journey anyway! Will update within a month. Thanks again!
Hi 👋 , first of all I'm so glad to land on your channel and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I just started the isc2 cc course , i have a question can I put the isc2 cc in my cv ,resume and apply for an entry level cyber security job I don't care about the salary , I just want to add experience years while I'm working on the rest of the certificates ,so is it possible to get a job with isc2 cc ?!
a lot more goes into getting a job than just certificate! watch these two videos for help: ua-cam.com/video/DRJic8vCodE/v-deo.html and this ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.html
Hey, do you recommend doing both the ISC2 CC & Sec+ before jumping into pen test certs? or would the ISC2 CC suffice? Knowledge and career growth are my two primary goals.
hey, this is an older video that you’re commenting on. All of those sets are good and valid however I have updated my recommendations. Please check them out in this more recent video: ua-cam.com/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/v-deo.html
Your videos are so elightening and than you for all of you hard work. I have a question and perhaps you can give me some advice or recommendation. I do Identity Access Management/Privileged Access Management (IAM/PAM) and would like to get into Security Compliace, Risk Management/Governance. I checked few postings, and they'll require direct exerience which I don't have. As for certification, I checked around but couldn't find anything at an entry level for Security Compliace, Risk Management/Governance. I have 5 years of IAM/PAM experience, and I am CompTIA Security + certified. Any idea or advice how to get into the field is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for your highly informative video. CompTIA recommends that test takers of the CompTIA CySA+ have four years of information security-related experience before taking this exam? What are your thoughts as you suggested CySA+ as one of the certifications beginners should take? Thank you.
yeah CySA+ is a tough one but if you do the certs I recommended before, it’ll help build your foundation. Alternatively you can do blue team level1 as explained here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsl_y7DsJl29w?feature=share
Bro I need some of your help, I am thinking of learning some programming as I read somewhere it is much important before I get started in cyber security... 1.Please If you can suggest me a few programming languages that are required for cybersecurity will be very helpful. 2.Also should I learn DSA or is it worth doing it for cybersecurity? Thankyou so much for your great content.
Glad it was helpful! they can be finished in 12 to 24 months depending on how fast you go and what other life commitment you have. Some people learn fast others take longer
Can't thank you enough for your response, I am from a non-technical field and didn't finish my university due to some reason, but all I want to know doing all these certificates can help me land a good role. Thanks again
@@summanzahid4351 my pleasure Summan! check this video out as it will explain to you what it takes to land a job as someone new to the field: ua-cam.com/video/ug_ruisDUXc/v-deo.html
@@a_random_guy2671 I’m able to verify the quality of CySA and it’s actually challenging. Like said the blue team lvl1 could be, I just haven’t been able to verify. You have a few options
Good day UnixGuy, I hope you doing you good, can I ask, let's say i passed the CC, would you recommend that I should move to CISSP. The reason I ask is the company I'm in requires me to be doing something technical or industry-based certification. In my situation I actually don't have any IT background or degree or diploma in these field but I desperately want to learn and specialize in these field cyber security space. It is something that I should do asap. I have already started working on the CC and also doing practise questions on UA-cam which are bit difficult but I'm managing.
if you don’t have any IT experience then I strongly recommend you do the Google cert that I talk about in this video, watch it: ua-cam.com/video/6LIUhx95MCU/v-deo.html
I recently past my CySA+ but I’m going back to doing Security+. After that I want to do PenTest+. But going by what you said should I do eJPT before PenTest+?
I don’t see a point in doing security+ after CySA+. I also don’t recommend Pentest+ at all, no point in doing multiple choice exams for pentesting, do the certs I recommended above. If you want to learn more pentesting, follow this plan: ua-cam.com/video/OR8G_Vi5B1U/v-deo.html
I really wish to thank you for this video, you gave me a clear starting point to study cybersecurity. I just wish to know if there is any certification to better understand networking from a practical point of view ( the course I attended at university was too theoretical). Thanks.
depends what u mean by ‘practical’, there are vendor certs but if you want to work in cyber security you don’t need to know to how to configure a router Palo Alto has some entry level certs
I’m new to channel and I haven’t watched all your videos so I’m unsure if you have addressed it yet. Would you recommend getting a job as a help desk first, then try to transition into cybersecurity? This is the advice I found researching online.
my preference is for you to start with a cyber job right away and build your skills there and if you can’t, try cloud or anything really, any job is better than no job. I touched on that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/GPmVphOqSGY/v-deo.html and a little bit here: ua-cam.com/video/McoZ2HoYqrw/v-deo.html
Thanks, you have been guiding me since last year. Regarding CISA and CISSP you can sit the exam without the 5 year experience. Is it a waste for newcomer with only other certificates like sec+, ejpt, cysa+ to do those 2 exams? I plan to sit them eventually knowing I won't be awarded the cert just acknowledgement of passing the exam. Any benefit in hiring managers' eyes?
hey mate, of course there is value, they’re challenging certifications but they focus on security management! If you choose a specific security specialisation, you can also do other certifications meanwhile while you acquire 4 yrs of experience (years pass quickly)
Hi Sir, thank you so much for all your great information so I want to start in cybersecurity career but I get confused because you been recommending Google cybersecurity certification so should I start with Google first or roadmap certificates as a beginner. Thank you so much
You’ll need to go through the same journey of learning. Pick some certitications and start studying. Leverage your current job by reaching out to contacts that may help u get ur foot in the door

I want to say thank you for what you are doing on this channel. I have been following you for a while now and you are doing a wonderful job. Thanks to you I just obtained my first certification (ISC2 CC). This has given me a great push to take another cert.
I just came back to this video to see what I have to take next. I wanted to go for the eccouncil CCT but you recommend EJPT. I will probably go for it.
Thanks again.
so glad you’re doing eJPT instead of Ec council, you will learn a LOT more and grow a lot and save time and money. Good luck my friend and please keep me posted with your progress
@@UnixGuy Thank you. I definitely will.
@@gitcotech 👏🏻
Hi!! How long did it take you to finish ISC2? I'm just a bit nervous and anxious since I also want to obtain it as my first certification as well. Thank you!
I have been struggling with all the path options for awhile. What you are saying makes sense. I am going to look into it.
👏🏻👏🏻
Just finishing the Good Cyber Cert its been great, think I'll head to the eJPT next! Thanks for the advice. Looking to head into Cyber cert in the next 3-6 months. Working as much as possible to learn the basics so I can jump in. This channels been a great help.
well done 👏🏻
I agree with you, except the OSCP part. Yes for newbies its really hard. But it's entry pentesting cert still. It does not mean its entry level IT cert by no means! For some folks like me (sysadmin and devops background) it can be the shortest path to pentest interview. Intentionally saying interview and not job cos this will (HR recognition of this cert), get your foot in the door.
I got my pentesting interview only cos having that cert. It's difficult, but highly valued. Now im in for OSEP (which suddenly feels kinda easy after all experience from real job except it still has a bit if CTF parts in it.)
I saw your other videos tho and can relate to lot of opinions so you definetly have a new sub here!
Keep up this great work getting people into cybersec! We need every passionate soul get into the industry!
yeah it’s not an advanced pentest cert but it’s hard and frustrating, at least there are more options now
@@UnixGuy if you give up...
I just enrolled for the ISC2 certification. Thank you UnixGuy!
good luck jovanny! that’s exciting 👏🏻
Wow your channel is blowin up tht is so good to see. I like that you always reply to comments whether they be good or bad. Keep it up
Things are definitely improving and I’m glad the message is reaching more people, happy to help
This was helpful.
Unfortunately, I’m doing CEH because I’m in a program. But I will definitely go for the eJPT next!
hey Saul, that’s ok, plenty of time to do eJPT once you finish CEH, enjoy it 🎉

Hey UnixGuy, I've been following you for a year now, and last november I enrolled in an Associate Degree in Cybersec. I hope to get my Sec+ in the next 6 months and maybe something else in the next year, idk. Here in Italy employers don't ask many certs, just knowledge of certain stuff, but I'm hoping the Certs will give me a higher starting salary.
Thanks so much for all the info and clarity which you share . All best,
hey mate, best thing to do is to do some practical certifications and projects after security+, like the ones I recommend in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.htmlsi=sj8B55P86ywkZYXZ
Thank you for sharing this information, I took a major in business administration and actually finished it but I think the career path is already over saturated. I'm thinking of moving to cybersecurity, it's a big positive for me also since I love dealing with tech and computer related stuffs and it's still new in my country relatively speaking.
good luck mate! I highly recommend you start here:
ua-cam.com/video/DRJic8vCodE/v-deo.html
@@UnixGuy thanks man! I'm actually really excited to dive into this new territory.
I've been in IT as a Systems and Network Admin for about 12 years, and want to make the transition into cybersecurity. I'll be re-certing my SEC+ at the end of the month, and already have study materials for pentesting certs and CySA+ ready to go for when I complete the SEC+... I've been debating which route I should take first, CySA+ or Pentest.
Thank you for settling my internal debate!

Fantastic video. Thank you friend.
you welcome mate :)
Great videos brother! I just discovered you and your videos a few days ago. I'm so glad I did. I got my CCNA last year and am almost finished with the Google Cybersecurity training and Security+, which I should get in a couple of weeks. Then I will finish the CCNP, which I have also been studying for since I got the CCNA. I was then thinking about pursuing the OSCP straight away. Should I get a pentest cert before doing OSCP? I heard OSCP is hard. Or you think I would be ready to tackle it right away after getting the Google CS and Sec+? How do CySA+ and eJPT compare to OSCP as far as being marketable?
If you want to be a pentester skip the CCNP a d follow this roadmap instead:
ua-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/v-deo.html
Okay, thanks! Also, what do you think about learning data science and data analytics? There are a couple IBM courses on Coursera, and they claim data scientists and analysts earn six figures. Is it really true? Or a bunch of hype? Thanks sir!@@UnixGuy
I got the Security+ first, then my military job paid for me to get CEH. When I got out I realized I let the CEH expire. It was a terrible PenTest exam in my opinion, not only was it subpar basic, and even the grammar was trash. I am interested in eJPT now.
yep thats why I never recommend CEH. I recommend you follow this Pentesting specific path if you want to focus on thar:
ua-cam.com/video/OR8G_Vi5B1U/v-deo.html
thanks for all
Most welcome
Great information TY 💯
thanks mate

Thank you for the ISC knowledge
no worries at all, are you going to do the CC ?
Yes, I’m planning my schedule this morning. I’m attending WGU cybersec, currently I’m preparing for my ITOL cert ;which im unfamiliar with but still hoping for the best. @@UnixGuy
@@sucoh2988 good luck my friend. WGU is fantastic
Thanks UnixGuy for this breakdown and your consistently informative content. In your opinion, can the Comptia Pentest+ replace eJPT in this pathway?
yes eJPT is a lot better because its hands-on practical
@@UnixGuy A counter argument is that on indeed Pentest+ results show 215 jobs while eJPT comes back with only 20
@@rordanstanton7431 I don’t recommend going by ‘search keywords’ alone. You could also just filter by a skill like ‘SQL Injection’ for example. I’m not saying Pentest+ is bad, I’m saying you’re better off learning the skill of pentesting through hands-on practice as opposed to memorising multiple choice question-style :)
Thank You sir
🙏🏻
A bit of nuance maybe:
Initially, I saw that ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity charges $600+ as of January 21, 2023. But then I looked again. If I apply to be an ISC2 Candidate, it becomes free.
yep! Go do it and let me know if you enjoy it, I heard great things about it
🇵🇭 Just as a heads up for fellow Filipino takers of the (ISC2) CC. I finished the course in a week. However, there is no online testing facility. They scrapped it due to "unsatisfactory results" that could somewhat tarnish their image. I finished the course, but did not take the exam because of geographical considerations - have to go to capital region (40 km away) to take the test at night (6 pm to 8 pm). Travelling to the capital region is not so good for me as I live in the provinces. Oh well. "Sayang" as we say.
thats a shame! how did u find the quality of the training?
@@UnixGuy Very high. Very engaging. Mixed with quiz and flashcards. Emphasis on ethics and procedures in the workplace.
@@dannybuntu thats awesome!!
howd it go, dude? any updates?
any update?. did you pass the exam?
Hi, thank you for all the work you put in to help other people. After watching all your videos about starting a carrer in cyber security I have one question. Would you now recommend a beginner to start with the Google certificate, MS certificate or the ISC2?
Google :)
Hey there, great video! I am a CCNA and am doing quite well for myself. However, im also interested in cybersecurity. Where do u suggest i start from? Thanks!

Hi UnixGuy,
I'm excited to share that I passed the (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity exam today! I'm now looking to pursue the eJPT certification. However, I haven't started my Certificate IV in Cybersecurity at TAFE yet, as the course is not accepting applications at this time.
My question is whether I can start applying for cybersecurity jobs now, even without the Certificate IV, or if I need to complete at least the Certificate IV or bachelor before being considered for a job in the field?
Thank you for your help.
congrats that’s soo coool!!! yes absoluteky you can start applying, it’ll br hard but you can do it!
please join our discord, we have an aussie crew and we help each other

@@UnixGuy ok, thanks dude, your videos are so good, have a great source of important information. Greeting from Peru 🇵🇪
Hello Unix, thanks for the informative video it will help me in future a lot. What would you recommend certification for someone starting in IT field like a desk job at first as a beginner? I'm thinking to dive more into IT afterwards if I do great in the sector
Hi Mohammad, yeah you can do some IT certs like A+ or Net+ or you can start straight with cyber. This plan will explain it:

Great explanation Sir . Thank you so much for this Informative video . We need your more guidance Sir .
Hi and thank you for the amazing videos. I am 48 and I am starting the last months CCNA to generally learn about networking and then go to cyber security. I know it can be a stressful field, but is there a position I should be aiming with not so much stress and also being a realistic goal for starters? I plan to quit my job and go full study for two years in a private institution as well. I know I’m probably a bit too old to do this, but I hope I can make it.
Hey Ellias, your age is an asset, people with maturity are valued!
It’s not always super stressful, it really depends on what you get as a beginner and also how the company operates (some companies are more stressful than others)
I curated a playlist of videos where I talked about every cyber specialisation, I highly recommend you watch the videos there and take notes as it will help your decision greatly: ua-cam.com/play/PLdI5VHN89i7XgaT-dWsthpAKOmjAF3gCR.html

I almost went for ccna but thanks for the advice now I know wat to do...
glad to hear, good luck Tebey!
Can't thank you enough for this. I also want to ask something if I may. Are Security+ and GCIH interchangeable? Or should I do first Security+ then GCIH? Much obliged.
No worries at all my friend, if you can do GCIH then I’d skip security+. GCIH is a higher level and more practical, but because it’s expensive so we do some alternatives
Big Thank you
🙏🏻
Love your content... Still figuring out which path is best. Would love to hear your view on ChatGPT?
best way to start, if you’re not sure just do beginner certifications and skill up, you can always change specialisation later.
ChatGPT is great and it’s just the beginning, something to keep an eye on
@@UnixGuy thanks a million for your feedback. Will watch more of your videos and decide today and jump in head first :) appreciate your honesty and humility this channel is refreshing with no hype BS.
@@scribe_8733 you’re very welcome Scribe, excited to see where your journey takes you!
Hey love your videos..
what's your opinion regarding joining bs in cybersecurity...in addition to that what all extra course or certification should i pursue?
@itzjeff90 depends on which stage of your life you at, if you can afford it, it might help
You said that when you do the fundamental certificate, we should do penetration certificate, so does the Penetration Certificate + CISSP complement each other? I ask these questions to draft a sort of a road map so when I'm asked what I'm doing I'm able to give a solid answer and for clarity sake.
pentest certs to give you a practical understanding of the attacks that you protect against. CISSP is a management certificate aimed at someone with 5 years experience in the field
Great video. Are these certification international or do different certification applies in different countries? - asking from the UK. Thank you. 😊
they’re global, so they’re recognised world wide :)
Would you recommend someone to learn more IT fundamentals before jumping into cyber security?

Hello UnixGuy. I think there was a little confusion :D. You have mentioned "eLearnSecurity Certified Incident Responder" but have indicated different certification :"eCTHPv2" . "Incident Responder" certification should be "eCIR".
correct, it is a typo. It shoid be eCIR
Can I ask you is this something to help get a job in this current job market? I have gotten 3 AWS certifications but still haven’t gotten a job 😢 Any recommendations?
it’s probbaly your lack of experience or CV or interview skills or a mix of all

Hey uniex guy, I’m so lucky to find your channel , I’m a physical therapist fresh graduate and I wanted to shift career so I wanted to begin with the google cybersecurity certificate as a foundation as you mentioned in another video so is it enough or I need the certificates in this video too ,because here you are talking about penetration testing as well as compita cysa+ certificate ? I wanted to follow the plan in your cyber analyst video , is this fine or I need to add penetration testing as well . Unfortunately I don’t have that finance for too many certificates“. Thank you for your help ❤️
follow the plan in the cyber analyst video as a priority, the certs here are just an addition later on if you want to gain more skills
Thanks for the quick response on the previous video, followed your link and have written down the next goals! One last question, I stated that I'm working on the SSCP, so far its another blanket but seems a bit more indepth than security + is this a respectable cert in the industry?
SSCP is used as a stepping stone to CISSP, I personally would do either CC or security+, then I would the certs that I mentioned in this video instead because they’re practical and more useful
@@UnixGuy I highly appreciate your time! Thank you, I'll finish this cert as I have started the journey anyway! Will update within a month. Thanks again!

Hey, do you recommend doing both the ISC2 CC & Sec+ before jumping into pen test certs? or would the ISC2 CC suffice? Knowledge and career growth are my two primary goals.
hey, this is an older video that you’re commenting on. All of those sets are good and valid however I have updated my recommendations. Please check them out in this more recent video:

Your videos are so elightening and than you for all of you hard work. I have a question and perhaps you can give me some advice or recommendation. I do Identity Access Management/Privileged Access Management (IAM/PAM) and would like to get into Security Compliace, Risk Management/Governance. I checked few postings, and they'll require direct exerience which I don't have. As for certification, I checked around but couldn't find anything at an entry level for Security Compliace, Risk Management/Governance. I have 5 years of IAM/PAM experience, and I am CompTIA Security + certified. Any idea or advice how to get into the field is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
hey mate, I talked about certifications for GRC work here:
ua-cam.com/video/s9LDWLfFOp8/v-deo.html
Thank you for your highly informative video.
CompTIA recommends that test takers of the CompTIA CySA+ have four years of information security-related experience before taking this exam?
What are your thoughts as you suggested CySA+ as one of the certifications beginners should take?
Thank you.
yeah CySA+ is a tough one but if you do the certs I recommended before, it’ll help build your foundation. Alternatively you can do blue team level1 as explained here:

I plan on getting my bachelor's from Sans. I'm studying for network+ now at my community college.
good luck!

Do you know about the blue team level 1 cert?
I think it's a better option than the CySA+
I heard about it but I have no experience with it, I wouldn’t say better, just another alternative to learn the same topics
@@a_random_guy2671 I’m able to verify the quality of CySA and it’s actually challenging. Like said the blue team lvl1 could be, I just haven’t been able to verify. You have a few options
Good day UnixGuy, I hope you doing you good, can I ask, let's say i passed the CC, would you recommend that I should move to CISSP. The reason I ask is the company I'm in requires me to be doing something technical or industry-based certification. In my situation I actually don't have any IT background or degree or diploma in these field but I desperately want to learn and specialize in these field cyber security space. It is something that I should do asap. I have already started working on the CC and also doing practise questions on UA-cam which are bit difficult but I'm managing.
if you don’t have any IT experience then I strongly recommend you do the Google cert that I talk about in this video, watch it:
ua-cam.com/video/6LIUhx95MCU/v-deo.html
I recently past my CySA+ but I’m going back to doing Security+. After that I want to do PenTest+.
But going by what you said should I do eJPT before PenTest+?
I don’t see a point in doing security+ after CySA+. I also don’t recommend Pentest+ at all, no point in doing multiple choice exams for pentesting, do the certs I recommended above.
If you want to learn more pentesting, follow this plan:
ua-cam.com/video/OR8G_Vi5B1U/v-deo.html
I don’t know why I don’t get notifications for your replies. So I did the Sec+ in the meantime. I will follow your advice
I really wish to thank you for this video, you gave me a clear starting point to study cybersecurity.
I just wish to know if there is any certification to better understand networking from a practical point of view ( the course I attended at university was too theoretical).
Thanks.
depends what u mean by ‘practical’, there are vendor certs but if you want to work in cyber security you don’t need to know to how to configure a router
Palo Alto has some entry level certs
Great video. How long would you say someone should study for the ejpt who has their sec+ and some level of hacking experience.
it’s different for everyone, I did version1 and It took 1.5 months but its all self-paced so really depends on how much you put into it
Thank you sir ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your recommendation appreciated. You are missing the tcm security courses for sure 👍
I recommend those as part of a pentesting roadmap:
ua-cam.com/video/OR8G_Vi5B1U/v-deo.html
@@UnixGuy now I get your point 👍
I’m new to channel and I haven’t watched all your videos so I’m unsure if you have addressed it yet.
Would you recommend getting a job as a help desk first, then try to transition into cybersecurity? This is the advice I found researching online.
my preference is for you to start with a cyber job right away and build your skills there and if you can’t, try cloud or anything really, any job is better than no job. I touched on that in this video:

@@johntren6080 you’re welcome!
Thanks, you have been guiding me since last year. Regarding CISA and CISSP you can sit the exam without the 5 year experience. Is it a waste for newcomer with only other certificates like sec+, ejpt, cysa+ to do those 2 exams? I plan to sit them eventually knowing I won't be awarded the cert just acknowledgement of passing the exam. Any benefit in hiring managers' eyes?
hey mate,
of course there is value, they’re challenging certifications but they focus on security management!
If you choose a specific security specialisation, you can also do other certifications meanwhile while you acquire 4 yrs of experience (years pass quickly)
