I want to get a better job for my family we are a one income family of four can you help me and appoint in the right direction thank you very much
I would start with the IBM, Google, and Microsoft cybersecurity certificates on coursera. They are low-cost and will ease you into cybersecurity...plus both the Google and Microsoft certificates have vouchers for the Sec+ and the SC-900 respectively.
Ty for the recommendations!
Would the google cyber security certs land me some interviews?
@@Krmtx it might...some people have had success with it but you can up your chances if you get either the Sec+ (you get a voucher when you complete the course) and either a cloud or security tool cert such as burp suite or splunk
Hooray! Just passed my Security+. Cheers!
it would be cool if you did a video on cyber security related project ideas for resumes and maybe reviewing some too aside from telling us a few ideas you like, great video as always!
Definitely a good video idea! In the meantime I'd check out @JoshMadakor 's video on projects to add to your resume, I think these are super helpful to go through: ua-cam.com/video/P9wz0Sted_I/v-deo.html
Good luck and thanks for the video suggestion :D
Thisssss
Totally agreed, that’s a good idea. I'm trying to find project ideas to put on my resume but I can't find any interesting ones
Many thanks, Sandra! 👏
I have been a web application developer since the late-90s, and this month, I complete a Masters in Cybersecurity. For a work promotion, I will also (eventually) need the CISSP. The Sec+ is next, then I'll look into the SSCP. We shall see...
Take care!
I'll be starting my SSCP in 2023 , need the one year exp but I'll be getting that in my new role , thanks for the video :)
Good Luck!
Could also do a video on how to stand out in your cyber security interview or how to impress interviewers/your boss as an entry level professional
Hey Roman! I have the perfect videos for you actually :D -

Good luck and keep us updated! You got this :)
I passed CompTIA Security+ and IT Specialist: Cybersecurity exams on the same day. Taking on CySA+ very soon.
this is what ive been looking for
thank you
You're the best. Going to work on these before I graduate in 2024
@withSandra What review materials or book references would you recommend for preparing for 1)Security + exam and 2)Certifies Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam. Thanks in advance!
Security + I would say Jason Dion's Training via Udemy is fantastic.
Would you mind doing a video on where and how to even start like schools degrees or certification programs pls. Right now im talking with gwu but I would also like to know about certifications programs or sites that are good and legit
There are two things asked in any industry when is about jobs : experience and level of education.
I have Security+ and GISF next. This is my second term in SANS bachelors program. SSCP is something I would consider take next since I have more that 1-year IT work experience. Cheers!
Awesome and informative! Thank you so much for this :)
Thanks for watching Luca! 😁
You will not want to miss our latest post! It's cool stuff about advanced cyber threats.
Very informative!
@Sandra - Tech & Lifestyle please make a video on Splunk certifications? how to study? which study guide to follow?details about the exam?
Make a separate vid for free certs in this domain 🤞
SSCP is Not a beginner Cert. from ISC2- "SSCP certification demonstrates you have the advanced technical skills and knowledge to implement, monitor and administer IT infrastructure using security best practices, policies and procedures established by the cybersecurity experts at (ISC)²."
Hello sandra mam,
Iam a arts graduate from non IT background. Iam interested in cyber security.
But i have zero knowledge about cyber security.
It would be a good ideas to start my careers into cyber security.
Getting the A+ certification, just to get a damn foot in the door.
I bought a few of those. Security + A+ and C.E.H from thriftbooks for 25 bucks . I started studying for my CCNA because I was told that was my foot in the door. I still want to get it but Im immediately going after my security + afterwards. Networking is great but I wanted security and a network security analyst does pretty well
Thats awesome! Thanks for the recc, i bought textbooks from thriftbooks for my old classes, glad to hear they also have good finds for certs too 😄 good luck with studying!
This video was super helpful! Thanks Sandra!
So glad this was helpful Mike! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you love so helpful!💚💜
Thank you for sharing.
Hi,how many years it takes to get this certificates?
I am planning to pursue a cybersecurity degree within 3 month.I have financial problems, will have to take loans to pay the tuition fees .so i need job after graduation. I am very curious and passionate abour cybersecurity.
Are all the certificates you mentioned in the video a must-have to start a cybersecurity career or is it just one certified course to start a cybersecurity career?
Nope ... but getting the Security + and a cloud security cert like the Azure Security Engineer will go along way.
I have a bachelors in Criminal Justice and no experience in coding or IT whatsoever. I was looking into the Google/Coursera certification program to get me started but now I’m worried I will have add many different certifications on top of that. I want a career change and I thought cyber security would be a cool place to move towards, but do you think this could a be a viable option for someone like me? What would you recommend for certificates for someone with 0 knowledge or experience in a field like this? Thank you!
Any tips for passing security+ I’ve taken a few courses in cyber security including cyber security 1 and preparing for CEH course in the second course. Would studying for a few hours day for a month be enough to pass the exam?
Practice tests and practice questions, do a lot of them! There are security+ practice books you can get on amazon or if you have a subscription like O'Reilly, I probably did hundreds of practice questions after going through the textbook (I used the All in one security+)
Here's the video I made on how I passed my Security+ - ua-cam.com/video/HLDZFJLbcAw/v-deo.html
Also a list of what I used to study:
Comptia Security+ All-in-One (Conklin and White): amzn.to/3760HAr

Good luck Zain, you got this!!
I go thru a book like that in 2 weeks.
I work third shifts, with little to do
So having 6 hours to yourself,it's quite easy to do.
That's awesome Peter! I'm not much of a textbook reader so getting through it was dread LOL.. hadn't read a textbook like that since my freshman year of college in biology class haha
@@WithSandra The last textbook,I needed to study for was in finance,was called the Series7 stockbrokers exam.Took me 10 weeks of about 8 hours a day, including weekends. Past with a 73 which is good enough.This was a 6 hour test ,with 250 questions.This was years ago, so I no longer have the license.As far as state licenses go only CPA and lawyer bar exams are longer.Was glad when that test was done. That was a long day,LOL.
This helped out a lot 🙏
NO CISCO!?😮😮
PLEASE Can you do a video of NON TECHNICAL CYBER SECURITY CERTIFICATION AND JOBS
Added to my list! Thanks for the video suggestion!☺️
Thank You Mam for the Valuable Insights 🙏🏻
Would you recommend the Google cybersecurity cert for landing a first job?
Thanks. It helps me alot
@Ram Rs Thanks so much for watching :)!
Ive been researching the cissp, and looking over some of the domains, but I feel that I need to pursue an entry level cert, that will allow me to land a job ,so I can gain work experience while I continue getting more certs with that being do you think getting The Comptia 6 would be a good start , or what would you recommend? Thanks
I have an important question. For example if I have a history of self harm/self hate does that hurt my chances of getting high paying jobs in the cyber security /it Field? I'm wondering what kind of things are looked at when they do background checks
I am currently working on obtaining a few CERTS from CompTIA.
Great video!
Glad this was helpful! 😁
my 1st Cybersecurity cert was OSCP..
Hi 👋. Thanks for the video.
Hey Smor, thanks so much for watching :D!
Does Security + help with your day to day work in cyber security or does on the job training help more?!
On the job training always trumps
Honestly? I'd say both. Sec + can help you get that first CyberSec job where you will be able to get that hands on experience. Already working in CyberSec? Then the Sec + might be the right option if you are still early in your career, otherwise you may want to look at more advanced certs like the CISSP
I have comtia csa+, does it necessary that I need to take comptia security+? Or will it helpful?
I’m studying for the Compton security+ right now , currently transitioning into tech and cybersecurity, do I need to take the A+ and network + after I pass the security + cert?
Hi Notez! If you're studying for Sec+ and you feel comfortable with the material, I'd go straight for the Sec+, the A+ isn't required nor is the network+. They're completely separate exams. Here're a few resources I used to pass my Security+ cert (get the SY0-601 materials since you're likely taking that version):

Good luck, you got this! :D
Having those certifications first would be beneficial if you are unfamiliar with IT or Networking. I have seen many "Cyber" guys/girls coming into the fold who have not understood how a network works. It is pretty sad, and they are weaker than that.
@@WithSandra Wow so hardworking!
So with all that AI stuff advancing, I guess cyber security jobs would be better and more sought after than junior software dev roles?
Im thinking about making a video about this actually! 👀 it’s definitely a lot harder to replace cybersecurity professionals over dev roles, even with all the automation we have in cybersecurity, its almost impossible to replace humans since machines can only look for what you ask it to look for, compared to coding where I’ve asked chatgpt to find the bug in my code and it does it so easily its shocking 🤯 but thank you for bringingthis up as a vid topic! I agree its going to have an impact in tech longterm but likely less so on cybersecurity than other impacted areas
@@WithSandra that’s super interesting about chatgpt perhaps cyber sec roles would be needed more than ever lol. yes please make a video about it, that would be fantastic. Thanks for the answer & Merry Christmas in advance 🎄:)
@@WithSandra but you had to be a human operating chatgpt , ai can't operate without a humans command that's pretty much with anything computerized
I got my certifications with PECB
Should I do ISC2's SSCP or CC first?
I’m looking to get into a Security Analyst role first and eventually Ethical Hacking. With that being my main focus, should I still get the Network+ Cert or should I go for A+ (for fundamentals) and then straight to Security+ and other security related certifications? Thanks!
I’m curious about this too I’ve heard you need a lot of basic IT knowledge when working in cyber specifically networks so I’m going for all three
What school or certification programs you getting degree or certs from ? I'm having a hard time finding out if it's legit if you don't mind pls help
@@geo0316 comptia
There is no point in studying for the A+ if you’re trying for all three. It’s best to just get sec+ and then move to more advanced security certs
@@billbelicheat4499 Yeah you're correct. I graduated NC state for Cybersecurity and honestly don't waste time like Michael mentioned...Just study for the security + or Network + both are great options.
I'm studying Security+ and would you say that the practice questions in the book you mentioned are also on the exam?
Right now I'm getting my Secuirty+ certification. Should I look to get a job after that or should I get AWS Certified Solutions Architect Certificate, then look for a job? I am a school teacher looking to switch careers
Is sscp better than security plus? Should I get the sec plus and sccp. I take the network plus in January and graduate with a computer science degree in the spring. Thanks
Hello! Thx for the video!
How hard is it to get remote cyber sec US jobs living in other countries?
How do you feel about ISC2 certifications
Do you recommend OSCP cert?
Would the Google certs or min cyber recommend?
Is owning a degree in computer science compulsory to get a job in cyber security?
Nope. It can be a plus but it is definitely not compulsory.
Thank you.
P.s. very beautiful
What do u think about ccna cisco certificate?
What are your thoughts on the comptia CySA for security engineer?
CySA is good base cert for any blue team job. Idk about going straight for security engjneer with that alone but it would work for a security analyst role (+ some prior IT exp)
Hi is the comptia security + just an exam or a course to take?
Im having the hardest time with interviews for cybersec roles and i already have my certs while working on diffrent projects. Any tips.
Get experience in IT.
Get your CV reviewed.
I just spoke with a friend about possibly getting into cyber. I am planning to study for the Sec + using Testout's material. Have you heard of them?
Shit material, you're better off using Mike Myers.
@@Moynzy I've seen Mike Myers videos and they are pretty good. Only thing is his website doesn't offer labs for the Sec +.
I am about to to cyber security bootcamp but I don’t have IT degree/background. After getting certified in bootcamp, what possible chances are there to get an entry level job in cybersecurity??
Null.
Experience background over bootcamp.
Get started in help desk. Cybersecurity isn't entry level. shake my head.
can you get a job with cyber security with ONLY a cybersecurity certificate from google?
GREAT QUESTION. I made a video reviewing the Google Cybersecurity cert posted yesterday, this program gives you foundational knowledge and hands on skills plus access to Google's employer job board (has 150+ employers) so yes, but I'd say you should also take your Security+, which this program also prepares you for, so you have the best credentials on your resume to apply for entrylevel cybersecurity jobs and wider range of roles to apply for. Goodluck!!
If you already have your sec+ is there any reason to get your network+
Yeah.
Cyber security.
"Cyber". You need to know how to fucking protect a network. You need the fundamentals.
Just curious why you didn't mentioned OSCP?
Maybe it's not an entry-level one..
Simply because it isn't an entry level certification lel
Nice
Glad this was helpful Avinash! 😁
all of them! 😆🤣😂👏👏👏
Hola
please check the background voice. it annoys.
Are you a Virgo or Capricorn
👍👍

Appreciate you Phabeon! 😁👋🏻
I know I should be focusing on cyber security, but damn, that is one thirst trappin' thumb nail 😉😅

This was very helpful! Thank you so much ma’am! 🫡
