How To Get Cyber Security Experience Before You Get A Job

How do you get Cyber Security experience before you get a job?

Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss new content!

Entry level jobs frequently want 2-5+ years of Cyber Security experience. As a result, beginners can become extremely frustrated. When I was a beginner I was in the same position you are now. How can you get experience before you get a job? For example, did you know that many vendors offer trial periods for products? On the other hand websites like eBay sell used gear. In other words, you do not always need the latest technology to build Cyber Security experience.

Do not make the mistake of assuming you will get experience when you finally land a job! Join me for easy ways to build your Cyber Security experience at home. Most importantly, this strategy will make you more attractive to potential employers!

This is well noted. Will definitely refer to the resources which you've indicated on the video description. Very insightful video. Currently gaining experience relevant to Cyber Security while pursuing my degree in the University. Thank you.

Jon - I was looking at your excellent career roadmap in the newsletter, and I’m I’ve also run across coursera’s website (and reviews with Pros/Cons) and its list of company partners and certification offerings. So do u think it would be helpful:
1. to complete one of their certificate programs given by IBM for a cybersecurity product like Qradar, and thereby increase your hiring odds for an entry level position?
2. Or Use coursera in conjunction with other cybersecurity cert tests
3. Get AWS cloud admin certification via cert test.
Realizing that there are only so many hours in a day/month to accomplish certification, what would you recommend?

@Jon Good Nice NAS in the background brother 👌 👏 👍 🙌 😎 🙏

[haythamelsangry]

thanks for this video and please go ahead with this series so we can build experience with home labs.

Anyone knows which certs would match the UK market. I heard that CompTIA is not recognised by employers in the UK.

[duurduranto]

Another awesome video. Keep em coming. Can't wait for the next one

[charliethompson]

thankyou for the videos. always nice to have opinions and a pathway that has been successful to set you up on your own path. im currently in a dilemma as to how to start off with my foundation learning. now I have spoke to a company that provide the compti courses however I have also come across an undergraduate university course which in 4 - 5 years will give me a degree in cyber security. would be grateful for some advice on the potentials of both and if im fast tracking by going for the university course.

Great content, thank you very much. I have the option of getting a 2019 windows server. Should I get standard or data center version? I also see 50 user CAL and 50 Device CAL, any importance?

[naruharu]

This was very informative! Could you make a video about the different paths of cyber security? I know the basics of Kali Linux but when I talk to other members in the field, they don't seem to know anything about it, they know what it is but don't know what to do, or they know how to use it.

[fabriciogarcia]

Thanks a lot for the video. I have a one question: i want to start my cybersecurity career doing the CCNP scor 350-701, i dont have previous certification, is a good idea?

[checknate]

Is operating your own cloud server with ownCloud on you network a good option to gain practical experience on configuring an apache server securely?

[tannerh]

I want to become a SOC analyst entry level. I have a degree in International Relations. My background is in Management wanting to switch careers. I am finishing up my Network+, then onto Security Plus+, then I will begin with Linux+. I have zero desire to do helpdesk. Should this be enough to get an entry level security analyst role?

[SpookVolt]

Is this ideal for someone who has a background in security guard work who wants to transition to digital security?

[BooksBros]

What about Kali Linux? If I use that will that give me Linux experience

[mervinmontalban]

Building a home lab please I have no idea where to begin

[infosec]

This path way in field cyber security he seems that good for me
1 : CS50 ( just a look)
2: IT fundamental (just a look)
3: A+
4:security+
5 : network+ and CCNA routing & switching +CCNA security
6: Operating systems[(windows & linux(with various distributions )]
7:programming (C+ python)
so, how do you look this roadmap ?
Give me your opinion about this roadmap
and tell me which your roadmap you prefer it ?
