What I do as a Cloud Security Engineer

Job titles in cloud can be confusing to say the least and the delineation between job roles is even more confusing. It's important to understand the role you're striving for so follow me as I take you through my day to day as a cloud security engineer working as a contractor for the government.

Thanks for this totally non simplified explanation video bro! I have a great concept of what takes place now.

I just accepted an offer to work in as a Cloud Cybersecurity Engineer, and I am excited looking forward to the journey. I will ensure to be tuned into this channel in the future for more information.

Dude, nice video! From one cloud security engineer to another you hit the nail on the head.

As a cybersecurity lead with 15 years of exp I approve the advices given in this video 👍 Especially the one that states you are not the first person to create a specific solution in 95%, and if you are in those 5% - you can take the existing solutions, take some time to analyse and think and get to the point

[Qukk.]

Thanks for the video, dude. I am currently finishing my first programs in cybersecurity, and right now I am taking Python courses to be able to automate tasks. Three months ago I started this journey and without a doubt the cloud is what most attracts my attention. I noticed you changed areas, so I hope you're happy where you are now. :)

Great video bro! I need to make a video for Day in the life of a cloud engineer soon!

[bloxy]

Great video!! Very interesting and glad the dog got a second in the video ! 😄 This is the route I’m wanting to go down, Cloud Security Analyst though, less of the actual building. But I need to learn that too, so I know how to review and how things should be.

I really like the real-life example solutions. Very good ideas/project I might also implement.

[cryptodavidw]

I'm a security engineer and this was pretty good.

Can you please tell us the learning path to become a cloud security professional for a beginner?

[hesterpanim]

Down to earth, dirt simple friendly advice! I love the part @ 14:19 where you say, "I had no idea what I was doing" You def past the humility test! 😇 What advice could anyone give for python resources to learn for cloud automation like Andrew mentioned? Thank You and good luck on your journey.

I love cyber security but my communication skills suck, I definitely know I won't be moving up in management. I enjoy the configuration and setting up of servers. Which sub field would you advice that has the least communication and meetings lol?

[rmcgraw]

NIST 800-53 is a control baseline document (much like CIS controls, but targeted to federal needs), not a framework. NIST CSF is a framework, of which 53 is a tiny part.

[alphagenisis]

This is insight I can build on, thank you.

[JacobDavidTroia]

Hey Andrew! I have a pretty off-the-track question for the other side of things. I'm a recruiter looking for a Cloud Security Operations Engineer, what are some engineering positions I could look for outside of people already working in your position that would be solid to reach out to possibly move into work as a Cloud Security Engineer? DevOps? General Cloud Engineers? Would help me widen my search like crazy.

[matscloud]

Great video, you're apsolutely right, Cloud Security cannot be "Cloud police", it should be used as an automated control and prevention

[seetsamolapo]

Off tangent but won't selling businesses these automation solutions mean that ultimately there's no requirement for the very security engineers themselves?

[Falcon]

Very interesting field that I am definitely considering. What kind of salaries have you seen in this field?

[thezubairrahim]

Subscribed and looking for more career guidance videos on Cloud Security.

from the perspective of a cloud security engineer could you weigh in on the pros and cons of different types of practical work experience in other technical roles that dont have security as the primary focus and the advantages of bypassing traditional or 'formal' experience by owning a glowing mechanical keyboard?
