Pretty astonishing the fact I've learned way more useful information in this 8 min video compared to my one semester in university

[detector_aryan]

Can you make a roadmap for begginers who are from non-tech background and do wanna start from scratch level

[AliHassan-ykew]

1. Building and using Virtual Machines, VMs
2. Learn Command line interface, Shell
3. System Administration
4. Computer networking
5. Personel digital security

Some other useful skills : Problem-solving, curiosity, self-learning, ability to work in a group and meticulous attention to detail

You just summarize what I've experienced in the industry for the past 3yrs in just 8mins, and I totally agree with this. I'm actually hooked in creating a remediation plan for every vulnerability found in every VA scans(host and port, webapp, DB, etc.) implementation to our assets...kudos!

5:58 from what I've been reading and have been told in my Cisco classes is that OSI is the older model that didn't really pan out as it was not as vendor friendly as the TCP/IP model that eventually became standard. We still use OSI as a standard for explaining where things such as what layers packets vs segments are on the network as they're being sent.

This is the simplest way to understand what learning cyber security starts from. And the way you speaking is really clear to catch for non English native like me. Thank you for making this video. Will check your other one.

[fridayknight]

This guy certainly has command over what he is speaking.

That's nice!! Keep it up bro!!

THE Perfect line " Don't run away, embrace it".. Love you

Finally someone who's acquiescent when teaching and makes everything as structured as possible to make it straight to the point using his own words.

‘I became the family helpdesk’ - that statement is so true for all security colleague I know. Really laughed so hard. I missed a very important one in this list: security risk management. Yes, skills matter, but money of companies is never indefinite, yes cybersecurity is important but it does come with a price tag. As a cybersecurity professional you need to understand both your security goals as well as accept that sometimes not going for better security is a better option. Sometimes you have to do 80% or sometimes nothing at all. No 100% security can be reached, never, it’s simply too expensive. Risk management helps to manage that expectancy. Cheers!

I'm just beginning to look into a new career in cybersecurity and this really helped me to understand what I need to be familiar with.

[aditivadhavkar]

Wow...in such a small time u almost explained every single word. Awesome !!

[BR-jxzd]

That was a pretty brilliant video, succinct and informative. From the point of view of a newby in IT, your work certainly gave me a fair bit to think about. Thank you and keep them coming!

[NiyiTiti]

Thank you so much for this video. It will be nice to have a video for each of the bullet points - one for VM, another for CLI etc. They don't have to be detailed but should put the beginners on the path to mastery (direction to resources and necessary guidelines)

[duurduranto]

I was having a hard time deciding what to do in IT industry and this video made my decision much simpler. Extremely helpful ❤❤❤
