I love how you brought this up about how everyone is looking at only cybersecurity analyst or SOC analyst. This makes me want to go into IAM a lot more and very interested in this role now. Good video by the way and thanks for the information.

Hi Ken.. really liked the video. I am based in Hong Kong and fresh out of college and have got a job as an IAM engineer. Could you tell me if an IAM role can help me develop as a cyber security engineer say in 3-5 years? Or will I be stuck with IAM roles forever? Haha.. Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks for the video. Any advice for trying to land one of these types of jobs with no experience? I'll be graduating from WGU with my B.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and what I've learned so far is that I'm not as interested in being a SOC analyst or Pen tester, but managing access feels like something I would like to do. I would definitely like to pursue a Sailpoint cert since that seems to come up a lot when I look at job postings, but a degree and certs with no experience, I'm not sure if that's enough to get my career started in this area.

I'm Okta professional. I was thinking about going for my administrator and Microsoft Identity access certification also. Do you think it's necessary? I have a lot of certifications but I got almost everything for Free.
