I’ve been watching your videos for the past six months and I get a lot from it, and now I finally get my first job as a cybersecurity engineer after two years of studying.. keep up the good work.

[s.c]

I'm literally mapping out this road map right now so I can follow it to a T. I hope to come back to this comment section one day to let you guys know how this video changed my life. Thank you UnixGuy <3

[NorwayLars]

I love this ❤ Thank you for all your hard work.

Been stuck fixing it equipment for 13 years, im now motivated to do this!

Got no experience with Cyber Security, but im eager to learn.

Your videos have helped so much. As a network engineer trying to shift into security. You give such clear cut realistic ways to get it done.

This is a good roadmap to become a cloud security engineer, just sharing a little bit of my experience as a cloud security engineer. I started as a cloud engineer for around 1 year and a half before transitioning to cloud security engineer AZ-500 is a really good certification to get after AZ-104.
I did a lot of mini labs projects of Microsoft Sentinel & Microsoft Defender for the cloud during my free time, and network security is also essential 😊
Good luck for everyone ❤

[augustopagnossimfrigo]

Thank you, this roadmap is exactly what i was looking for

[Doussssssss]

You are the best mentor ever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[dian]

Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you. I am currently studying AWS and I have CompTIA Sec+. Also doing a Security internship where I play with Azure/AD/Secure Score.

[shadrachwilson]

Great content there. I like the step by step approach you used the video. Hopefully i follow thru and with consistency I’m surely gonna excel. Thank you Sir🙏🏾😊

[ICEcoldAryan]

Another great and insightful video from you, i am learning a ton of new from your channel.
Really liked this one!

So glad I found your page, I have no idea why at my age Ive been so attracted to cyber security. But watching your videos excite and motivated me to keep going. Also thank you you are the second professional that I have seen on this YouTube that has said if you're in a cloud security why do you need Tia I know it's a good start to have however if I'm going in a opposite direction why do I need to have that

This video is launched at the perfect timing for me. As I am going through my Google Cert., I was feeling like too many people are going through the same road to end up as SOC analysts and I needed a differentiator. On the other hand I was also keen on learning cloud technologies. Now I can see learning Cloud together with Cyber Security as a background and hopefully turning into a cloud security engineer is the way to go for me. Thank you

[stalwart]

I have A+ and SC-900 and am continuing to study. I was worried about the lack of practical experience, however, and was wondering how I was supposed to develop this in order to make myself ready for an entry-level role. I'd never heard of "Guided Projects" until now – thank you so much!

[damonaniton]

This is the kind of information people really need to hear. Too many people want to be a "trainer" and make money selling courses to show people how to pass an exam. There is not enough information to help people understand which certs and why they should focus on to map their career out.

[devetips]

I want to thank you for providing such a valuable guide. I am considering transitioning from mobile development to the cloud security domain and was looking for a roadmap to guide me. Thank you again.

You never fail to hit the big points! Certifications are good to get past HR, but practical experience is key to not only getting hired but also becoming an asset. Hiring and Program managers will usually ask practical application questions that can't be answered with A, B, or C. Do those projects for hands-on skill and never stop developing yourself.
