Break into Cybersecurity in 2022 (Entry Level GRC Role)

In this video, I'm sharing a GRC job that will lend itself to entry-level opportunities and will be in demand in late 2021, early 2022 as the federal government begins requiring companies to be certified in accordance with CMMC which will require professionals to help prepare an organization, independently audit, and consult.

This video explains what CMMC is, where it came from, what you need to know as a cybersecurity professional.

Thanks for this great video, Gerald! Love the idea for entry-level people to focus on CMMC. A bit easier to compete when no one has much experience with a new standard.

[JonathonConnorOfficial]

Yet again I'm grateful for having come across your YouTube channel and chatted with you. This video is another fine example of how willing you are to help people get into the cybersecurity space. It's very interesting as far as an opportunity for entry level jobs in the cybersecurity area. I'm going to check out all the links and do some research on it. Thank you so much again and looking forward to the book. :-) PS digging the 80s style background colors. Totally rad! :-)

Hi Gerald, since the first day I checked on your YouTube site, I’ve NEVER looked back. You’re always providing relevant, very useful education on Cybersecurity.

Thanks so much.

[cyberja]

Started my career shift to GRC. So I really appreciate this valuable information.

[JP-wdyo]

This channel is bad ass dude, the vids like everyone of them. props

[davidcase]

Awesome video as always G. Definitely this hits home for me as GRC was my first stepping stone in Security. I know what I am brushing up on now :D

100% can relate to having examples on how the control is being described, sometimes when a a question is so technical I find myself having to google real-world examples on how that is being used in an environment so that I can obviously evaluate it. (Thank you for the excel sheet!)

Thank you for this great content as it gives me hope I can finally break into the cyber security field. Currently an AML compliance analyst I have hopes of switching paths into Cyber as I completely my masters and obtaining Sec + over the past two years. This field sounds like something I can do that won’t harp on my lack of technical skills.

[Zalola]

Thank you very much for sharing this info Gerald. Actually, all your videos are very informative especially for people like me just starting on Cybersecurity..

[RecreateBeautyy]

Thanks for all of this info. I had already attended a webinar around CMMC - so this helped make more sense of tactics for my career.

[novi]

Great video. Thanks for diving into CMMC! I am looking at GRC roles and CMMC is a hot topic.

[ImNGHTMRE]

I love your channel. I recently graduated from a cyber security boot camp and I’m brand new to information security as a whole. Your videos have helped me understand more about the job landscape and helped guide my decision making for the certifications that I will be getting and my overall direction within the space. Thank you!

[CyberSecZac]

Definitely looking into this CMMC certification.
