I want you to know that out of all the cybersecurity channels on YouTube, yours has been the most accurate, practical, and realistic. You deserve more subs. Anyone reading this, this guy knows his stuff.

I’m currently in the Air Force serving on my 14th year as a military policeman. I’m looking to transition my career to cybersecurity. I really appreciate the information. It helps me develop a roadmap.

[timecopTwo]

What would we have done without this channel? For me this channel is like pure gold. I mean there are alot of people on youtube that don't know what they are talking about, but I always knew that the unix guy talks clear, confident, and straight and honest. Thank-you for all the the work you put in😃

[xxlpdsb]

Man i've been lost for so long. All i need is a roadmap and you laid it out perfectly. Thank you sir

[JosephBerru]

Mr. Unix Guy, just saw your video (just released 1 hour ago) and again, how informative with your step-by-step process that you map out for this career! You without a doubt Sir, are the best of the best! I love your knowledge, experience and tenacity! Keep those videos going as I always take away a chunk of knowledge from them that I didn't have before. The videos also provide motivation and determination to succeed as in my case! Just as simple as follow the path you provide and NEVER QUIT!!! Never listen to the toxic garbage, just keep going! In my world and prior career, you would most definitely be leading a Division of Investigators!!! Have an AWESOME day my friend! Joe

I currently work as a systems administrator. I am looking to make the switch to cybersecurity very soon. Good luck, everyone!

[Achreios]

That is certainly one of the most valuable videos about security in Youtube history. Most respect to UnixGuy 🙌

[samha]

Here with yet another golden roadmap I’m still following the old one and almost done. I have learned a lot and my resume looks much better and I feel so confident.

[Shadkow]

I'm taking the google cyber security cert and it's great, of course I'm not taking it for the certification itself (though it doesn't hurt at ALL) but the information inside of it is amazing and helped me prep for like 90% of security +.

I started off my cybersecurity career landing a remote GRC role straight out of boot camp. I already had a business and decided to take advantage of my training during the pandemic. I want to build on my technical skills. I've obtained several free certifications as a veteran and I plan to pivot to Cyber Security Engineer. Honestly, I was already comfortable in my business. I just really enjoy cybersecurity also.

I'm trying to focus on a specific cyber career, but every time I come across one of your videos, like this one, I change my mind. So many choices! I appreciate all your hard work. Thanks.

[Jussomerando]

Yet again. Another phenomenal, easy to follow pathway video. Thank you so much for the info.

[DubaiPrince]

Your videos give me so much confidence! Definitely following your roadmap on becoming a cybersecurity analyst. Already done with 5 of the 8 courses for the google cert! Thank you so much for the informative videos and portfolio building!

[RYDERSEC]

I love how precise and clear your content is. Thank you 🥰

[ksj]

You should do a detailed video about Python integration into the cybersecurity space. Love your content, thanks!

[HELLSTRM]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT‼️ Thank you for being resilient & laying out the road map to become a Security Engineer. I was curious about this path too. This helps me out more than you know😃🙌🏽 Please keep defying the naysayers, gatekeepers, & haters. You’re a truth telling inspiration to us all. Cheers mate!

[prantikkarmakar]

really love your videos, I’d be so lost without your videos. Thank you so much

[Bedelsol]

Hi, I completed your Cyber Security GRC course and added it to my resume. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I do hold IBM and Google cyber security Certs, however, it's been hard to find a job since I am transitioning from a healthcare career. Most jobs require CompTIA + Certs, and I am planning to take the exam soon.

[emmanueldark]

Unix Guy is among the top 5ive Cyber/Tech YouTubers I follow. The fact he started he's gonna pi$$ off the gatekeepers shows he got his finger on the pulse of what's going on in the education/training for Security Careers.
