Hi, thanks for the videos, today was my first day as SOC analyst, thanks you for all the past blogs such as home lab that you had shared it really helps me alot. Hope to see more cloud security content from you ☺️

Valuable content man. It’s been a privilege to watch your career growth. Idk how you don’t have 100k subscribers on YouTube already

[micahbabinski]

Great to see you doing wonderfully in your new position, Day! Your enthusiasm is infectious. BTW, I would love more videos on detection engineering!

[craigheard]

Congrats Day. I'm so happy you found a role that you really enjoy and I am a HUGE fan of cloud. Any information you can keep providing is appreciated. Really happy for you. Well done! I am trying to transition as a new grad into Cloud/vuln management/Ethical Hacking so any information you have is appreciated.

Been following your career for the last year or so. You are smashing it. Keep up the great work!

[nicoleenesse]

Love your explanation of the difference between the analyst and engineer mindset. Great video!

[okegsreal]

Congrats bro. Watched your journey and still watching and you're an inspiration. Currently trying to learn python but I keep falling asleep lol. Do you think a deep dive study for aws saa cert covers a lot of what is needed to branch to cloud security?

Just wanted to stop by to congratulate you on all of your success Day! You’ve helped me out tremendously🙌🏽 I recently landed a cybersecurity specialist role with a multinational law firm. My desire within this security industry is become a cloud security engineer sooner or later😄

[emmanuelb.]

Great vid sir, congrats again on the new role. Did you ever get to tag your desk / chair setup ? That would be great. Thanks

[MA-trbe]

Hey man! I really enjoy your content keep doing it!

[Realitytc]

Dope video bro! Currently in the middle of a career change right now, I’m ultimate goal is to become a security engineer, working on my sec+ right now, does your job require coding skills?

[shkwerm]

Do you have any laptop recommendations to get started in studying for a cloud career .. I will go for A+ N+ S+ and learn python along with the CompTIA certs then I plan on working on AWS and Linux . And want a good laptop to have long term any tips ?

[Flexiblility]

How would you rate the wgu cc program. Did it fully prepare you to make your transition.

[JKSTechLab]

Nice! Sounds like a great place to be!

[milkteaboba]

Hi Day! What sort of skills are necessary to be a security engineer at DataDog? As a cloud security engineer, do you need to know certain skills in the cloud? IAM? FW?

[freshswagga]

Do you know what are the best certs for cloud security?

[milkteaboba]

For Cloud security engineering role, which domain is high demand? GCP, AWS, Azure?

[MeechKingz]

Hey do you have any advice for someone is wants to go down a similar path as someone like yourself and needs a starting point for a first job? like what certifications should i get, what are some good starting jobs?

[somankhan]

Hey bro, do you think the best way for a new grad (graduating next year) to get into cloud security engineering is land a cloud engineer role first, since that may be more attainable to land coming out of school, and then transition to cloud security?

[marquisgarison]

In either role, do you code a lot? If so, what languages do you use?
