After I refersh my CCNA I am taking my Sec+ then starting to study for CISSP. How hard is that test?
Sec+ assures that you understand and have great baseline knowledge of security - "CIA" triad in a nutshell, where's the CISSP is actually applying that knowledge in imperfect situations to help mitigate risks for organizations.. They literally will touch on the same knowledge areas, but from 2 wildly different angles. When they say that the CISSP's test range is 2 inches thick, but a mile wide.. they aren't kidding...
For sure. I plan on several classes from a variety of vendors. I already have a team going on Cisco and some of the Comptia classes. I most definitely want to get the CISSP in there soon. I plan on knocking mine out this summer.
When you do.. hit me up if you need a sponsor... I would like to sign up for your ccna class though..
Any new updates? I am in networking and looking to switch to security soon.

Wrong..... your government security clearance doesn't go with you. It ends when your employment ends
I wouldn't say I'm an Azure admin.....but its close. I'm an Azure IAM Security Engineer at Microsoft.
I have the same position at another company, but not on an Azure platform. Okta Identity Manager, Sailpoint, Siteminder, and CyberArk.
Do it. Im an IT manager, none of my sys admins know Azure. I do all things Azure my self.
Leverage... Didn't say transfer.
Correct, being clearable...or having held matters(especially if it is current)
After help desk, try to get on a SIEM team. This will expose you to more operational teams. Get your Security+. Figure out what niche you want to specialize in. Firewalls, AWS, virtualization, patching, vulnerability, networking, data protection, etc.
This.
I started at helpdesk......then transitioned to Desktop Engineering to System Administrator to SOC Analyst to IAM Security Engineer.
I recently got my Azure Administrator Certification.....but...I am not currently working in the field. I am taking my time before I make a decision as to what type of company/positions to apply for. Literally zero actual cloud support experience.
Honestly.....everything happened because of Covid and having to sit at home for the most of last year. That Netflix and chill shit got old and boring so quickly, so, I was looking for something else to do at home.. A friend of mine sent me a link to a training program via Cognixia offering courses in AWS, Microsoft Azure and a few others. Out of curiosity I reached out to the recruiter in charge and received more detailed information on how the classes were broken down plus cost etc. I'm not sure why I chose Azure, but, one of the reasons was the free exam voucher they included in the price for that course.
It was from November to January, every weekend from 7am to 1pm both days. About 7 other students and easy access to instructor. I did a bunch of practice exams for the entire month of February and then took the exam on March 3rd. A total of 63 questions.
The only difficulty I had was being able to easily follow the instructor during live class. He was from India and his accent was pretty thick. Each class was available for replay on their platform, so, I would go back and watch the class again and again if needed.
Congrats.
Appreciate the breakdown. Thats Dope, congrats again.
Dont even know where to start..
Seems there's so many diffrent avenues to break through in this IT/Cyber field.
Just recently started studying for Sec+, now I'm hearing Dev Ops/AWS, etc is the way to go.
Question is, which way do I go??
Kinda hurts too bcus I spent 5 fucking yrs pursuing an EE degree, and my ceiling with that is somewhat limited it seem. Meanwhile, I coulda transferred all that energy into getting all kinds of certs, gaining experience along the way, and saving tons of dollars

You are going to need more experience for Dev Ops. Just get in and you'll know which way to go.
Are
So is Sec+ a prereq to DevOps??
Not really trying waste any more time like I did with EE. Do they both bleed into each other, or are they separate trajectories??
Is a Sec+ position (help desk, etc) good enuff experience for DevOps?

My job constantly hiring Azure Admins......if u got that cert....u in the door. Plenty of remote opportunities as well.

CISSP is much easier than CCNA....believe me.
less technical.
oh man....far from it.
if you want to venture into DevOps, i suggest you learn some type of scripting language,...(Perl, Python, Bash, etc)
but learn AWS Solutions Architect first.......you really dont need any IT experience to learn that. but if you're gonna move on to AWS Developer,
it would be good to know at least some kind of programming language. I would prefer python.
I bought a course in Hadoop and Docker...because I also want to get into that environment eventually. So i'll have to learn Apache (Pig, Flume) Cassandra, Hive, etc. Sec+ has nothing to do with none of these when it comes to DevOps.
DevOps can have many definitions depending on what company you go to with half not really knowing what the hell it is. I would say DevOps falls more heavily on the development/coding as it's basically a software development framework for rapidly deploying software in micro level functionality usually in containerized format vs the traditional waterfall software delivery method.
This.
Also, coders like doing stuff on the cheap and cutting corners. This has put a spotlight on DevOps from the security side. Coders hate it, but hey you have to know whats going on in these containers. The more you know on the security side, the less headaches you'll have when your audits happen.
Damn, this is a dope thread. I have decided I'm going to study for the security + and take this test in by the end of October. I don't know much about computers like that but I have a pretty good memory. I have the dumps for the 501 and I've started watching professor messer. I'm going to assume I should be good in a few weeks. I got to get out of claims adjusting. Its pretty good money but that shit too stressful.
