*What 5 skills do YOU think are the most important for cyber security?*
Networking maybe?
I would say a combination of the skills you mentioned.
Understanding the OS you are using, how the network around are working and how it can be exploited.
and you forgot layer 8 in the OSI Model ... the Human :P
I think we're saving Layer 8 for another video đ
System Admin, for sure the most important skill as it encompasses all other skills you talked about
How To Use A Photocopier And How To Install Printer Drivers
1-OS(linux-windows)
2-networking (ccna)
3-programming
4-hardware (a+)
5-?
@@Cyberspatial hahahahahhh
I was waiting for someone to ask where the fifth is
The fifth is strength, will, patience and passion
number 3 is the hardest.
@@fireeye33 absolutly but the others are very very easy
You will hate yourself in the beginning of learning programming đđđ
Be patient
Good luck
@@user-qj3kj7xe2c does cybersecurity require any specific programming language ?
Pretty astonishing the fact I've learned way more useful information in this 8 min video compared to my one semester in university
Haha I'm both excited that this video was helpful and disappointed in your university
Were you sleeping during your whole semester or what? There is nothing being actually thought here, there are just some topics that you should know and explore. Hell, I knew a lot about all these topics way before going to university... vms, shell, scripting, networking, operating systems. Itâs the passion and curiosity that should move you, if you had to go to the university and than accidentally discover all these things by accident watching a CZcams video, I wonder what youâve been doing.
@@ShinigamiAnger glad to see you actually knew everything mentioned in the video beforehand, way before university, so good for you. At the same time you should know that not everyone is as smart as you, and some people simply don't have the soil for nurturing that curiosity you've mentioned, which is so crucial during school lifetime. And yeah, I did a lot of stuff in my university and got red diploma last year. It's not even an achievement, honestly, because I know how much I'm lacking and I wish to learn a lot of things. Cybersecurity just might be one of them.
It typically goes that way smh. Ima firm believer in self teaching
What a geeeeeeek
Can you make a roadmap for begginers who are from non-tech background and do wanna start from scratch level
Thanks for the feedback, we'll look into something like this!
@@Cyberspatial i am one of em lol
That would be perfect
@@cheftank I think better start is comtpia A+ though
First of all becoming good at anything is loving it fall in love with it and grow your passion towards it because it is that love toward that thing that will keep u going forward when things gonna get though and energy consuming
1. Building and using Virtual Machines, VMs
2. Learn Command line interface, Shell
3. System Administration
4. Computer networking
5. Personel digital security
ok so what certs do you need to get for this?
@@LRNXLRNX computer networking, maybe u should do a ccna test from cisco
@@angga.arijaya9661 CCNA is super hard from the get to, get something easier first.
@@klemenkovacic9109yea..start with A+ first then Net+ and go to CCNA..no need to sec+ as long as you are going to networjing route
I literally do this on a daily basis as a systems engineer.... but have no qualifications :/
Some other useful skills : Problem-solving, curiosity, self-learning, ability to work in a group and meticulous attention to detail
Iâm good at that stuff. All of it.
@@rwhoosh5522 thats interesting.....how were you able to cope with all these whiles keeping up with cybersecurity?
THE Perfect line " Don't run away, embrace it".. Love you
5:58 from what I've been reading and have been told in my Cisco classes is that OSI is the older model that didn't really pan out as it was not as vendor friendly as the TCP/IP model that eventually became standard. We still use OSI as a standard for explaining where things such as what layers packets vs segments are on the network as they're being sent.
This is correct
agree, i also take cisco classes also
True. OSI is the older one, and TCP/IP is the newer one. Perhaps, he didn't took the cisco classes XD
Exactly That's what I have thought.
This is the simplest way to understand what learning cyber security starts from. And the way you speaking is really clear to catch for non English native like me. Thank you for making this video. Will check your other one.
You just summarize what I've experienced in the industry for the past 3yrs in just 8mins, and I totally agree with this. I'm actually hooked in creating a remediation plan for every vulnerability found in every VA scans(host and port, webapp, DB, etc.) implementation to our assets...kudos!
Melvin Castro awesome thank you!
This guy certainly has command over what he is speaking.
That's nice!! Keep it up bro!!
Pranjal Sarkar thank you!
Finally someone who's acquiescent when teaching and makes everything as structured as possible to make it straight to the point using his own words.
Many thanks!
Are you a posh bot using fancy words?
This guy has his hand movements nailed down. Ricky "Handgod" Tan
I'm just beginning to look into a new career in cybersecurity and this really helped me to understand what I need to be familiar with.
Glad to hear it!
Yeah same a I've been out of work for several years but previously worked in IT. I'm thinking of going to college and doing a course on cyber security.
Andy Rennie You donât have to go the long way. Just get either the CISSP, OSCP, or CEH. Then do the switch to an entry Cybersecurity job. Youâll start to get experience right away.
@@Daniel-iv6kb Hi Mary, thanks very much for the info. I honestly would go this route but I've been out of work since 2012 due to spinal injuries so my reason for going to college is to introduce me to a 9-5 routine & college etc up here in Scotland is free.
Andy Rennie ahh I see. If itâs free then do go for it. Here in the States it could potentially cost you upwards of $50,000.
But youâre getting into really exciting field, that will get even more exciting later on. I mean weâre bound to have cyber police at some point or another.
Then we have the big bounty hunters who can make side money finding bugs from company programs/websites. They could also become mercenaries and sell the exploit to higher bidders like Zerodium.
Personally Iâm going for the blue team, I think there is more potential in creating programs that stop hackers.
For instance, a potential program is one that handles passwords for employees. They are the weakest link in a network after all. So they should only use biometrics to log in anywhere.
A multi-factor authentication using fingerprint/iris scan and a text message would be great in my opinion.
âI became the family helpdeskâ - that statement is so true for all security colleague I know. Really laughed so hard. I missed a very important one in this list: security risk management. Yes, skills matter, but money of companies is never indefinite, yes cybersecurity is important but it does come with a price tag. As a cybersecurity professional you need to understand both your security goals as well as accept that sometimes not going for better security is a better option. Sometimes you have to do 80% or sometimes nothing at all. No 100% security can be reached, never, itâs simply too expensive. Risk management helps to manage that expectancy. Cheers!
Wow...in such a small time u almost explained every single word. Awesome !!
Aditi Vadhavkar thanks!
What do you think about this path ??!
for me I'm prefer learning first IT after that A+ and network+ and linux + windows and language of programing (C + python) I hope answering me my blood
With youtube and with channels like yours I have learnt mastered in 2 years time practical realistic skillsets without any costs absolutely free & earlier spent from 1978 - 2018 about 40 years of my life in school colleges universities with bills of around USD 300K & after all this I was not able to secure a job I wanted. Most parents because of their ignorance lack of knowledge spend millions by borrowing money take bank loans become bankrupt & later realise that results they got after 20 30 years of books schools universities education is nothing zero
Looking to get back into education after a few years out and liked the idea of cyber security as I can apply to do a degree in it đ this video helped me realise this is the sector I want to get into!
Thank you so much for this video. It will be nice to have a video for each of the bullet points - one for VM, another for CLI etc. They don't have to be detailed but should put the beginners on the path to mastery (direction to resources and necessary guidelines)
That was the idea at first. Networking and security is harder to explain in presentation mode. Looking to do more storytelling format.
Wow! I am a confused Cyber Security beginner who you just normalized with this short video. You're the real expert. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment!
As a current computer science student aiming for cybersecurity, that was amazing thx
Go for it! Many computer science courses focus a lot on applied math and theory. A lot of the practical skills you've really got to learn on your own for cyber security.
I was having a hard time deciding what to do in IT industry and this video made my decision much simpler. Extremely helpful â€â€â€
Glad it helped!
any update on your journey sir?
i'm also having a hard time making a decision on what skills i should be focusing on
@@aronvillaluna548 I've moved on to a different route.
This really left me speechless and excited. Thank you
Thanks for sharing! đ Good simple roadmap for those whoâd like to enter the field and potentially go into a technical role like SOC Analyst, Penetration tester, etc
I did IT,and I have been having a hard time deciding what I want to specialize in,and this is it,It entails everything that I'm passionate aboutâ€.Thank you so much.
I already knew all of these and I want to start learning now but Iâm happy that you keeping me motivated!
Motivation is everything. Keep it up!
You are a genius
A good path for training others would be using the bash shell to . Things I would think off the top would be partitioning, extending or non-destructive alteration of the disks on linux. Then you can do basic networkin for linux, install (without a package manager), ssh and file system alterations (copy. move , recursive, etc). Great intro video.
My first Linux distro was Slackware. Everything you mentioned but compile from source. Was a beast but totally worth it!
This channel is truly a goldmine! Thanks CZcams algorithm!
Thanks CZcams algorithm for bringing you to us too!
Probably the MOST informative yet concise video presentation on the subject. Superb!
I literally did the same exact thing, curiosity got the best of me and the more I researched and played around on windows virtual machines and Lennox virtual machines it was definitely the way to go. Now Iâm an IT engineer for a big company
As well as keeping the networking but I went to school for that one
I'm thinking of pursuing a career in this. I'm 26 and working but it's a job and not a career with a future.
This summarized everything I've been thinking over over the past week. I've recently started studying for my CompTIA security+ and it's all starting to make sense
Glad to hear it! One of the most difficult parts is the conceptual "hump" in seeing the bigger picture and knowing the WHY.
Keep it up!
did you start on the A+? or head in into the security+?
@@hollowm.8416 I got my feet in the door with the Google It support professional certificate and 1 year of IT experience. Was gonna do the A+ cert but decided to study for the Security+ as I only need to pay for 1 exam as opposed to 2 exams for A+. I would recommend doing what you feel is best for you, and research.
@@alldetected3106 so is Google cyber security worth it ???
Men you have kill it from 0:24 to 0:44 - I just bump into this video and this is time that made me subscribe to your channel. Keep the good work
You deserve the best.
I couldnât agree more with everything you stated in this video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all and keep up the great work đ
Thank you! Will do!
That was a pretty brilliant video, succinct and informative. From the point of view of a newby in IT, your work certainly gave me a fair bit to think about. Thank you and keep them coming!
Wow you articulated each topic well! Hope to see more detailed tutorials/how-tos in all of topics you brought up
G Tomas thanks! Stay tuned!
I've worked in the IT field for over 20 years. The advice given here is logical, knowing these 5 things will help surely. I say, be a sysadmin for a few years in a busy shop. You'll do all these things there.
Sysadmins are one of the most underrated roles in this field.
An expert sysadmin is worth a dozen "penetration testers".
This is fantastic.
I'm a practical person who understands computers in general and has endless patience, but I cannot sit through instructional videos that are full of fluff or aren't direct enough.
Much appreciated m8
mal morbidus glad you liked it! Nobody has time for the videos out there that are super long and donât actually provide any info.
@@Cyberspatial practical application is huge! Your examples were spot on and you didn't have to take 20 mins to describe cybersecurity as a whole, 10/10 lol
Thank you so much for making this video Iâve been looking for the skills about cyber security so that Iâll be ready for my class.
Glad it helps!
One of the best cyber security videos on CZcams super duper phenomenal awesome superb explanation
Clear and concise. Simply awesomeâ€ïžâ€ïž
I just started learning cyber security and I'm glad i found this video. Thank you so much!
Hope it helps you get started on your journey!
We need to know coding to study cyber security?
pavithra Senthil Starting off, no you don't. You can be really good operating tools and knowing when to use them.
But if you want to build and customize tools, coding takes you to the next level.
Mayu Okamoto you can start learning these skills on our CZcams channel! We have playlists for learning the command line, securing yourself online, and even a video for how to make and use a VM!
what language can i learn before starting learning cyber securityïŒ
any suggestionïŒ
*I gave my like , the moment i saw*
_folding laptop stand & bluetooth keyboard_ _!_
_It sure gave the impression, this man is about to get serious_ đđŻ
Haha thank you!
this was a great short down and dirty video. i think basic digital hygiene is the most important. its like a preventative measure for inevitable hacks
Thank you so much. Very organized video đ
What a great video and you have a flawless voice tone! Awesome. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! Stay tuned, will be coming out with more!
Now I've the motivation to start this quarantine. Thank you for the informative video.
Go for it! There's a lot to work on.
Man, you are great at presenting. Amazed by your video - you just got a new fan! SUBSCRIBED!
You summarized and explained it very well. Thanks
I just know that i want to be like Elliot in Mr Robot hahaha. Thanks so much for this value content. Now, i know where should i to start. Greetings from Mexico!
Except for the drugs and depression of course! Those Mr. Robot hacks are look far too easy to pull off in such short amounts of time!
wow your communication skills are amazing, kudos, to the point and very infomative. Wish my instructors would be the same. This channel rocks!
Appreciate it. Share our videos to your instructors, they might find it helpful to use for class material!
Thanks for presenting this information in a short simplified manner. Universities, some, don't simplify this material!
This is great thank! Iâm a graduating CS major and trying See how I can get myself in cyber security field!
The list is pretty good.
Still I think it should include so much more.
more information in 8 minutes than any of my professor ever could have provided me
Changing careers from the Physical Security world to the IT security world, and after months of studying these books I have finally figured out where to start my new career path.
Awesome to hear, good luck on the path ahead!
This is very useful and straight to the point, thank you.
Thanks for the excellent information! I am starting my cyber security career, and the information you mentioned helps me a lot.
Ramon R awesome! Glad we could help!
How's it going? I'm looking for a career change.
I just realized the purpose of my assignments. Thank you!â€
Awesome!
thank you for this, the "just start doing it" approach is what i needed to hear
You're so welcome!
Iâm studying for the CompTia security plus so every bit of new information I can learn is great.
For sure, thanks for watching!
This was a fantastic video and I think you really nailed it. As a Cybersecurity professional I strongly recommend this video to anyone looking to break into the field. â€đ
do you have an advice for someone for a project? because now every job requires project. Thanks!
Very good and clear explanation. I am about to begin a program that could lead to a possible career in cyber security, and this video reinforced what I already knew I have to look forward to. Good work.
Same, good luck.
So? How is it going so far?
your presentation and speaking was so clear and easy to understand! love this!
This is certainly helpful for a beginner like me. I have saved this particular video as I find it very encouraging as I venture into IT related field.
2:18 Death Note playlist vibes !! Lol đ„
đ Love the guitar rift!
Wooooow i have been looking forward to this man....thanks a lot. Could you maybe cover IT careers that can suit almost everywhere đŹ.
Thanks! Will look into it :)
I'm thoroughly enjoying the terms to a lot of these systems to use in Cybersecurity. I all to excited to get started in my new career....
I love your videos, really put together and clear to understand. Thanks!
Michael Ferrick thanks!
i am so glad that now i found a way to study cyber security apart from all other unnecessary videos regarding this topic . I am gonna start with you. Thanks Cyberspatial
Awesome! Glad we could help!
"I don't have any certs, but my I helped my mom with her computer when I was little." in a job interview. Great advice.
Very informative, thank you for sharing!đ I've learned a lot
What an extremely pleasant presentation of the subjects. Subscribed immediately!
This guy killed it in his public speaking class
đ
Wow ...i love how well and easy you explain these things ... Subscribed for sure man thank you! â€ïž
Thanks for the sub!
Excellent video. Clearly explained all the basics to get started on soft soft. Thanks
TCP/IP started getting standarised by department of defense and othe University volenteer after OSI model,so TCP/IP is newer than OSI model.
Agreed! And TCP/IP is not compared to the OSI model - TCP/IP fits into the OSI model like every other protocol. TCP is Session layer in OSI model and IP is transport.
This is such an amazing, informative and motivating video! Definitely subscribing.
Ashley Njeri glad you liked it and thanks for the support!
Hey Ashley,are you already in the industry?,if so,I'd like to ask questions about the info sec. situation in our country
Wow thanks so much! I just found your channel and i'm amaze with your content!! So much valuable lessons. Thank you so much!
This was extremely useful!!! This is the perfect blue print I plan on implementing. Thank you!
You have given the best advice for anyone starting in Cyber Security. Certs are good but experience can't beat. Looking forward to see more videos. Also subscribed :)
Thanks a lot!
Be sure to have a dev env. Spin up a trial azure of aws subscription that you can use while you learn using free credits
@@cheftank I have setup AWS account and doing hands on at the moment and planning for Cert soon too. I am planning to make home lab in AWS.
@@vbarval excellent but also be sure to get hands on outside an hosted environment. For ie; physical switch configuration, physcial host build/design etc... get a free O365 E5 subscription & use visio to visulize env designs. Not only will make it easiler for you to deploy solutions using stencils but will also help in high level/low level documentation
@@cheftank Sounds good! I will do that. Thank you so much for suggestions :)
This is a great video. I already had put together 3/5ths of this list so im a bit late, but its super handy to have a basic run down of useful things to invest energy into, because the world of cyber security is insanely daunting considering the last time I was "into" computers was back when I was playing LoL every day, 10 years ago. đ
My hurdle is that I know very little of networking and sysadmin. I don't know where to start within those fields. I'm still trying to learn the basic terminology, but at the same time I've got relatively good mental maps of what's going on in a network, and how data is being transferred. So my knowledge is patchy and I know weird advanced things while not knowing some fundamental stuff. :/
Totally feel you. Going back to basics is the real measure of mastery.
For sysadmin and networking it can get a couple old routers, switches, and old PC's and build out a home network.
Setup some services that you can access via VPN or an SSH tunnel when you're away from home.
Wow, I love everything about this video, graphics, videos, illustrations, can't wait for your lessons đđ
Thank you!
Thank you learning as I go.
Honestly, I don't know why but this person makes feeling to do something interesting inside PC.

I totally agree w/ you, however the educating part helps w/ learning HOW to use the different software, what to implement, & how & what codes to use...
Thank you brother. Excellent video.
I am curious to know what your take is as far as the future job outlook of System & Network Administration. There seems to be an ongoing theme about the inevitable decline of these two specific fields. I'd imagine things will always be changing, but I wonder if these jobs will eventually become obsolete?
It's likely going to be outsourced to lesser developed countries over time. Especially with tech and automation that removes the amount manual work an actual person needs to do. Coding and creation are going to be more future-proof.
Underrated. That's the only thing that i can say.
What matters is support from guys like you :)
Thank you, Sir. I love the way you speak
Fantastic video, brakes down important point into easy to understand packets. Definitely subscribing!
âI became the family IT help desk â
I see we share the same title but you know way more than me đ
đ I started from knowing very little too!
Me too but just with basic thingsđ
And an important note to mention is that if one wants to get into Cybersecurity sales, the skillset/requirements are totally different, and none of those 5 points are relevant, other than truly understanding the role of the cloud, and for sales, the only element that's important is ensuring the apps are safe in the cloud. It's important to bear in mind there are myriad branches on the Cybersecurity tree, and one must decide which branch appeals to them, before they take that path.....be careful....a lot of hype is out there and lots of misinformation, mainly being driven by people who just want to make a lot of money fast, whether it's instructors, or potential employees.....please invest your time wisely, and conduct a lot of due diligence, and vet everything, before you spend a lot of money.
I like how simple you made it, very understandable. Thank you
Appreciate it :)
Kudos,
You are like a Pro at its best in explaining and communicating,
With over 20 years CS and 35+ in the IT field, this is one of the best videos out that I have seen giving a broad but clear scope of Cyber Security.
And I agree. Itâs your skills and experience thatâs important. Iâm self taught and still learning each day. Mentoring MS and HS students to entice them into the CS field is my passion (any STEM field, but focus is CS)
Will make sure I share and great video for beginners and good refresher đđ
Skill you need: read book, watch def con and conference, attend conference, learn code. If you are young, compete in ctf, it is the leet code of cyber security industry.
Everything is on the table when it comes to learning cyber security!
This is a gem of a video đ. Thank you for the information.
Man you are amazing, i dont remember last time i commented on any video. It is very helpful advice. Thank you so much.
Very informative and motivating video, thank you so much. I have been a software and web developer for more than 4 years, will this increase my chances to jump into Pen test or Soc analysis? Which security role or career path should I follow? Thank you again!!!
With a developer background, you can add tremendous value to a SOC or pen testing team making simple web apps or to help them with security automation or tooling.
It's definitely a great transition if you're coming from a technical background.
