5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Cyber Security

- I really wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self these 5 things I wish I knew before starting cyber security. I obviously can’t go back in time so I guess this video is the next best thing. I have learned a lot over the years in cyber security, not only about cyber security topics but also, I have improved how I learn, approach problems, and how I manage time.
I really enjoyed putting this video together. Give me a like if you enjoyed it and let me know in the comments!
0:27 - 1 - You can't learn everything there is to know
2:50 - 2 - There is no one course that will teach you everything; Be persistent
5:32 - 3 - Avoid jumping between topics, focus on actually learning one thing at a time
7:26 - 4 - Just Google it, don't get stuck on problems and waste time.
11:41 - 5 - Get started now. Don't wait for a future date to start learning.
I have no idea if you are truly a child of God or not, maybe you are just confused or misread something, but I encourage you to read again numbers 5: 11-31 again, pray about it, and maybe even do some further research on it, and I am sure it will become more clear to you.
@Repentance: The Missing Link Of True Salvation lol braindead sheep 🐑🐑🐑
Well done.
Thank you for clarification on THE most important issue of all time.
This is one of the best videos about industry tips I've watched in a while, great job!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m in the process of changing careers and your videos are clear. , honest and transparent.
Great video! Can definitely relate to a lot of the things you said. Persistence is definitely key; always keep learning, practicing, and researching. my best successes in infosec came from being informed about the subject and having incident context, experience and practice in executing tools and procedures, and researching and filling any knowledge gaps as they come along.
And you're so right about Google or any other osint; it's great to see what other people say about a topic or issue, but it should always be looked at critically. Some answers are bad, some outdated, and some non-existent.
Definitely reach out to colleagues and peers you respect and trust when things don't make sense after doing your own initial research, sometimes it can save you a world of pain and frustration.
Thank you for covering everything you spoke on my feelings about this and it definitely help me feel Normal about my emotions and overwhelming the excitement to learning something new. We appreciate you for these youtube clips.🤞
Thank you so much for this great video. It feels like you just read my mind and clear all doubts and misconception.
Thanks for all of your videos. I wish you still made videos. I just passed security plus and the day after, I discovered your channel. I really wish I’d found your content before the test. Thanks for the great content.
Thank you very much bro!! Helped me a lot to boost my motivation back!
as someone just starting out, this helped a lot. Thanks! looking to get my Security+ by the end of the year :)
This really helped. It's nice to heard the downsides of getting into the field with tips of how to get around them.
Thanks bro. Im new to cyber and your video really helps! I appreciate the advice!
Thanks for your video, I am currently going through these exact same experiences and your advice really helped. They might seem obvious things to do but unless you've been there, you don't really understand how real these problems actually are.
Great content Colin, thank you!
Great advise. This also applies for most fields in IT, in which there are sooo many branches as you might already know.
Absolutely, very good point!
Appreciate the video and mentioning getting burn out with studying. I'm studying for the ccna and my exam is this month. I had to give myself a break often. Hoping to get into networking or cybersecurity regardless if I don't pass the exam. I have my net+
Great video, I'm taking classes to get into cyber security but I definitely enjoy getting outside to play disc golf
Needed this thank you 🙌🏾
thanks for this really perfect content that you made me motived and refreshed my mindset.
These were the words I needed today. Thanks!
Very informative and "to the point". Thanks Colin
I do agree that persistence is the key! I will start my Master dgree in cybersecurity but I will do one by one!
Thank you for making this video. Lesson 5 just start now.
Brilliant content as always. Keep it up
Thank-you so much Collin for such great insight
Thanks Vishal, I'm glad you found it informative!
Starting a cyber security course soon, and I'm so nervous. This video helped me relax a bit 😅
Thanks a lot man, you deserve a million subs!!
This man deserves more subs. Keep up the good work!
You just helped a brazilian student to not give up cyber security. I was so stressed because I'm not getting the results that I was expecting and your video helped me to keep going.
Awesome! This is why I make these videos. Keep in there, it will all pay off in the future
Muito bom, eh isso ai. Tbm to no mesmo barco. Boa sorte.
@@FaLkraydz @razaki Boa sorte guerreiros, os brasileiros estão em todos os lugares kkkkkkk. Vocês estão fazendo faculdade ou estudando por conta própria???
@@lucasfreire4401 meu caso eu moro no estado de Washington e faço faculdade on-line numa faculdade de Idaho chamada BYU Idaho. E vc?
Edit: tbm estudo por conta própria. Kkkk
E pra ficar mais doido ainda, trabalho no estado de Oregon. Dirigir na neve todo dia tá sendo uma experiência diferente. Hahaah
@@FaLkraydz Que foda kkkkkk, deve ser uma baita experiência msm , tenho 17 anos ainda irmão, porém já estou correndo atrás logo cedo. No momento estou pensando em entrar em uma facul própria de cybersecurity na PUC ou entrar em engenharia de software e fazer uma pós em cibersegurança, mas estou meio em duvida ainda kkkkkk.
Indeed, this was of great quality; thanks
Good tips. My biggest issue so far is getting my first job!!
This was a great video this something we all need to hear
True dude. Love the content.
You are smart!
Thanks
Hello, thank you very much for the very good videos. I have a question. I'm in my mid-20s now and I would like to get into the cyber security industry. Until now I have worked as an electrical engineer in the mechanical engineering sector. I would like to take a distance learning course. Cyber security and IT have always interested me. What would your tips be to me and what do you think of my plan. Thank you and keep it up :)
Really great content!!!!
Hit close to home with losing motivation and study burnout. Glad this popped up in my algo
Super helpful video as usual! Can you make a video about cloud security; what would be the roadmap to get into cloud security. Thanks!
Absolutely, that is a great idea. I had an interesting in doing some cloud videos but didn't know if there would be much interest!
year old video, but this is how I feel right now. lots to learn and planning to join the air force for cyber security with some prior knowledge. after contract is up, I can use uncle sam and my experience to land a job. maybe during my enlistment, I will get some certs as well.
I can relate to 3 very much.
Great advice. I'm completely new to cybersecurity. Thanks for these valuable tips. Please increase the levels on your voice; it's too low. I still could barely hear you even with my volume turned up all the way. Then commercials come and it's insanely loud.
SO useful!! Thank you! Like
I always feeling like I need to rush myself to get everything I possibly can. I noticed to take it slow and learn more deeply about them, like I understand python quite well but than I try to rush to learn about bash,C# and other languages. I really appreciate your advice( going to start CS with a focus on cybersecurity next year).
Nice! Also props on learning c#, you will find it will be very very handy in the field :) . I learned it last year and moved 99% away from powershell. Its so nice to be able to run .NET assemblies in memory!
bro i am watching this after a year, i realizing this is super awesome video i ever watched cyber security video
Thank you for this video 🙏
Thank you
So glad I found this video
i love u bro u help me alot 😍
Hey colin. Some tips for future vids could be about how to become a Cybersecurity consultant.
Awesome, thanks for the idea!
I’ve finished my bachelors of technology in Computers Science, and I’m aware of just basic programming languages like Python, JAVA at the moment. I’ve been meaning to get into the field of cybersec, what would you suggest?
I'm going back to school in the coming year as I'm supporting my partner through university and helping her pay bills and etc. Do you know of anything I could do to get a head start on a path into cyber security? It'd be nice to do my own research and self learn a little bit before going into school. I did that with my last career.
Thanks brother
I've been doing this for over 20 years, the more I learn, the dumber I feel...
Where should someone start?
Thank you. I feel the same way.
Very helpful
Do i need to know how to use tools such as Splunk before getting my first or second job as a analyst? Or do they train you on the job...
Thanks, been stressing on my net+. Trying to pivot to cyber security after years of gliding off being a IBM kid and just being there before everyone else. But now for once I'm pushing, really trying to cert and educate and it's been a reality check. Was feeling burned out and worried if I am choosing wrong. But after a few days break I'm feeling better and this video, plus your sec+ video really helped me feel normal for everything I'm going through. I want net+sec+ and to learn python, but I guess I only have so much bandwidth and have to balance all this. Wish we could just download info like the matrix.... oh well have to wait for Elon to finish neuralink I guess lol. Anyway, thanks for the vids, they help.
You are on the right track, just do what you need to do to manage your motivation over the long run and you will do great. I'm currently working on a massive Security+ guide that encompasses everything I know about the exam on my blog. Stay tuned because this one will be big!! Really excited to finish it up
Right
So oone thing i can say about sec plus is look for a book on tape and listen to it while you drive, as far as python, im learning it, the only way to learn is to write something. its going to suck and it wont be easy to wrap your head around things untill you do it. learn basic and then jsut write a program. I learned the basics and then did rock paper scissors first without functions and the second version with functions. I learned more doing it on my own then any book or video i read or watched.
Thanks for the tips, definitely gonna keep them in mind. I usually try to rush everything and end up super-burned, so I really needed someone to tell me what you said in the first point.
Also, you look like a very nice guy. Liked that Buzzfeed joke at the begging ;)
Haha. Glad you like it. I'm starting to find my groove and feel more comfortable in front of the camera.
@@ContractHacker Glad to hear that. Bug youtubers make it seem easy, but when you are starting it is normal not to feel 100% comfortable in front of the camera.
Excellent
WHat podcasts do you enjoy for learning IT and sec? I love Darknet Diaries
When you say you’ve been in the field “a long time”, how long is that? Please take this as a compliment, you look young. I’m 27 & am about to finish my degree in Cyber Security this year. I feel like I’m late, but I didn’t find the field until a couple years ago 😢
Great one therefore subscribed
i'm an aspiring Cyber Security where should i start first as a foundation?
I’m brand in the field as student any tips Sir ?
You have really beautiful eyes 🤩
I got lost in them while seeing the video.
Hey man. I’m doing L2 desktop support right now and I have A+ and Network+ probably next month I’ll get my Security+. Any tips to get into CyberSecurity or info sec or what’s the next step for me. Thank you. Great video btw.
Hey John, your totally on the right track. Keep it up and go for that security+ next!
Colin Kelly thank you! 🙏🏼
Colin Kelly do you need a good programming skills?
@@bluetech7128 You'll probably need python or SQL from what i've heard
I like that concept of not being afraid to Google. Very interesting.
Google all the time.
As a moments, I'm learning Comptia a+ and soon after the test, I'll be learning Network+, Security+, and CySA+ then later get a job with a help of I.T Senior career Consultant. Still will be 18 hopefully. This Video has gotten me thinking a lot about it. Thanks
gl
Best video
the last one really hit me
nice!
I like your video. I felt that it was important informative information. Next time you record record your audio at a higher level.
Good video
Man it looks like you're 20 years old; when you say things like you've been in the industry for a long time makes me feel behind cause I'm 32 and I just got started with my A+ cert book hahaha.
This is where I'm starting from btw. Anyway, in the end your content gave me a lot of hope to keep going. Thanks, bro.
Hey Igor, super happy I was able to help. It is never too late to get into the industry! Keep it up, all experience is good experience. You may be new to cyber security, but im sure you have some awesome skillsets to draw from!! Let me know how the A+ goes!!
@@ContractHacker Thanks for the support... Yeah I've been studying at any free time I have even at work. I bought the Mike Meyers A+ book and his A+ Udemy courses. After I get the A+ cert, I'll start the preparation for Network+ and so on until I get in the security field. I'm also always watching videos about security and hacking just for curiosity. :)
Don’t worry about your age. Finished my degree in my late 30’s, did an internship, got my Security+ cert and landed an amazing job as an IT Security Analyst for Starz Entertainment. I’m one of just two security pros. Taking on half of everything and I don’t even come from a tech background. Best choice Ive ever made.
can we have a job of cyber security while still learning it .....do you have a job ?
Great content. Too many commercials. Keep up the great work.
@colin Kelly: are there any good cheap online resources from where I could learn some cybersecurity in well designed way like cheap bootcamps?
I really like pluralsight, but if your willing to spend the time all the information is out there for free!
@@ContractHacker thank you man. I will check pluralsight. I am looking to learn as much as I can before starting grad degree in cybersecurity
thank u :)
What degree for cyber security
Goat
ccna or net+?
where is your sound? I cant hear you
😅 your eye blinked only 4 times throughout the video..
We've found BOFH's PFY!
How hard is it to learn cyber?
Did you ever figure this out
How much knowledge of Mathematics is required to pursue the field of Cyber Security?? Please help.....
Brother you need to start podcasts!
I JUST FINISHED INTRODUCTION TO CYBER SECURITY WITH CISCO ACADEMY.
I WANT TO VOLUNTEE TO WORK IN A COMPANY FOR FREE . CAN I GET ANY AVAILABLE COMPANY TO APPLY?
Hi Angela, Congratulations on finishing your course. The best place to start is to look for internships. Internships will be geared towards getting you the most experience possible and most cyber security internships are paid!
@@ContractHacker thanks, how will i get internships?
i should watch it 6 months ago 😔
Not a Cyber Security comment! I just want you to know that using soap bars to wash off the extra sebum of your face and skin could help prevent you from getting acnes and and pimples. A cheap product I used on myself.
I’m 40 is it to late to start learning cyber security?
I'm 45 and learning it.
Shouldn’t be too late. Remember, technology grows and change fast so whatever an individual has learned for the last 5 years may not be applicable nowadays.
Its about adapting and learning fast. Also keep in mind the jobs you have to find, I guess.
Low volume
Lol I'm over here trying to learn a little bit of everything and I often wonder to myself what went so wrong in my life that I decided to torture myself like this like I could have been the next Gordon ramsay but nooooo I had to think cybersecurity was super awesome and cool (which it Is once you already know how to do stuff) lol 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I’ve been doing Cyber security for some years well it’s an interesting area and I’m generally talking about blue teaming..... yeah I think it’s time for me to leave the whole IT gig it’s boring too many idiots in the profession and I wouldn’t even call it a profession to be honest but for use young people stick with it you may have a much better experience than I ever did not saying it was bad just saying I got bored and burned out and it’s not as sexy as it’s made out to be either just bear that in mind. Jas I come from Computer science and cyber security background academically speaking as well as practically speaking.
But I would recommend people in all honesty to find a proper profession to work in because the reality there’s just too many people with different skill sets different backgrounds trying to get what you’re trying to get and you don’t necessarily need a bachelors degree people that is a misnomer it’s more of a HR filter that’s it. Anyway Best of luck to all of you that really want to get into it.
What would you consider a proper profession then? I realized i don't want to be a software developer as i'm just a cog in the wheel and considered maybe going into IT security because i atleast feel that maybe this type of work would give you some sort of accomplishment knowing your stopping these data breaches and hackers from taking people's hard earned money which makes me feel like i'm giving back to the people in a way.
@@Hugo-ey3wc Yea he has no answer.
What the hell? Who has disliked the video?
Thanks this really made me happy when I saw it! Idk who is disliking it but haters gonna hate. Thanks for the support!
Just got scammed and robbed. I'm motivated
Could have been a 30 sec video.
A cliche at 1:57
Ill give you the best lesson in life. Don't get married.
You are smart!
Thanks
