I’m so so glad you made this video because I felt like all of Cybersecurity aspects and roles I see talked about are all technical. And I want to get into cybersecurity and felt this need to get into just technical roles. Thank you for talking about this! It was nice and reassuring for someone like me who wants to get into cybersecurity but not necessarily the technical aspect of it, that no one talks about.
Im so glad this was helpful Vivian! ☺️ and trust me, there are so so many roles in cyber security that aren’t technical at all, my previous company had a huge cybersecurity team (~3000 ppl) and id say about half were non technical, but every role plays an important part regardless. Good luck looking for your perfect role! 😁
@@mxbx307 yeah, I admire people who can handle it. Because at one point, I questioned going into this field really because of how hard the technical stuff was. Until realizing there is a non-technical aspect.
Thank you for making these videos. There's dozens of people making cybersecurity career videos on youtube, but it's clear that you're someone who's actually worked in the field and is familiar with these concepts. We need more smart people like you giving advice!
Very informative. I’ve subscribed to your channel about a year now but for some reason, I’ve never been able to watch any of your videos to the end. I get worn out halfway through, not sure why.
Yes!! As someone who works hands on with vulns at work, sometimes you’re the one validating they exist, testing for remediation, work w other teams and closing out, etc. But it also gives you the operational experience of using vuln scanners and other tools your company has to track and remediate vulns, it’s a pretty cool area to work in imo. You can get as technical (hands on testing/remediation) or as non-technical (just opening a ticket to another team for them to remediate) as your company’s procedures allow. Hope this helps Michael! 😁
@@WithSandra Do you analyze software? I am interested in this topic but don't know what the actual/concrete activities are. Or are you just throwing vuln detection tools at software, that are provided to you by your company? If so, then this is not really a technical/engineering activity but pretty much what you call script kiddie behaviour.
So basically, you are trying to "sell" Sales/Governance/Risk Assessment etc. as "Cybersecurity Jobs" just because your firm is a Cybersecurity Company? This sounds to me like someone wants to hop on to the Hype Train surrounding the topic/term of "Cybersecurity". Let's say, I am a data analyst, which is an awesome profession itself. I analyze data for a cybersecurity company. That does NOT mean, I have a Cybersecurity Job. Because, regardless of the topic, I am still a data analyst and I am not a CySec specialist, who ACTUALLY produces/evaluates security of systems and software/hardware. STOP mixing things together, that do not belong together. The worst joke is to say that in Sales you have a Cybersecurity Job. That's disrespectful of the things, that an actual Cybersecurity Specialist has to learn. It would also go the other way. Just because I am producing AV software which has a nice design, that does not mean, I am indirectly involved in "Sales", which requires a completely different skill set. The only part of Cybersecurity Activity, which is not technical is Social Engineering as part of (Physical) Penetration Testing. Once again: Stop mixing things together, that inherently involve completely different activities! Even if you view "Cybersecurity" as an industry, your job still remains "Sales" if you are a sales-person and NOT Cybersecurity! If you say "I work in Cybersecurity Industry", that is totally fine but "CySec Job" implies so many technical things and people get the wrong impression. It is astonishing, how people, who studied business administration originally, try to "label-frame" their jobs just to produce themselves and be on that Hype Train. "Fake it till you make it." seemingly goes a long way. It is especially bad with the Male Population with such&similar degrees. Sad.
Hi there Sandra thanks for the video made me have interest in cyber security and I am currently first year at Warwick studying the degree can you lmk what would you do after degree I’m thinking of doing masters in cyber security management but is there any jobs that matches this has great pay that increases as much experience you get in the role great work life balance flexibility and potential for remote work but no need but actually a nice interesting job that you think I’ll like and btw I live in Manchester and also that is non technical aswell btw I am not a huge fan of coding that’s why I chose to do a degree in cyber security instead of software engineering???
Hey I'm starting starting an associate degree in the fall for cyber security will I be able to get a job when done alot of places I looked will say you can have associates but also require experience
The sad part about all these fancy tech job titles is that the motif is still about “who you know” not “what you know.” Oooh & please speak a tad slower

The technical stuff is too hard and the people are _really_ weird and abrasive even by tech standards. It's not nice.
@@WithSandra thank you so much! Looking forward to possibly hearing more about this topic if you decide to cover them more 😊
@@mxbx307 yeah, I admire people who can handle it. Because at one point, I questioned going into this field really because of how hard the technical stuff was. Until realizing there is a non-technical aspect.
@@ViviansLog m also looking for non tech. role.. we can discuss for it for sure !

I'd rather configure an entire enterprise network, then pen test each box and make a report for each one than go into policy writing.
Can you make a video on the tools used by security analyst, compliance analyst etc, and how they work?
For sure! Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll be adding this to my list of upcoming videos to film 😁
@@WithSandra thank you so much
Hey Sandra is Vulnerability Management a good role if you want to stay on the technical side of cyber security?
Yes!! As someone who works hands on with vulns at work, sometimes you’re the one validating they exist, testing for remediation, work w other teams and closing out, etc. But it also gives you the operational experience of using vuln scanners and other tools your company has to track and remediate vulns, it’s a pretty cool area to work in imo.

I didn't finish the whole video, but if you go for the most money, it's sales.
Can you make a video on ISSO (information systems security officer) vs cyber security analyst please?
Sure thing! I dont think ive made a video on ISSOs before so that’s a great topic, thanksfor the suggestion 😁
@@WithSandra In addition to the ISSO add in ISSM.
Where would find information security awareness specialist jobs? I did a search but didn’t really find any
Wonderful video Sandra !
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful ☺️
