Did you end up getting into the program and if so how was it ?
I truly enjoyed auditing when I was working at a nonprofit and I found several files and errors and I did an audit for a school before too!!! Ohhh snap while doing my bachelors degree I learned compliance in social sciences arena!! I’m so glad I found this, hopefully those three examples if sold right could get me in the door.
New favorite channel on YT
Great detail and explanation. I’m definitely looking into this while I finish my degree.
Awesome! Can't wait to work with you and watch you succeed!
Thank you for this information. Definitely looking into this while I'm in the military.
Awesome! We look forward to working with you.
Great info ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Been looking for this
Man u have opened my mind to sooooo much into. I can't wait to tell my success story 😆
Thank you for this 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to get a foot in the door for something more than just Tech Support for a big tech company for a while now. I’ve always had that nagging feeling that there’s gotta be something better than this. Thanks to you, my search is more definitive. Keep up the great work! As an entrepreneur, I’m wondering if there is a way to scale this up to help more than one company at a time as a w2 employee. Not more than 3, for obvious reasons.
Looking into this now ! Thx
Thank you so much Boyd! I knew a little about GRC from my FB IT groups, but I didn't do a full dive.. I had gotten A+, Sec+, and a degree in the past, but it has seemed to be hard to even get a help desk position for whatever reason these days, even with good interviews. I wholeheartedly appreciate this though! I have some auditing experience at a warehouse for packages in terms of making sure they were cross-referenced correctly, so perhaps I can use that in the future in addition to some training I can find. Thank you for all you do! Praying nothing but the best for your success and your students success as well!
Same here.
I have reviewed the requirements for several positions on linkedin and dice and they are requiring a certain level of experience that I do not have. This has been my issue with my careers in the past. For me to join the cyber security world and complete these trainings and still come up needing the experience would disappointing in which I am sure people can relate. There are no guarantees with anything however it would be nice on elaborating more on how to overcome this. In this scenario certifications does not guarantee an offer as well. I have degrees and I still struggle.
Love the videos, and I'm looking to switch into this career. Unfortunately, I have no previous experience or degree. Every job I search for though requires a bachelor degree or many years of experience. Maybe I'm just unlucky in the area I live in, but even when I search remote only jobs I see similar things.
So my question is, do I just ignore that qualification and just apply when I'm ready? Because I feel like I'll just be denied without having that degree.
This is such great content, I’m new to the IT field and looking into Cybersecurity roles that are not too technical. Do you have any other online recommendations for free certifications courses?
Hello Boyd, I have been a fan and have been watching your channel ever since. I am writing from Africa. I do have more than 7 certifications on IT including cybersecurity but the issue here is that is hard getting jobs here but I am looking for advice or tip to get a job in cybersecurity abroad, outside Africa. I'll really love to hear from you, thanks a bunch.
Every single job that I found on this wants years of experience and certifications.
@boyd do you recommended doing the ISSCA course if we’re already doing your program ?
Facts - my company paid for all of my certifications as well!
Trying to get my foot in the door. Will they hire a person with little to no cyber security skills?
@@madebydade305ify Joseph - I bet you have some skills that can be applied right away in cyber. Happy to chat with you about this!
@@securityeverafter I have some questions for you also
@@Verz52 How can I help?
@@securityeverafter You mentioned skills that could transfer over to cyber. Could we talk about what those might be in your opinion?
Man, I can't wait to get started in PCI DSS training and GRC. I am forced to finish up CEH and Splunk or I gave to pay a boat load back to the VA. Give me 2 months and I will be free
Would the qualys cpi cert help with becoming a compliance analyst or security analyst?
I have a question as an IT Auditor. Is it solely you or would you work as a team. I like IT jobs where I’m not the only person in the company with my job title I like to back ideas or thoughts another person with my same title
❤❤
didnt say which program in the isaca site the would help
Spirit fingers ✨️ lol what im learning is the hack is to avoid hacking
Exactly!
Hi I am a newbie to all of this and have just started my ISC2 beginner coursse. I would really appreciate if you advise me what route should I be taking if I want to target roles in infromation security audit or compliance. I am in third world country, and usd exchange rate is horrible here, so I am always looking for cheap and/or free courses.
I seem to continue to hit a wall. I have A+N+SEC+CYSA+Pentest+CASP and ITILv4 all these certs not to mention a Top Secret/SCI clearance. I am trying to get into Cybersecurity, but all my experience is in Military system admin. I can get an interview but when they ask me strict cybersecurity questions, I cannot answer them correctly aka I have not done that in my experience. I am also over the $90K pay scale and I would have to drop over $20K just to get into the security field. Am I missing something any suggestions on how I can make the switch and not take such a massive pay cut?
I'm really tempted by ur videos bro, I work for a while known, I came across something like this before online but, u make it really possible and understandable, I'm really interested but how can I star here from far away and third wold country from Africa
We have some options. Reach out on Facebook and Instagram!
Ya I didn't know GRC before
so I can get these “roles” without a degree or certification’s?
Did you do all 14 of the certifications on Qualys for PCI - DSS?
Hi which positions can be done remotely?
So, let s apply the get the training not the cert idea to a experiment of mine. Let s say that some bright eye high school grad decided to become a paramedic. But rather take the conventional route, he decided to get the paramedic training but doesn't get certified and decided to start applying for every paramedic job he could find. Now another candidate has a few years of being an emt and decided to become a paramedic and does things conventionally. Do you hire the recent high school grad whom knows the training but can't back it up or the emt with years under his/hers belt?
Question; in a previous video you stated you make videos for people who trying to level up their skills in the field and not for people who trying to get an entry level position. But in ALL of your videos you also stated these are ways we can get in without a college degree, no certs and no skills. Wouldn’t that look like an entry level?
What was the Isaca trading to get you didn't say what was it called
Aaaa Professor Boyd
Yo!
Would cyber security be a good work life balance career? I'm looking to get back to work. I've been a housewife for 2 years. Before then I was doing sales and marketing in Healthcare. I'm looking for a remote job that will have a good work and life balance. Do you have any suggestions for jobs that are good for moms?
Hi, did u find the answer to this?
@D_Vice Thank you so much for this. I did end up getting a tech sales job, 100% remote. I've been able to do laundry in between my calls lol. It's been almost 2 months now and I am finding good balance. I'm going to work my way towards management.
@Creating Legacy nope. I interviewed and got the job without a bootcamp. I have 6 yrs of sales experience.
Great content. Are there any roles that require a few hours of work per day with minimal meetings maybe just one per month which would give you an opportunity to stack your roles and work remotely? Does anyone know of any stacking opportunities?
Hey Shelby! Reach out on Facebook or Instagram for more info!
How to get into the GRC 😢. I’m really interested to be in this industry but I got no experience and no degree. I’m open for any advices. Thankyou
And plus no any kind of certifications 😢
Reach out on Facebook or Instagram for more info!
where we you all along men🤭
Interesting, but this niche sounds like it could easily get automated in less than half a decade
That's interesting. But why is this field still growing? I'm genuinely curious
From Rwanda in Africa can I join you?
We have options for people outside of the U.S.
@@BoydClewis yes we need it us African.
If I had $15k I'd consider this.
@@sJ-ls8pw I wish you the best. We teach way more than PCI DSS. You can find a cheap program and get cheap results.
@@sJ-ls8pw I'm still considering it. It's not your normal path doing this training.
@@BTphosheezy what we do is next level.
@@BoydClewis if you could give me a buzz I've got some feedback I'd like to give about my call I had with your guy.
Is that the total cost of the program ?
