@@BoydClewis Hello, I want to Ask You to make Videos on Interview Questions and how to Answer them. Also, make Videos on what to put on Resume if we are just breaking into Cybersecurity and don't have job experience on it.
Thanks again, I think I'm binge watching your videos like a movie. I never thought about tech until a few months ago, while listening to A.O. Podcast and more recently when I started talking to a friend of mine and she gave me the ISC2 training info. Thanks for another great video. I'm glad I found your channel.
I appreciate your time and your knowledge about Cyber Security, I am School right now,and they are not teaching us nothing in your video. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND TEAM.
OMG!!! I love your video. You are the blessing I’ve been waiting for. I was once in the Tech field and got out once the recession hit many many years ago. Now with watching your video you have definitely encouraged me back to where I wanna be. Thanks for your encouragement again this was a blessing waiting to happen for me!! I will be in contact & subscribed!!🙏💜
Lol I took my notes in my phone to purchase a class from you for my fiancé as A gift, and when I typed your site in my notepad - I put an x instead of a C. Once I clicked on the highlighted link it still went to your site. Very smart of you to think ahead and the possibilities of how many people could type an x instead of A c. Much love and gratitude for your videos. Good job
I'm currently in the Junior part of your course. Was having a tough time but since you have videos like this I've got a better understanding. Please keep making these videos. Appreciate it.
@@antwineadkins6659 , have you gone to the Live Sessions with me or spoken with the other mentors to get support? I can't have you out here watching TH-cam videos when you're inside the academy.
@@antwineadkins6659 there’s no need to stop I just want to make sure the team is taking care of you. If you didn’t make my session yesterday I’d definitely recommend watching the replay. You’ll learn a lot about identifying transferable skills and the exact formula for landing a tech role.
You dropped some more 🔥 lol I’m still trying to catch up I’m almost done with the cybersecurity cert from the last video you dropped.. then i have to finish Qualys guard and Splunked lol now this thanks alone got a lot to catch up on
I appreciate all of your wisdom and expertise that you so graciously share, you are a true inspiration and I look forward to entering this exciting field. Thank you!
I did something like that at my previous job as an IT auditor at a public accounting firm. I’m trying to get back into IT audit. I’m already in the CASP program in hopes that it will prepare for my next job in IT audit.
First timer here! Thank you for sharing this. Tried to sign up but got directed to a tech sales course. Not sure if the opportunity has expired but would love more info on when it will be available again. - Thanks!
Hey Boyd, great video and thanks for all your helpful info. I'm doing the Qualys PCI Compliance course now after doing the Vulnerability Management Foundation course you suggested in your previous videos. Would you recommend the Qualys course on PCI DSS Compliance as the knowledge and practical hands-on application of the standard that would be best to use in interviews and eventually get the job that leads to the sponsored ISA training?
You missed a finding in the audit. The maximum password age is 90 days. Its configured to 30 days.... Ive joined the BC Training Academy but just waiting for on-boarding. Looking forward to becoming an Information Security Auditor!!!
I absolutely love your content man. I haven't watched as much as i intended when i first subscribed but i will be applying to your program immediately and i hope you accept me! I'm a single father that has 2 degrees and have been desperately trying to find my way into the tech industry and it seems impossible! I need your help!!
I came across your channel and I have been on a mission. Reading is fundamental; so, I’ve been reading and becoming familiar with cyber security. Knowledge is power, and I will be looking this training as well. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
I recommend getting a basic level understanding of IT in general. The different components and common systems. That way you understand how things work, and if you know how things work, then you know how they don't work and that's essential for auditing. For security in general, it's important to know how all the systems work and how they come together. You don't have to be a master, but you also can't just walk in. Think about it. If you're doing security, that means you need to defend systems and networks etc. Therefore you need to know all the little things an attacker may want to do and prepare, monitor and respond to it. Which also means you need to know how those systems and networks etc work, because you need to know how they break and what their overall weaknesses are. Trust me, once you get even a basic understand of IT in general; everything else will start coming more easily to you because you will begin seeing how things connect. Edit: I noticed I didn't actually give you any advice. Look into the Network+, then Security+, then perhaps pick a cloud environment like Azure and get their Azure Fundamentals cert; then if you want to do something like the PCI auditor course that Boyd mentioned, do that.
Absolutely agree - understanding how things work just makes things that much easier. I guess you can apply that to everything in life. Knowledge is power! One thing i wish i did earlier in my career was simply reading more.
@@RespectfullyCurious sound like a plan and thank you. I understand that with the gathering of information builds knowledge and understanding. I appreciate you!
I LOVE your guidance, expertise, and knowledge. Thank you ENDLESSLY. The only part I am confused about through all these videos is this. Do you achieve all of this and get woth just one company as ISA, or you can do this for several companies throughout the year? Thanks a million! Have a blessed day
You’re welcome! The ISA certification is only good for an individual company and none transferable. You don’t need to get the certification to perform the job it’s just a nice bonus.
Good day Sir, my name is Lloyd and am almost done with my tertiary education and aspiring to enter the cybersecurity field. What i really want is a guide line to understand the business aspects of cybersecurity if i wish to establish my own consulting firm.
I am an internal auditor that deals with SOX day in and day out, year after year. Honestly, I am bored of it. I badly need a change. I think I just found it. Hopefully, I can do this. I am determined and motivated, and if I follow this guidance, and I work hard, I should be able to achieve the change I desperately need. With that said, this will be a huge challenge. I have lost confidence because of years of stagnation. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated!
Imagine doing this for Square Space. Legit you’ve got millions of small businesses on the line depending on your audit skills. I bet that pays big money
I am newly subscribed to your channel and love your content. I am in the PNW and relatively close to the Oregon Convention Center. I would love to meet you in Portland. Do you know what events you will be attending here? Do you have any day passes available? I only saw registration for vendors? Do you have anymore scholarships for training? Thank you!
Mr. Clewis, when will you be in Dublin? I am from Desoto, TX but will be in Ireland the first week of September. I have been seriously considering changing careers at the ripe old age of 38.
I love your content and I have been working as a ISA for the past 2 years at a company, but I'm looking for ways to level up. I also have the PCIP, but trying to figure out next steps.
I will be happy to get your linked in profile so that I follow up for more gyst … I have been trying to get into the cyber security field … I’m cyber security+ certified
Great info! If one doesn't have the qualifications to become certified as a GRC yet can you start at an entry level GRC role for the hands on experience ? If so what courses would you recommend on the path?
You mentioned that this is in the realm of GRC, what are all the realms/categories of cybersecurity? Do you already have a video going in depth with this?
I will start out with the fact I am no expert. I'm learning about cybersecurity to get started on a career. But the other realms would be things like ethical hacking, security analysis, security engineering and architecture, forensics, incident response. Everyone going into the field should know the basics of all these moving parts, but your career would focus in on one expertise.
Great video; thanks again for bringing information like this. In my case, how do I get the job without the skill or experience? Every job is asking 3-5 years of Experience even an entry-level job if there is any😊😊
I'm new here, I want to go into tech (self thought/Learning online) so please can you recommend the one that have high chances of getting a job. Your recommendation sill go a long way for me🙏🏼
I live In Houston I was wondering do you host any workshop events in Texas ? I want to change my career into the cyber security world. I have a lot of concerns. I would love to discuss with you or your team. Thank you.
Hey Boyd, Ive setup a few Windows-based enterprise networks. Im a network engineer with over 30 years of IT experience. What can I do to specialize? Then, what salary can I command with my wide and vast range of experience.
Your channel has help me to make a career change from the food industrial. Please I am in Ghana and I was to transition into Cyber Security. How do I register please. I tried the website and it took me to Course Careers. But it is Cyber Security I am looking for. Thanks
i am an electrical engineer and wants to switch career to become a cyber security auditor...please what step should i take first to acquire the skills into the tech industry?
How can you go from this into a more technical role? Or is the money in this role so high because it's tedious while not being technical? I have an opportunity to snag an audit role, but it's not technical and I am currently in a very technical voice engineering role. I am afraid to lose the technical chops that I have by moving into a non technical role. Is this a good foot in the door into cyber? What is a path back to a technical role? Why do auditors make so much $$ for a non tech role?
Hello I'm a fan. Certified compTIA A + and N+ but, can i just moved to acquire cybersecurity cert or go for compTIA security+. Help a brother. From nigeria
Hello, I'm new to Cybersecurity. I'm taking the isc2 certified in cybersecurity course to learn the fundamentals of cybersecurity. So, basically, I will call myself a newbie. Needless to say, the part "enforce password history" says 24 passwords remembered. Yet, the screen talking about what should be implemented on "enforce password history" says it should be 10 password(s). Is that another error or could the company let the auditor determine if the 24 are allowed versus the policy states? Just asking for clarity and reference.
I need help let me start off by saying if you look at my résumé, you’re going to laugh 36 years old and my skills are nowhere where it should be. I’m interested in service security. If we can have a zoom meeting I’ll be great.
