If you’re an IT professional ready to transform your IT career into a high-paying cybersecurity role, I’m looking for a few motivated individuals to work with. Apply today to see how we can help you make that transition and land six-figure opportunities-without needing more certifications. Apply at www.boydclewis.com/grc
Would your program be a good fit for someone that has experience in a help desk/tech support position? Or is it tailored more for someone that has system administration or network engineering like in today's example?
This is on the money for me. I was in the process of hiring someone to reinvent my resume, and I thank God for this video and your perspective. I can reinvent my resume myself now. I am a retired army veteran with a bachelors in cybersecurity, currently working on my masters, TSSCI clearance on the DoD arena in San Antonio, working in a NOC operations position. I've been trying to thread the needle to transition between networking and cybersecurity. My resume keywords get me filtered into candidate positions by recruiters but don't garner any attention from the people hiring for those positions. Everyone I know who is already in a cyber position has told me to just take a position to get into the field, but that is easier said than done. I had told myself the other day that if I had skills that could translate into the cyber arena, then it would make the transition easier. You have given me that key in this video. I never related my duties and skills used in my last two positions to the CIA nor realized that I currently have more than five years of experience in cybersecurity just based on my last two positions. Thank you so much, Mr. Lewis. This perspective is a resume and life game changer for me.
25+ years of experience in IT as a System Administrator and engineer but am always told "In order to work CyberSecurity you need at least Sec+ or other entry level cert". Re-writing my resume very soon. Thanks Boyd
This is an excellent parallelism concept. I do executive protection with a majority of my job protwcting my clients residence. Our operations room has 3 PCs, 7 monitors divided to surveil 4 residences simultaneously. We monitor social media, and periodically compose property risk reports among other tasks. Id like to break into cybersecurity. What are transferable skills and where should I start?
OK, so I'm done cussing you and my TV. 🤨 Thank makes sooo much sense. In IT for 20 yrs as a SysAdmin and couldn't really tie it together for the transition. Thanks for the paradigm shift Boyd. Back to the cussing and redoing the resume.
Great material, keen eye for detail! I was told I should get a CISSP if I wanted to get into a higher level Security role. I joined your program and think it's very good, been working in IT and CyberSec. for about 20 years.
Great Content Sir. There are definitely multiple paths to get into Cybersecurity. There is so much free content out there to learn and grow. For new people trying to pivot into IT, I recommend learning from what is out there, like your channel to see if IT and Cyber is for you.
There are so many titles and roles for Cyber Security... What would be a good starting role to seek with years of experience? CS Analyst, CS Specialist, CS IAM, etc... ??
First, start by doing a skill inventory to identify tasks you're already performing that align with key areas like cybersecurity, such as patching or vulnerability management. Then, take those keywords from your tasks and search for job listings on LinkedIn that match those skills. This approach will help you find roles that fit your current expertise, instead of trying to fit yourself into a specific job from the outset. Let me know if that makes sense!
@@BoydClewis all makes sense with the exception of looking on LinkedIn. I've done all the things that you'd listed and a lot more. Searching one keyword at a time like "patching, vuln. mgmt., information security, etc..." seems counter intuitive to me. Let's not forget I just now was able to justify and qualify everything I had been doing fits under the CIA scope. I'm taking inventory now and updating the resume. The Qualys vendor cert is on my todo list. Thanks for all you do.
Nice job sir. What is the difference between Cyber Security and Information Security? Are your cyber security professional or information security professional? Thanks sir.
i've been doing the coursework for both qualys and splunk...both free...i was thinking maybe i need to learn one of those...i'm a teacher...never worked a tech job but i'm very tech savvy much more than the average person...just doing things in every day life for myself or other people...i wonder if that kind of stuff even counts...jail breaking old iphones, rooting android phones, accessing my own router settings and making adjustments, running virus scans, and several other more technical things that I don't even feel like listing. lol i have so many questions...
Boyd Thnak you so much this is the most eye opner information I have ever learnt in my entire life as 52 years old man. I have been in the industry for over 12 years doing all that you have outlined. In my current position I have other functions that I managed for my company without any pay rise. I have dicided to take up CISSP cert , in the research made me come in contact with your YT video. Any chance contacting you privately. Thanks do much
As a former service member who possess a clearance and trying to break into the cybersec without any prior experience. Where should I start? I have CCNA cert and currently studying for a comptia sec. Thanks
I was told that CompTIA's Security+ would be required for a specific role. That government program got closed down and the job disappeared so I'm open to any cert that will help me use my 30+ years of IT experience.
So I feel this vid is good for guys already working in IT but Im an American living in China wanting to work remote because I like it here, interested in cybersecurity with no idea if its possible, to do from here and or attainable Tackle that
Per a previous IG post you made regarding frameworks for GRC, how would i demonstrate my skills on resume after learning about them? Will I do it through a portfolio or some other means?
Just threw my iPad after listening to you break this down bc I worked the same role for the past 5 yrs getting seriously underpaid while I did not only my job but bosses job as well, l was making just about 10k what you were making in that role🤦🏾♂️dam!
Certification demonstrate you have some level of knowledge. With that being said, you have certs yourself, so you can’t say you got through the door just based on transferable skills
So you need System Administrator experience before moving into Cybersecurity? Do you need certs and experience for System Administrator or can you transition into that from a non-IT job? I guess my question is which IT job was your first on the IT ladder/hierarchy?
Ok im about a few minutes in. Im under the assumption you have to be at least an IT professional to benefit from this video. I have a crim investigator background NO IT BACKGROUND so I would need the college courses, certifications etc etc. so this video is NOT fo me
@BoydClewis what route or roadmap would you suggest for pursuing a career in the GRC sector of Cybersecurity? I am pivoting from Risk Management in the Financial Industry. Thank you
Yes, there are plenty of transferable skills for GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). I've successfully helped several truck drivers transition into cybersecurity using this approach. The key is to shift the focus away from driving the truck and concentrate on governance-related tasks. For example, think about what you do before driving, like conducting a pre-route vehicle inspection. In this case, the truck is a business asset, and your inspection ensures it complies with DOT standards. If it's not compliant and an accident occurs, the company could face legal consequences. By performing these regular audits, you're providing a valuable service to the company. Just be sure not to focus on the driving aspect when discussing your experience.
@@BoydClewisWow this explanation in relation to driver pivoting into cybersecurity is spot on! I currently work in the commercial real estate/property management industry as a Workplace Services Coordinator managing the day to day property operations including the following: access requests (i.e. credential provisioning & deprovisioning, or credential management, event tracking, user management, assigning users to groups(users here meaning property tenants) using on-premise & cloud access control system), visitor management systems, cloud video & surveillance systems, vendor management/coordination/screening, audio-visual (AV) setup & technology support for meetings and events, mail room operations, incident reporting among others. Based on the above skills and experiences, which area of cybersecurity do I fit into, and how do I communicate the value I bring to a cybersecurity role to a hiring manager? The challenge has been tying all these experiences and skills to a cybersecurity transition.
Well buddy I'm one of those guys that has always been fasinated with the tech industry and is a Commercial Truck Driver 15+yrs by trade but definitely searching for right opportunities here to break the barrier.🤔
Hi, this video has been so useful thank you. I currently work in software support and looking to transition into cyber security but struggling with how to write down transferable skills. What would you suggest please? Thanks in advance
