2025 looks like a pivotal year for cybersecurity, with AI reshaping both defenses and attacks, supply chain vulnerabilities escalating, and big changes like Windows 10’s end-of-life. 2025 is shaping up to be even tougher than 2024.
I have a feeling companies will do the good ol 'make EVERYTHING use AI,' realize that it's a trash idea (AGAIN), and then go back to trying to make it a tool and not a replacement for jobs lmao
Like another account said, 2025 is looking to be pivotal for cybersecurity! Great talking points around these key topics. Let's see where all of it takes us!
Cyber security will play a crucial part for business as AI keeps devolving more vulnerabilities and threats will rise which will require security measure and protection so cybersecurity will always remain in deemand no matter what
Cybersecurity is an industry that has a huge potential for business. When we did our start up a year ago, Selenium Group was instrumental in getting our cybersecurity model all set up. Great video! Keep up the cool content.
Considering AI point there is other side. Nowadays with help from AI huge amount of code has been written. And that leads to potential vigilabilities. I think we will see more and more new and some old services with vulnerabilities caused by AI code writing. Anless, suddenly Copilot or similar tool could write code on "senior" level without major flaws
Great point of view. Something I haven't really considered myself, especially if these LLMs are trained on public, internet-based data such as StackOverFlow and Reddit forums, which I know Google and other major AI players have contracts with. Thanks for the share!
About the prediction #1, cybersecurity unfilled positions I have Security+ and eJPT. And I also get no job offerings/interviews even trying to improve my CV and practical skills.
The mention of narrow AI's role in cybersecurity automation is intriguing. Do you think the overhype around AI might lead to unrealistic expectations for its effectiveness in combating evolving cyber threats, or can narrow AI still revolutionize basic security practices?
I currently work as a data scientist at a big corporation, but I'm looking to transition into the cybersecurity field since analytics isn't quite my passion. I've noticed job postings for roles like Cybersecurity Data Scientist in the internal job postings, which has sparked my interest in switching careers. Do you think I can leverage my AI skills as an entry point into cybersecurity, or do these roles only exist in large companies? I plan to start by earning certifications such as Security+ or Network+.
Absolutely. I am continuing to witness how students leveraging AI tools are in their disposal are bridging the gap between theory and experience. The Security+ is a great first certification to start with.
Maybe someday we need to monitor AI thus needing more cybersecurity specialist and i also think there should be more restriction towards nudity and for those awful group chats to be banned one day
Would you say that there's a lot of competition because it's full of people who don't necessarily have a lot of experience and certs that at the time, it was easier to get in but those who have especially hands-on projects and experiences that make it easier to find a job? I ask this because I get the impression we have a lot of people who say they want a job in cybersecurity but aren't actually doing anything about it to upskill for one in this market. Thoughts?
I agree with what you are saying here. This is anecdotal evidence here... Based on my experience, conversations, and what I read online, those who just certification chase or get degrees are still getting passed by during interviews. This is because a lot of employers want to see something more, what are you actually doing with this set of information? The traditional way or means of getting employment has transitioned into a thing that is still relevant, but becoming less relevant, if that makes sense. I see most certifications and university degrees as check marks. Important check marks, but that's about it. I think the "new" model of getting employment is building a personal portfolio, blogging, networking with the community, talks, volunteering, social media, etc.
Hey! Congrats on 3 years, that's great. You possess something that a lot of entry-level candidates have a difficult time getting, experience. Experience is often the most important aspect when it comes to finding the right candidate. I would recommend scoping your next career route, what is it that you want to do? Ideally, it's still something in defense or security operations. Study, find projects to work on, mentor co-workers if you can. From there, you can use your relevant years of experience as a SOC analyst to showcase your fundamental knowledge and use that as a stepping stone for your next career route.
how are these jobs going to get filled, if these jobs are not going to give no entry level people a chance. we gotta start somewhere. i just got the google cyber security certificate. but the more and more i keep trying to dig into this field, the more and more i hear that im not getting a chance in hell. what do i gotta do besides continue to learn, continue to try, and not give up? spend $30 grand on some kind of bootcamp? i mean seriously. if these companies arent going to give anyone a chance entry level, why are any of us even trying? thats dead ass wrong. and a big money grab to get a collective of people to spend money and time for nothing. like these places aint already billionares. this is crazy
A part of the issue is certainly the way companies set up their team structure, often looking for senior / principal level individuals who are already trained rather than building internal programs for training and promotion.
i chose cyber security because i saw that competition isn't that high and AI doesn't have chances to take over it like web dev ... so im a beginner in cyber security , should i follow this path and depend on it for my future ? pls i need answers and advices
@Tristrem i started my tech learning journey with web dev but i couldnt even get any job because of high competition and AI , thats why im afraid of learning smth new , but thanks anyways
I agree with @Tristrem here, go all in. As long as we have information propagating online, we will still need cybersecurity experts. For the near term, I think security is actually going to grow alongside AI, as most of these tech companies aren't putting security first. Explore and keep at it if this is a field that interests you!
@@ineeees_ sorry my English is not good..... i also purchased webdev integrated blockchain course but soon realize competition is not only tough but due to ai its like walking on double edge sword. in cybersecurity there are bunch of domains. once a guy name network chunk said while u start learning cybersecurity you could get fascinated via anything not necessary only ethical hacking, like you are learning networking and might end up being network engineer or maybe u get fascinated towards Linux and end up doing something there so opportunities are there if one door get closed there still another opened for you. okay lets come to point, start learning cybersecurity asap, i ve started few months ago, i will suggest you following unix guy 6 months roadmap or basically search for one, i use chatgpt and review it from some people who are already in industry and working hard on it
My advice as a sophomore at Penn state IF YOU ARE doing the college route simply get involved outside of your classes ie certs,projects, and especially clubs/ competitions those can provide the best experience
Alert.. Hi , I want to learn cyber security from beginner to professional level but i am very confused. Where to start, how to start and how will proceed. Can someone suggest me in details pls. It helps me alot. Thanks you pin me pls
hey hi i wanted to clear my foundational knowledge to become a pentester like (networking,OS,linux,etc) can you tell me where i can learn this foundations for free on internet
Look for these books to get started 1. Linux Shell Scripting Bible 2. How linux works? - Brian Ward 3. Computer Networking - A top down approach - James F. Kurose 4. Hacking art of exploitation - Jon Ericsson 5. Windows Internals - Mark Russinovich
As @syedadil8734 highlighted, these are some great resources! There's a lot out there. Take a look at TH-cam, No Starch Press, and Udemy. (self-promo here..) I will also be releasing a program soon for free and also re-releasing the course I created for introduction to cybersecurity and the fundamentals soon for free, stay tuned.

Cybersecurity will always be on demand and especially good to have I don’t think cybersecurity will end soon nor it won’t take over AI
I have a feeling companies will do the good ol 'make EVERYTHING use AI,' realize that it's a trash idea (AGAIN), and then go back to trying to make it a tool and not a replacement for jobs lmao
@@normifiedAI can’t replace Cybersecurity though!
Thanks Grant. Great thoughts. Hopefully the new year will be a good year for us all.

Any advice for a Cybersecurity beginner who's just starting out?
i would watch cyber security stocks and companies this year there going to be big movers this upcoming year

Hi! What aspect of cyber security do you think I should opt in for, i am interested in protecting gadgets of individuals.
Hi! Take a look into IoT security. If you are interested in this field, a lot of big tech companies have security opportunities in these divisions.
@collinsinfosec I will do just that. I will get back to you on my progress. Thank you for your response. 🥰
Is there a pod cast you would recommend to keep updated with cybersecurity atmosphere?
I would recommend "Security Now" - it's my all-time favorite!
Hey, i have completed 3 years soc role, need to pivot to a different role, could you give me some personal insights
Is soc analyst is replaced by ai pls reply sir

Imo, the chase of AIs really narrowing/limiting the wonders of Computer Science...
The only part that still diverse are cybersec...
how are these jobs going to get filled, if these jobs are not going to give no entry level people a chance. we gotta start somewhere. i just got the google cyber security certificate. but the more and more i keep trying to dig into this field, the more and more i hear that im not getting a chance in hell. what do i gotta do besides continue to learn, continue to try, and not give up? spend $30 grand on some kind of bootcamp? i mean seriously. if these companies arent going to give anyone a chance entry level, why are any of us even trying? thats dead ass wrong. and a big money grab to get a collective of people to spend money and time for nothing. like these places aint already billionares. this is crazy

Im gonna go to school for this...i hope its fun
Will ai replace bug bounty hunter and soc analyst ?
Not SOC Analysts
The best cyber-security is paper.
Hi I'm beginner can you give me Roadmap to get in cloud security.
Sir. Pls reply is soc analyst is demand and can ai replaced soc entry level jobs pls reply
soc l1 and a bit of l2 can be automated with help of ai (im not sure about the pratical )
i chose cyber security because i saw that competition isn't that high and AI doesn't have chances to take over it like web dev ... so im a beginner in cyber security , should i follow this path and depend on it for my future ? pls i need answers and advices
Go all in bro. As long as the internet exists, there will be need to protect people and companies information.

Sir pls reply is ai replaced soc entry level jobs I’m preparing soc right now pls Gide what should I do pls reply
Switch to lumberjack or other trade
@ what is this pls explain
I'll be happy if this Abominable Intelligence bubble bursts.
I am ready for never hearing "AI-power assistance", "AI this", "AI that". Probably something of the past now.

I think CyberSecurity will boom because of Donald Trump back in office next year
Maybe. A lot more cyber attacks will occur.
@@vectoralphaSec Regardless, even if there is more attacks, the market will try to catchup the demand for defending this attacks
@@vectoralphaSec that's exactly why. They want to see the man fail, you can make money defending that.
My man think the president is the tooth fairy for real.
I will stay as far away from politics as possible, as it really doesn't matter, cybersecurity will continue to grow regardless of who is president.
hey hi i wanted to clear my foundational knowledge to become a pentester like (networking,OS,linux,etc) can you tell me where i can learn this foundations for free on internet
Try CEH certification from EC council, don't take from random institutions, just get it from EC concil
Look for these books to get started
1. Linux Shell Scripting Bible
2. How linux works? - Brian Ward
