Network security is an essential part of modern-day businesses and organizations, and network security engineers are responsible for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information and systems. From monitoring security alerts and incidents to performing vulnerability assessments and implementing security controls, network security engineers play a crucial role in protecting sensitive data and preventing cyberattacks.

    The help desk is a great starting point, it gets you direct customer service experience, and lets you get hands on with some systems administrator and network admin troubleshooting. I skipped the service desk by chance and went straight into a network admin role, and went on to be a network engineer, and now I'm an ISSE, I'm definitely fortunate in the path I took, but literally anyone can do this if they put forth the effort.

    If there’s no internet on the computer, what’s the first thing you should do? Help desk experience enables you to be able to develop the right mentality and procedure towards doing exactly what an engineer does best, solve problems. Networks are always blamed for systems related issues, help desk enables you to expand your skill set and makes you a better network security professional. Be patient! You’ll outshine those who skipped it and push papers

      Working on a help desk helps you develop a troubleshooting methodology, and helps you discover what occurs on the user side, and how to best remedy issues there - which in turn will make you a much better engineer. Not to mention those network changes you made are going to DIRECTLY affect the help desk people, so it’s nice to know how things are on the other side.
      If a user reports to the help desk several users are experiencing slow responses, dropping off the network, etc;
      With ZERO help desk experience, you jump to checking interfaces for utilization/drops, check your logs, running in circles…
      With help desk experience, you ask more pinpointed questions to determine the scope of the issue, and realize it was only one users computer, and that he moved around the system without authorization and possibly broke the fiber in the process.
      So it helps ! Not required, but it’ll make you a better network engineer. It’s like jumping from no experience to building engines… being a mechanic first helps.

      its better to make mistakes and learn from them on the help desk than in a higher level position too....

    I only have some I.T. experience in the national guard as a satellite operator/maintainer (Routing, Switching, SATCOMS) but that's it. I'm currently a student for WGU earning my Bachelor's in Network Engineering and Security - Cisco. My goal and hope is to get a job at Cisco but what do you think I can get with this degree?
    The certificates with this degree are: LPI Linux foundations, ITIL, CCNA, Cisco DevNet Associate, Cisco CyberOps Associate, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Project , and CompTIA Cloud+

      Niceee. What's the difference between Cisco and the regular Net/Sec Bachelors from WGU?? I'm enrolled but really nervous about which Net+ major to choose

      @SabotTech ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @The Savage Savant From what I've watched and heard. The Cisco route is more difficult but both are good degrees overall. I usually recommend the Cisco route because better experience, pay and more in demand
