  • Take the CISSP Exam RIGHT NOW…don’t wait!
    Apr 30 2022

    Take the CISSP exam RIGHT NOW! Don’t wait on this cyber security certification.

    With every Cyber Security certification in the industry, there will be some point where the certification vendor decides to update the exam. A large majority of the certification vendors use roughly a three-year cycle so that people are relatively current when they pass the exam. Whenever a vendor decides that they are going to update the exam, they will also usually give around six months’ notice so that people that are preparing can make the decision on which version to take. The CISSP is coming up on a change of their own but since only the format is changing and not the material covered, the timeframe is a lot shorter.

    Join me in this video as we walk through the reasons why you should take the CISSP exam RIGHT NOW instead of waiting. After you finish this video, you will have a much better understanding of the upcoming changes and you will have enough information to make your own decision.

    Are you curious what Cyber Security noobs are saying today?

    Cyber Security is a career field where we have new people (noobs) joining every day. We have people coming from both related career fields (IT, programming, etc.) and from completely unrelated career fields (journalism, legal, etc.). With all these different backgrounds, we still tend to have people asking the same or similar questions that can help provide all people with valuable knowledge. Additionally, as people climb the corporate ladder and reach higher technical or leadership roles, it is helpful to look at where new people are today so that we can help them accelerate their career today.

    Join me as we walk through things that Cyber Security noobs are saying today. Although this is not a complete list, these are by far the most common things that I get asked or told by noobs. After watching this video, if you speak with a noob or if you are a noob, hopefully this information will help you better position yourself.

  • You SHOULD NOT start a Cyber Security channel on YouTube
    Mar 25 2022

    Today there are so many people looking to start a Cyber Security channel on YouTube for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, nobody ever talks about the reasons why you should not start a Cyber Security channel on YouTube. Many of these reasons are not common sense and end up leading to Cyber Security channels that are doomed for failure from the start. Developing content can be an extremely valuable and rewarding experience, however if you want to be successful, you cannot just create random content and hope that it goes viral. Successful content takes a lot of work and research so that you can really connect with your audience instead of producing either low-quality or simply boring content that nobody wants to watch.

    Join me as I will reveal the reasons why you should not start a Cyber Security channel on YouTube. By revealing these reasons, I hope that I can save people from the unknown and at minimum, make sure that you are more aware of what you will face. The things that I mention in this video could literally save you from wasting time doing something that you would hate if you only knew these pieces of information. It is critical that you aim for success because otherwise you are just wasting your time and will end up hating the process.
