Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Going to admit I didnβt watch the full video but most of it. Question I had is, how often are you tooling custom solutions like deploying lambda functions to accomplish some cloud security goal versus just deploying a COTS cloud security solution (CSPM/CWPP) configuring that and helping clients just establish a program around it, eg, here are your SOC SOPs based off certain alerts?
Edit: Just trying to gauge how much of a cloud engineer role is dev skills vs just analyst skills. Understanding being able to write scrips and custom things are powerful but at this point in time are people still needing to come up with custom cloud security tools or are things commoditized enough where itβs more about being able to leverage existing tools than building your own?
Even this conversation is too high level to me that means I am too noobiw
Bro how are you not gonna put your dog in front of the camera? Give the people what they really want.
But actually I appreciate the videos and thoughtful content for beginners
Right now im young in my cybersec career, have a nice job with an agency as an analyst. Work isnt very rewarding though and want to pivot private sector in either the pen or dev side of things. I have a decent understanding and ability in C++ and python (and powershell but π€’). Going forward what language do you recommend for increasing my job prospects?
Any advise from OP or anyone else:
Iβve been in infrastructure for 8 years. Always as this weird Sys Admin/Jr Engineering role/Network Admin role.
Iβve been going to college for longer than Iβm willing to admit but when youβre an adult, it takes longer. I just transferred out of a BCIS degree to CS and start this summer. β Hopefully to graduate within 2 years.
Itβs taken me awhile to figure out exactly what I want to do. I guess Iβve know for awhile but could never really answer if anyone asked me. Because as you kinda stated, no one really talks about what CS is. I mean, as an infrastructure guy, we always try to focus on security (or at least my previous employer made us.) Anyways, a about a month ago I realized it was cloud sec.
So here I am cramming for my Sec+. No employer has ever made getting certs a priority. I have taken InfoSec classes and actually watched some Lydia videos for said InfoSec classes. So the cramming is a refresh for a couple of weeks away.
Besides the get to knowing python answer (I also know Java, C++, and Obj-C), what else should I be doing to get a job into CloudSec?
It seems super hard to break into something I feel like I want to do. Especially with the experience I have.
Late to the party, but I'm a freshman in college right now leaning towards a concentration cybersecurity majoring in Comp Sci. Are there any tips worth knowing?!
Hi i am working as SOC Analyst Level 1 and interested in a cloud security. So should I get experience of traditional Security and later on jump to cloud security or jump right now to Cloud Security basically my company is providing services of Cloud also and managing Azure Sentinel but currently i am looking only Splunk.
