Ovo200: Hello. I work in cybersecurity. I came from a bioscience background. I also have a background in web application development. One thing I will tell you is this: Cybersecurity is a combination of various IT skills - from Networking, to application development to server management et al. You must know and understand the basics, and the underlying technologies and processes in Information Technology. With that said, I'll advise you to get trainings and certification on the following: 1. Networking (Network+, CCNA etc). Not just to read book o. Go to centres that can teach you hands on skills in networking, how a SIEM works and the likes. 2. Learn how to program. Learn to be proficient in Python, intermediate skill in C++, Java and Web development (because you cannot hack a 3. web application without understanding how to build one) and may be some mobile development (If you want to go into mobile app pentesting). 4. Have a deep understanding of system administration. 5. Then take the CEH. But I prefer eJPT by Elearnsecurity because their exams is practical, you must hack to answer any of the 20 questions. 6. Take Security+ to understand how to secure your information assets. Just as a note too, cybersecurity is not just about hacking, there is compliance aspect to it too. Like ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System), TOGAF, ITSMS etc. Your HND is enough. Just show you competence in the things i mentioned above, and you will excel. Good health to you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

mofedamijo:OK thanks...by networking what r u trying to emphasise? |
Re: Cyber Security Or A Degree Top Up by mofedamijo(m): 11:16pm On Aug 25, 2021 |
Hahjascho: An ideal cyber security professional most possess knowledge in system architectures, system administration, operating systems, networking, virtualization software, and other major components of IT systems. A comprehensive understanding of systems architecture allows you to have a big picture view to see where possible vulnerabilities lie, and how to potentially protect all access points from attacks. The CompTIA Security+ certification tests for this broad range of knowledge, but having the certification doesn’t verify your ability to apply the knowledge. You should have an understanding of configuration and management of firewalls, network load balancers, network routers and switches, and network architectures. Networking and virtualization technologies are critical for how businesses operate. With the advent of cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), accessed through web browsers, demands an intricate understanding of security on this level. 1 Like |

@ Amuluonyenaego Bro please does your response mean he should rather go for programming language like Java, Python e.t.c than taking the COMPTIA and CEH courses offered him? or you meant he should go for the COMPTIA and CEH rather than schooling. Please clarify, as I will be drawing inference from this. Thank you in anticipation of your response. Amuluonyenaego: |

I studied some networking, MS server management, python, Some tutorials in Comptia A+, and I started some hacking training in hack the box (premium). Got a job as a web developer in the organization I work for currently. Then I was given a wonderful opportunity to learn on the job. Studied for ISMS exams and passed, and was given a lot of inhouse training before i was ready to take on customers' projects. I currently handle everything in Application security, since that is the area where I am more comfortable with becasue of my Dev background. I will say get the basis of networking and server management (Active directory et al). Then pay for security +. After that Get a premium account on try-hack-me (8 pounds/10 USD per month). Once you are confortable with exploiting vulnerable machine, start applying fr a job, say as a security analyst intern or so. You cannot know everything about IT security by going to these training centre. Get the fundamentals, then apply for an intern position. Ovo200: 1 Like |

erubati: You do not need certification for all of them na. Lots of courses on udemy, youtube. Only go for certification for the area of security u want to get into. E.g application security - (Free resources: on networking, programming, web dev, mobile dev) then paid (CEH or eJPT, Security +, do try hack me or hacktheboux.eu). |
Re: Cyber Security Or A Degree Top Up by Kalusam(m): 12:29am On Sep 02, 2021 |
I studied Agriculture too and am working towards going into Cybersecurity. Before you invest so much money into training, look into free resources like this from Cisco Academy. https://www.netacad.com/courses/cybersecurity Then decide if this is really what you want, CyS is broad... Ovo200: |

[quote author=Dim08 post=105167036] Not at all. Your certification determines your fee but generally Nigerian partners' fee are quite higher. Luckily for me I got a company outside the country who's footing the bill for me. I'm more like an IT BA trainee[/quote) Can we talk? |
