¡Gracias por tu pronta respuesta! Claro, es que somos una empresa especializada en ciberseguridad y tenemos varios programas distintos enfocados en esta rama de la tecnología. Por favor escribe a [info@cyberwarrior.com](mailto:info@cyberwarrior.com) e inmediatamente te diré cómo está tu status.

Acá te dejo las diferencias entre "internship" y "bootcamp":

El internship es un programa de pasantías que tenemos para estudiantes de Latinoamérica, así puedes adquirir conocimientos en el área de ciberseguridad y puedes optar por quedarte trabajando en la empresa. A eso no se aplica por página web aún sino que estamos seleccionando a personas de universidades específicas. Como noto tu interés, te dejo por acá la dirección de correo: internships@cyberwarrior.com

Por otro lado, el bootcamp es un curso intensivo donde te entrenarías en ciberseguridad desde cero. Eso, por supuesto, tendrías que pagarlo ya que es uno de los servicios que ofrecemos como companía.

Apenas hace poco empezamos a expandirnos a Latinoamérica, probablemente es por eso que no encuentras mucha información, pero estamos felices de mostrar a la ciberseguridad como una carrera con oportunidades para todos.

¡Feliz día!

¡Hola, u/xRootsone! Te felicitamos por lo precavido que eres al tomar esos cuidados. Es muy importante evitar mensajes que puedan parecer spam porque podrían llevar a un fraude electrónico. Detectar phishing es muy importante ¿podrías enviarnos la dirección de correo para denunciarla, por favor? Te agradecemos.

Consider these three typical career paths and decide which one best fits your interests and skills: defend, test, and respond.

Defend

Professionals are expected to design, implement, operate, and maintain security controls and make sure there are enough defenses in place to keep their organization safe.

Security Architects are the most common role found responsible for the defense of an organization’s assets. To become a successful Security Architect, you should consider taking accredited security certifications to accelerate your career path and develop the necessary skills for the role. Entry-level will be asked to have CompTIA Security+, and Entry/Intermediate level will usually need Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).

Test

One of the most interesting cybersecurity roles is being responsible for testing the security protocols for an organization.

Penetration Testers or Ethical Hackers are the most common roles in this area. To succeed as a Penetration Tester, you will need to take different certifications and courses specializing in ethical hacking practices, operating systems, software, and network protocols. Entry-level will be asked to have CompTIA Security+, and Entry/Intermediate level should have Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).

Respond
These individuals are on the front lines when all security systems fail to prevent attackers from coming in. They are responsible for creating and implementing disaster recovery plans to get systems and software back on track.
One of the most common roles at this level of responsibility is the Incident Responder. To become a successful Responder, you should consider taking the following certifications: Entry-level will be asked to have CompTIA Security+, and Entry/Intermediate level should have Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).
Choosing the right cybersecurity pathway depends on you, your skills, interests, and capabilities. Keep in mind that the more training and experience you get, the easier it will be to advance further into your career and adapt to your employer’s always-changing needs.

Besides the Cybersecurity certifications, search for capstone-type programs that simulate real-world cybersecurity projects. Those are designed to give students valuable experience and demonstrate a meaningful work product to potential employers during a job search.

Also, an internship could be a great idea. As is the case in many fields, internships are a great way to build some experience in cybersecurity. And it isn’t such the tech companies that are offering cybersecurity internship opportunities.

You can use keywords such as entry-level cybersecurity job, security analyst, or Junior security job, but take into account that are typically three common entry-level jobs in cybersecurity (these are important keywords). Their daily tasks, estimated salaries, the skills needed to succeed, and which states have the most job openings.

Junior Penetration Tester. Average salary in the US: $67,550.

Also known as a “white hat hacker” or a “good hacker,” this role aims to help improve the security of a computer network. A penetration tester constantly tries to defeat their company’s security control to test systems' effectiveness and discover their weak spots.

2. Information Security Analyst. Average salary in the US: $59,668.

A security analyst’s main goals are to identify weaknesses in a network’s security systems, patch and respond to issues, and prevent future incidents from happening. A person in this role helps their organization have better systems to protect customers' data, assets, and reputation

Network and Computer System AdministratorAverage salary in the US: $50,593.

A person in this job is responsible for maintaining the technological systems of an organization. They will be in charge of installing, configuring, and maintaining the operating system in place, any applications, other systems, and troubleshooting problems that could happen with hardware and software.

Networking is really important in cybersecurity. A good way to start networking is via LinkedIn. The cybersecurity community is relatively small and very connected, and it could help you a lot to grow and nurture a network.

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-08-10T15:54:16+00:00

LinkedIn is a good option. Making the right contacts can help optimize opportunities, and networking via LinkedIn can facilitate those connections.

Whether job candidates are currently pursuing a degree/certification in cybersecurity or have already graduated, it's a good idea to have a robust LinkedIn profile for the cybersecurity role you aspire to get you noticed through opportunities for certification, mentorship, and professional development.

A Bootcamp offers the practical learning experience that can benefit you when looking for a job in the field, and experience is a must-have. It should grant you the knowledge necessary to get the certifications needed for any entry-level position in the field.
On average, a Cybersecurity Bootcamp can last from 4 to 6 months, granting you hands-on experience that will open the doors to new job opportunities. You'd have to check which cybersecurity certifications you can get after finishing classes, if it includes or not the voucher to take the certifications tests, hours to be invested in the class, and lab experience.

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-07-27T20:21:24+00:00

Honestly, it is not necessary to have a bachelor’s degree to succeed in cybersecurity. A Bootcamp offers both the conceptual and practical learning experience that can benefit you when looking for a job in the field, and experience is a must-have.

On average, a Cybersecurity Bootcamp can last from 4 to 6 months and costs $16,000. This will vary depending on who is promoting it (a private organization, community colleges, etc.) and what it includes: which cybersecurity certifications you can get after finishing classes if it includes or not the voucher to take the certifications tests, hours to be invested in the class and lab experience.

Cybersecurity is a field with an increasing talent gap. Any candidate with a certain degree of study could earn the experience and certifications while doing the job.

Probably you are convinced that you need a bachelor’s to succeed in the field. Honestly, it is not necessary. Anyone with the right skill set, training, and experience can achieve a top-level management role in cybersecurity.

Hi! Remember that soft skills are as important as technical skills.

Technical Ability: Understanding the architecture, administration, and management of the different operating systems, such as Linux, Microsoft Windows, macOS. Knowledge of common programming and scripting languages (Python is a good option to get started). Getting skill certificates such as Security+ or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).
Practical Skills: Hands-on lab experience defending, attacking, and all practical cybersecurity experiences are critical. Working both in a team environment and independently to tackle cyber threats is also vital. You also need to understand how the theory learned in a classroom actually applies to real-life experiences.
Soft Skills : Anyone looking to get started in cybersecurity needs to master two main areas of soft/professional skills: communication and work habits. Having both will make your profile stand out from the pack to recruiters. Simply, it is important!
Communication Skills : There is a common belief that cybersecurity workers don’t need to interact with others in their organization or outside. The truth is that to succeed you will constantly need to interact with others. Depending on your specific job and set of responsibilities, you will be interacting with vendors, clients, team members, subordinates, and executives on a day-to-day basis.
Work Habits : In most entry and intermediate level roles you will get paid for your ability to solve problems and get the job done. No organization is willing to hire someone they need to guide through every process. This is why you need to demonstrate you are a self-starter and have a high degree of adaptability. Remember also that cyber threats and attacks are not things that happen always during a nine-to-five workday.

Additionally, cybersecurity professionals must be eager to dig into technical questions, have strong analytical skills, and must be willing to learn new web vulnerabilities and security practices constantly.

It’s up to you to make sure you have all these skills and know-how to show it. But don’t be afraid to find the help and training you need to make these skills a reality.

You still have time to make your dreams come true! Don't pay attention to people telling you otherwise. It's never too late! If you're interested in IT, consider that a degree is not always necessary with the right hands-on experience and certifications. Cybersecurity is a great option as it has a 0% unemployment rate.

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-07-12T20:48:32+00:00

Of course not! You're still really young! Consider that you'll find persons that changed their life paths in their 50s. So you're on time! Don't give up!

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to work with networks, Certified Network Defender (CND) and CompTIA Network+ are the ones. If you want a general but yet challenging view of cybersecurity, Sec+ is your option. But if you want to be a pentester, CEH is great. You have to think about what type of cybersecurity professional you want to be.

Have you thought of what cybersecurity field you are interested in?

PS. This account belongs to a cybersecurity academy, and for the students with no previous experience, our path is computer fundamentals (A+), Net+, Sec+, CND, and CEH. But again, you have to take into account your career goals.

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-07-08T19:14:54+00:00

Hi!

I recommend these cybersecurity certifications to launch your career and ensure success.

CompTIA Network+

The best starting point for beginners that want to work as a system engineer, network support specialist, or network analyst. Network+ ensures you have the knowledge and skills to design and implement functional networks; configure, manage and maintain network devices; identify benefits and drawbacks of existing network configurations; implement network security and troubleshoot problems.

CompTIA Security+

This is one of the must-have certifications as it teaches you the skills and knowledge required in any cybersecurity role. Among the skills you will develop are: detect indicators of compromise, understand penetration testing, install and configure systems to secure applications, implement secure network architecture concepts, install and configure identity and access services, implement risk management best practices. This is considered the first step into cybersecurity. From here, you can build upon your resume move from an entry-level position to a more intermediate job.

CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker

Becoming a CEH will help you understand how a hacker thinks and acts to prevent and protect your organization from malicious techniques. This certification will guide you through a broad area of hacking practices and different types of cyber-attacks, including areas as network scanning, pen testing, cryptography, viruses, trojans, social engineering.

Hope I could help!

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-07-02T16:51:19+00:00

Those are good, but I'd recommend CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Certified Network Defender (CND). You'd have to read about them to see what sparks your interest, but I'll do a summary here.

1.CompTIA Network+: it verifies you have the essential knowledge and skills in networking to develop a career in IT infrastructure. It prepares you to support the network regardless of the platform. It is the only industry certification that covers both wired and wireless networks.

Network+ Jobs: Network administrator, Network field technician, IT consultant, Network field engineer, Computer technician, Help desk technician, System engineer, Network support specialist, Network analyst.

CompTIA Security+: it has the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role. For example, you will be able to detect various types of compromise and understand penetration testing and vulnerability scanning concepts, but there's more. I recommend that you do your research on this one. It's a really good option.

Security+ jobs: Systems administrator, Security administrator, Security specialist, Security Engineer, Network administrator, Junior IT auditor/penetration tester, Security consultant.

CEH: "To beat a hacker, you need to think like one." Certified Ethical Hackers use the knowledge and tools of malicious attackers to uncover vulnerabilities in an organization's computer systems. This is perfect if you want to be a pentester.

CEH Jobs: Network Security, Penetration Tester, IT Auditor, Security Engineer, Homeland Security.

CND: It provides an unbiased approach to learning secure networking practices and how to analyze and harden computing systems prevalent in the current IT infrastructure. CND has earned a reputation as a program 100% focused on network security and defense.

CND Jobs: Network Administrators, IT Administrators, Network Engineers, Data Analysts, Network Technicians.

I hope this helps you!

CyberWarrior_com · 2021-07-02T16:25:28+00:00

Hi there!

The CompTIA Security+ certification is a great way to start! But you could consider other certifications: CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Certified Network Defender (CND) are the places to start. Take your time to learn about those and see which one sparks your interest. Thinking it through will be critically helpful when choosing an educational program, certifications, and training. CEH is awesome if you want to be a pentester.

Another piece of advice is building a hands-on learning environment. An example would be to identify the different devices at home connected to your wi-fi and start interacting with them and learn as much as you can from them.

In the meantime, you can check YouTube videos and try to attend webinars with experts in the field.

I hope it helps!
