Thanks a lot for your detailed knowledge, I m acknowledge by your information, thanks a lot again ❤️❤️

thank you! i am going through a career transition and I am now looking into these career paths.

If you're intending to go into cyber security/IT/Tech get your bachelors in computer science so you're not pigeon holed into just cyber security and its niches. With a BS in Comp Sci. you can get a job in all areas that encompass computer science, with cyber security being a subset of that. It would be harder for a cyber security degree to allow you to deviate from that subset. If you want to specialize in cyber security, get a masters degree after getting experience at cyber security job.

Nah, all companies want are experience and certificates. You don't even have to go for any degrees if you are planning to get a job in tech. If you want to rank up in the hiearchy however, you need a bachelors at least. You would be surprised how many people work as a programmer having some sort of arts degree. Lol.

CS you can apply to a lot more career paths including cyber. If you want to really get the best of both, find a solid CS bachelors program and pursue a masters in Cybersecurity. You learn the fundamentals of computers in a decent CS program. Also don’t forget about a few good security certifications on the side.

Hello Ryan. I have no experience in Cyber but believe it be the way forward with regards to warfare. I'm looking into studying a MS in Cybersecurity. The particular program's track is in Policy, however. Is this still a good option with good benefits?

Good points. I went somewhat a different route. All my mentors that are currently at the top or upper median of this industry highly recommended CS over cyber. Because everything is going automation and someone has to write all of that. Particularly when you consider the normalization of remote work. Coders with focus and knowledge in cybersec are going to be in higher demand than ever.

@@waliullah3286 I was explaining that cs practitioners that can develop and maintain cyber security infrastructure are in demand because many of the enterprise functions in the cyber security space are being automated by engineers who can design scripts and applications to replace people doing it. Most ticket issues that cannot be immediately solved at the application level are already escalated to engineers anyway. So, approaching infrastructure as code from a cs background is far easier and likely more valuable long term than climbing the purist cyber security hierarchy and discovering you have to go back and learn to code anyway. It’s like achieving journeyman as a race car driver and then finding out that in order to graduate into masterclass rank you need to know how to build the engine that drives the car. Ultimately it depends on how far you want to go, some people are happy being mid level. My mentor had to go back and learn to code later in his career and lamented not doing it earlier in college.

Hey ryan, so I am 16 and really interested in cyber security. what do you think which is better for cyber security, computer science deegre or cyber security degree?

Want to clarify a point with a Masters in Comp Sci, not sure how it isn't worth it, all of the professionals I have talked to through the national labs have said otherwise. Maybe it is different in the private sector but I wouldn't think it'd be.

Dropped out of college my freshman year, and I'm looking to go back, but I am absolutely horrible at problem solving and solving rubix cubes. Should I even enter the industry in the first place?

I've recently decided to go back to school for a career change to cybersecurity. I was wondering if you think it matters which school someone goes to. For example, if I got a degree from VT or Syracuse vs a St Bonaventure or Kennesaw State. The biggest difference I see (besides name recognition) is the length of the classes (7 weeks vs full semester). I was curious what your thoughts are since you're a hiring manager.

The only thing that matters is that your school is accredited and likely to remain that way. I would not go to one that doesn't offer an engineering path also. When the internet was originally developed physical security was assumed and just getting things to work was the main objective. No thought was placed on security as it was developed to be completely private for engineers to use only. Once the engineers get the bugs worked out of the internet protocols there will be much less need for cybersecurity. Get an engineering degree if you are planning long term.

I'm 42 years old and am a successful aircraft maintanence technician. I currently make a little over 100k a year. I have no degree only a certificate through the FAA which I learned to get in 18 months. Cyber security intrigues me. Would it be worth it for me to go into cyber security? Since I'm making over 100k right now?

Say I were to get the required certificates through testout like CompTIA security+ would there be any reason to going to college after that?

*Great information here. I actually didn't expect your final answer to be what it was. Now im on to see what the best tool you recommend in your pinned post* Dexterous X

not sure about the pros for a cybersecurity degree. the demand for cybersecurity professionals is specifically for those with a lot of experience like senior professionals, not juniors with bachelors, because it's just the nature of the job. lots of companies don't want some script kiddie being entrusted with their security (exaggeration but...) and there's a lack of job opportunities for juniors.

Which course would be best among BE /btech in cs and cs with specialization in cyber security ??

4:22 cybersecurity is my first priority and also i love coding but i am not comfortable with deep maths that are teach by the uni in computer science degree because it gives a lot of pressure to students ..... i learn deep maths with coding side by side rather than in uni.

what if I take bachelor in computer science and continue master in cyber security ?

Did you mean to say to major in Cyber Security with coding on the side @ 7:00?

How about Msc in cybersecurity, when you don’t have experience is the job market good for hiring as a graduate in cybersecurity?

I'm a bit curious, but how would you easily be making 70K if not more with a bachelors in cyber. A lot of the jobs that I tried looking into typically required several years of experience as well as a degree. I was curious if you could sum this up. I could only assume it would be an "and/or" situation yet it didn't say that in the description.
