    Thanks IBM and Jeff for such an informative video. I am someone who has a degree Mechanical Engineering and trying to transition into Cybersecurity. I have few more queries adding to the above. 1)Will bootcamps and additional courses help me work around to the higher positions and expertise knowledge which I couldnt get from an University degree? Like: CySa +, Security +, OSCP, CISSP? 2)Will CTF(Capture the Flag) practices help me bag a job? 3) I was not very convinced with the answer for Ai replacement query. Lets say down the line like 10years or so, more and more homes and offices and would be equipped with IOT and more digitized. If there are also threats arising from Ai LLMs, how do we get equipped with Ai and CyberSecurity skills. Requesting you to kindly address the third query separately if possible. Thanks again for all the videos, keeps me motivated to study harder.

    Another interesting video, thanks! About new technologies such as AI and Quantum Cryptography, I am wondering, how do we get the hands-on experience if that's not part of our daily responsibilities? and with a limited budget?
  • @srivasala4080
    Love your teachings. I feel you as a mentor, even though you don't know me organically 😊. While the learning and courses are helpful to get up to speed, it only helps in the breadth. On the contrary if we want to go deep do we have any standard sources or is it up to our research and effort? For eg, if I want to go deep in xdr or security analytics. Or more sppecifically wrt IDAM, understand the challenges in access control solutions and how to identify and tailor a good solution in the midst of complex technologies, options and solutions and overcome making a spaghetti.

  • @thugwafflebro8062
    I’m conflicted on using resources on a degree related to this field. I’ve had IT pros say they wish they didn’t go.
  • @alielkholy4345
    Thanks Jeff for this video. But what is the difference between mention training in the video and certifications??. I believe that certification doing the same and provide the required training
  • @mr.incredible8080
    What is your opinion on whether becoming a network admin/engineer is a good career path for the next 5-10 years or not?
  • @carol-lo
    Totally agree AI can't completely replace human 😁
  • @alananalyst7795
    I need your inside please! I checked the course today and I found it to be very interesting! I think it's super interesting but I am now sure if I should consider this or Artificial Engineer or Data science career. Currently I am a data analyst so I have a solid experience with Python and Django. Do you think it's a right career choice for me? I am from poor family I want to make lots of money, what do you think? what would you do if you are 25 years old?
