AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A DAMN BOOTCAMP FOR CYBERSECURITY!
I’m saying this as someone with 20 years in networking, cybersecurity, and IT. RECAP: Watch the Video Below 👇👇👇 These programs are optimized for revenue, not outcomes. They’ll pitch you on 8 months of coursework followed by 6 months of “career advising,” but that’s 14 months of your life without real proof of your skills. Here’s what they won’t tell you: While you’re sitting through lectures, the market is moving. you’re paying $17,000 to be a spectator while others are on the field. And when you finally hit the job market, you’re competing with thousands of other grads with the same certs, the same bootcamp bullet points, and the same lack of tangible proof. Most companies receive 100 to 500 applications for every role. Of those: - 20% make it past the resume screen - 20% of those make it to phone screens - 20% of those make it to technical interviews - 20% of those get final interviews The vast majority never break through because they lack real-world experience and direct connections. They’re hoping a hiring manager takes a chance on their certificate, but hope is not a strategy. Here’s a real example, I took one of my students, @Aashesh Kumar , and handpicked 23 high-impact roles for him over 4 weeks. Here’s what happened: Multiple Technical assesments 4 phone screens (17% hit rate) 3 interviews (13% hit rate) 1 potential offer (4.3% overall success rate) the real difference is proof over paper! If you’re serious about breaking into cybersecurity: - Learn Networking, Cloud, and Automation and IT! - Build real-world projects, SOC tickets, firewall configs, vulnerability reports - Leverage your network, don’t just collect LinkedIn contacts, build real connections - Use recruiters who trust you Has anyone here attended a Bootcamp and what were the results? Do you think the ROI was worth it?

Cybersecurity Hiring Insights (2025) - Real Talk
Just finished diving deep into ISC²’s 2025 hiring study, Harvard & Burning Glass Institute’s skill-based hiring report, and Lightcast’s data on skill evolution. Here’s what’s actually happening out there: The cybersecurity talent gap is huge. Over 4 million jobs globally sit open. But here’s the real issue: companies aren’t finding qualified people. Why? Because job descriptions are still unrealistic. Entry-level roles asking for CISSPs and years of experience. Degrees still getting prioritized even though employers openly say certifications and hands-on experience are more valuable. The Burning Glass study shows that even companies claiming to use skills-based hiring rarely follow through. Only a tiny fraction—around 97,000 hires out of 77 million last year—actually hired based on real skills instead of degrees. Most organizations talk a big game but fall short. But the good news: the market’s shifting. Companies are finally prioritizing apprenticeships and internships. Real-world experience is starting to outrank degrees. Soft skills like problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking now matter as much as your tech chops. Lightcast data proves another point clearly: skills now evolve faster than ever. The skillset you have today is likely outdated in under three years. That’s how fast cybersecurity roles change. This explains why employers want adaptability more than static degrees. Questions for you all: - What skills do you think cybersecurity beginners overlook most often? - If you’re hiring, what makes you take someone seriously if they don’t have a degree? - How can training programs better adapt to the speed of cybersecurity changes?

NEW Virtual SOC & Training Resources - CCNA/CISSP/CISM/Security +
Happy Friday Everyone! I'm happy to announce that I've finally finished our Virtual SOC Access and Labs for training Intelligence analysts, SOC & networking skills! Below is the architecture. It includes SPLUNK for DFIR - TENABLE for EDR - EVE-NG instances to study for Network+, CCNA, CCNP. Percipio for Digital Badges/Studying. The lab connects to a honeypot where I also provide access to my training resources and personal mentorship and my recruiter network to help land interviews quickly!
