00:00
yeah i would just suggest the it
00:01
fundamentals that's what you should
00:02
learn all right so if you're an
00:04
individual who wants to get started in
00:06
the it or cyber security industry and
00:09
you're wondering where should i start or
00:10
what should i learn before in today's
00:12
video topic i will be addressing my
00:14
personal opinion on what you should
00:16
learn why you should learn what you
00:17
should learn and where you should learn
00:22
[Music]
00:25
alright so by now you should know it's
00:27
the ic fundamentals that's what i think
00:29
you should learn you can go ahead and
00:30
click off this video but if you want a
00:32
little bit more detail you can continue
00:34
on what exactly are the it fundamentals
00:36
well in my opinion they outline a few
00:39
different surrounding categories
00:41
including hardware which are the
00:43
physical parts of a computer and
00:44
computing devices you have the software
00:47
which is a suite of tools and data which
00:49
you know tell the computer how to work
00:50
including operating systems software
00:53
applications and more so think about
00:54
like a windows 10 or linux then you have
00:57
networking which is the exchange and
01:00
transportation of data between computing
01:03
devices so understanding how that works
01:05
applications which is computer software
01:07
or programs used to carry out specific
01:10
tasks you know such as word processing
01:12
or editing or email clients and then you
01:15
have the security basics my favorite
01:17
right understanding the added elements
01:19
on top of the listed uh elements or
01:21
categories that i just
01:23
outlined now i personally believe if you
01:26
started from the very beginning you're
01:27
going to set yourself up for a better
01:29
success and i'll tell you that reason in
01:31
a moment now while learning the it
01:33
fundamentals it's important to keep in
01:34
mind some essential concepts and skills
01:37
required within the it industry and this
01:40
includes skills such as configuring and
01:42
troubleshooting
01:44
[Music]
01:47
just like anything that you learn in
01:49
school you gotta first understand the
01:51
basics of course you could just throw
01:53
yourself deep into the woods and have no
01:54
idea what's going on and maybe yes you
01:56
could complete the problem but let's
01:59
just say you want to complete some
02:01
complex math equation well you have to
02:04
know the basics of the symbols
02:06
subtraction addition such as this nice
02:08
complex math equation i think you
02:12
i don't know how to do this
02:14
you know those or if you want to get a
02:16
little spicy and you want to mix some
02:18
elements together you got to know the
02:20
periodic table i think i don't really
02:22
know i'm not a chemistry major well the
02:24
same goes for it in my opinion you get
02:26
the point now sure you could provision a
02:28
kali linux vm and you could use john
02:30
ripper and start cracking those facebook
02:32
passwords don't actually do that or you
02:35
know you can throw yourself deep into
02:36
the woods of a project and sometimes
02:38
that method works but the question
02:40
becomes if you have no technological or
02:43
any i.t skills background how do you
02:46
know you know what to secure in the
02:48
context of cyber security if you don't
02:50
even know how the technology tool
02:52
principle concept works right if you
02:55
can't understand what a layer 2 switch
02:57
does from you know a high level overview
02:59
how do you know you're going to need to
03:01
apply port security you know in the
03:03
context of a layer 2 switch well you
03:06
won't know because you don't know how a
03:07
layer 2 switch works in the high level
03:09
and that's why i suggest the it
03:11
fundamentals it's great way to get the
03:13
basics down you can build those
03:15
foundational skills and then you can
03:17
throw yourself into the woods of you
03:19
know kali linux if you want to
03:22
[Music]
03:24
there are hundreds of resources out
03:25
there both free and affordable alright
03:28
one moment of self promo you can skip to
03:29
this time stamp if you don't care about
03:31
this but there are free courses i have
03:33
out there one is on udemy it's a
03:35
complete introduction to cyber security
03:37
right so this is going to be a very high
03:39
level overview of cyber security in i.t
03:41
and we address some of the very basics
03:44
such as
03:45
hardware and networking devices so why
03:48
not just give away the course for free
03:49
if you're watching this in the next
03:51
three days of this upload you can go
03:53
sign up for it
03:54
for free but i do also have another
03:56
course it's more of a very much so
03:58
practical hands-on course that i had
04:00
released last year and i added some a
04:03
few updates to it this is a great course
04:06
to get started and now enough for the
04:08
cell promo all right so some platforms
04:10
include free code cam they have a plenty
04:12
of crash courses out there udemy has
04:15
plenty of basic it courses you have
04:18
plenty of youtube crash courses i'll
04:20
leave some that i think are noteworthy
04:23
including ones that are released from
04:25
google itself which is a great way to
04:27
start a humble bundle which is a book
04:29
provider in the form of ebooks that you
04:32
can see and find if there are any
04:34
bundles out there one more thing to note
04:36
and that is three is a great place to
04:38
start with my beginners course it's a
04:40
lot of theory not so much practical or
04:42
hands-on you gotta get started with
04:44
understanding the concepts
04:46
but
04:47
one thing to note is to have a hands-on
04:49
practical approach once you've maybe
04:51
started some of those basics i have a
04:53
resources page with a complete list of
04:56
projects you can just check out it's all
04:58
free you don't have to worry about
04:59
paying
05:00
and you can just look at the different
05:02
resources project ideas and how to go
05:04
about solving those projects on that
05:07
website this video has been short i hope
05:08
it's been useful and helpful i did this
05:11
video a few years ago and i thought i
05:13
would go ahead and provide an update for
05:14
2021 so i hope everything is well and
05:18
until the next video have a good day
