Damn by starting the video off immediately with the answer, it actually had the opposite effect and I watched the entire video. You gave the answer to the title and that hooks the watcher because they immediately get a sense of a genuine want to share knowledge. Thanks for the video, friend. Respect.
a true hero, answers the clickbait within the first 1 second of a video, saved me 5 minutes of life
For me personally it was cyber security that raised sufficient interest in me to learn the fundamentals, which I previously had very little interest in learning.
100% on learning computing basics / fundamentals. However many grads and people interested in Cyber Security refuse to learn this and want to go straight into pen testing. As someone who tries to hire juniors, the amount of people not willing to put in the hardwork is mind blowing....

I 100% agree. That’s how I’ve gotten my career started; first in IT and then onto cybersecurity. It’s very tempting to want to jump straight to pwning machines. But a strong foundation of knowledge is critical when dealing with technology.
I’ve been in help desk support for years. It’s time for a change. Security has always interested me. Thanks for the video.
I got my Masters in Cyber Security and am now getting ready for the CompTIA Security+ cert. You definitely need to know how stuff works before learning how to secure it. Cybrary is a great resource for both IT Security and fundamentals as well.
In my opinion, I think the very best in Cyber security have been practising (sometimes without even knowing) from a very young age. Breaking computers, programming, building networks, servers and software. You can always learn the tools, but understanding how the tools work is also very important.
I'm currently studying CS But I decided to get myself Google IT certificate after I will do Comtia A+. I am doing those to secure a job as an IT desk at a local wifi company. After my CS degree, I will be having basic experience.
I'm an IT grad but after 5 years, I still have no experience in the field because I went to switch my career to art and game illustrations. Now I'm wanting to switch back to the IT field because I'm unsure about my future in art. I want to have a job in Cybersecurity. This video helped me where to start over again in fundamentals. Thanks!
As a current junior web developer my interest in cybersecurity as only been growing and growing! This tools and information that you share are awesome for a guy like me who is just starting and want to learn a bit more before commiting to a completly new carrer path. Thank you very much!!! 🙏
Thanks for this vid. I’ve spent so much time watching 20-30 mon vids on where to start as someone with no experience and I’ve gotten no clear answers till now! best 5 mins of my life thank you for being so straightforward in this vid!
Infosec has given me a very broad understanding of a lot of topics in the IT field. I work with everything from front end JavaScript to assembly language.
I started my journey on IT basic fundamentals (hardware and software) since I was in Junior high school way back 2016 but due to financial problems and lack of resources like laptop or pc, I unfortunately stop learning IT fundamentals. It was my dream to be computer literate and gain a lot of knowledge all throughout cyberspace. Currently, I am studying Bachelor of science in Criminology and I hope to regain my knowledge in IT Fundamentals and pursue my dreams even though I still don't have any resources and need to start from scratch 😊
Currently I’m following a cybersecurity course without any IT background. And to be honest and thanks to my concentration and notes I know what commands I need to use. But the point is, that i don’t know why I use now this and why it responds like this. Anyway I just want to say that I’m totally agree with you.
@2:50 agree 110%!!! about knowing what and why your securing and how it works.
I'm just getting in IT, only have few months experience as PC Technician 6 years ago, total of 1 year experience as helpdesk 12 years ago, have been studying network my own and at school (also my humble personal lab with only a switch, a KVM, one desktop PC and 2 laptops), I have good personal experience as a frontend developer as well. I studied the whole course to take the A+ exam, but I'm not taking the exam cause it's too expensive. Anyway, I just got hired to work as Data Center Technician for Amazon, start next Monday. They'll give me around 6 weeks training and it sounds like a great start. I really hope this is just the beginning of my IT career. I'm extremely happy and would like to thank you for the content and your effort you put in here, it helped a lot. I'm expected to get a good network and server experience in order to get into cyber security. PS. I'll take the Net+ and Sec+ for sure (and maybe the CCNA before going to PNPT and eJPT).
This was incredibly helpful, been trying to start a new career path as a paralegal with no background and wasn’t sure what would be considered the fundamentals, thank you!
