    Good morning Optus

    • kungfuman on 10/08/2023 - 12:00

      I am pretty sure IT wasn't the issue from IT source's I know at optus the issue was the CEO and band of idiots, in uper management not spending the money for security upgrades.

    Thanks OP. Might be worth noting in the comments that the certification costs $125 USD.
    Looks like they have a heap of free training over a broad range of I.T. subjects and often available in multiple languages - can anyone comment as to the quality?

        Agreed, cisco is fantastic

      Cisco is the industry standard. A certificate from Cisco is worth more than an equivalent certificate from a university, as far as employers are concerned.

      Edit: Juniper does free equivalent certificates. These are good if you can't afford Cisco.

      • Wonderfool on 10/08/2023 - 10:19

        I'm a level 1 help desk boy, thinking of doing the ccna. Would that be the right way to go?

        I'm more interested in the data field but I have no formal education except for a cert 4, so I figured I'll go for a traditional path.

        • besttraveltech on 10/08/2023 - 10:24

          Yep, you need the CCNA first to progress on to almost all of the other certificates.

          If you want to dip your toes, like I said, Juniper has their free equivalent (JCNA).

        • Julzx on 10/08/2023 - 10:46

          If you want to go down pure networking path then start with CCNA. This will teach you foundation of Routing and Switching.

          If you want to go down networking and programming path then consider Cisco DevNet associate. This will teach you a bit of networking but it will also teach you about programming including working with applications, APIs, data models and automation.

          Both these certificates are entry level. You will have good foundation but it takes a lot more study to become full fledged network engineer.

        You're right about that. I used my Cisco certs to get me into the Uni courses I wanted over my ATAR. It held more weight according to them.

    Is this a great start for someone thats interested in changing careers and looking for roles within this field?

  • OzBerghainer on 10/08/2023 - 10:11

    How technical is this course from a scale of 1-10?

    • DontNeedThis on 10/08/2023 - 10:58

      You need to clarify your scale. 1 being someone who doesn't know what a keyboard is? Or someone who has a rudimentary knowledge of cyber security?

      • OzBerghainer on 10/08/2023 - 11:03

        1 being a high level scope of Cyber Sec in general and 10 being computer-science oriented technical knowledge of systems

        • DontNeedThis on 10/08/2023 - 11:38

          I'd say this course is 3 or 4 then.

    Wondering if there's going to be an oversaturation in this space, the shortage in Cyber was talked about back in 2016? Everyone's a non-technical Cyber professional these days…

    • besttraveltech on 10/08/2023 - 10:28

      I don't think it will be an oversaturation, I think it will become an expected skill for a large amount of people.

      In the 1950's, "typist" alone was a profession…

      • tm001 on 10/08/2023 - 11:57

        Typing is a mechanical skill. Even MS Word is something you can acquire reasonably quickly.
        Cybersecurity is more like a trade. You need to have deep knowledge and understanding of the threats, risks, systems,…
        Yes, everyone could be expected to be cybersecurity savvy, but not to be a cybersecurity professional/expert.

        • besttraveltech on 10/08/2023 - 12:16
          +1

          I disagree.

          Yes, there will be experts for a while as cybersecurity is everchanging, but the current entry-level cyber security professional's performance will soon be the norm. No, I don't expect everyone to know the ins-and-outs of our current level of cybersecurity because a lot of those skills will become redundant.

          If you don't like my typist analogy, a better one may be taxi-driver. Previously, it would take years for a taxi-driver to become proficient. Not just because of the mechanical skill of driving their car, but the knowledge of all the streets of a whole city AND how the traffic flows through them at different times. It was an immense amount of knowledge. Now we have Uber drivers.

          Do Uber drivers have the skill of remembering all the streets of a city? No.

          Do Uber drivers have the skill of being a taxi driver in 2023? Yes.

          That's what I'm saying.

    • Julzx on 10/08/2023 - 10:51

      Cyber security is still growing, companies still haven't caught up, as evident with constant breaches.

      You will also have multiple types of Cyber security engineering roles focusing on different technology. One Cybersecurity engineer cannot cover all domains. Same as having different types of software engineer depending on the application/platform.

    For those interested, the exam is $125USD (~$190AUD) and takes around an hour, should you choose to take it afterwards.

  • d4zz4 on 10/08/2023 - 10:55

    Anyone know if this can count towards the Cisco Continuing education to renew CCNP etc?

  • UncommonName on 10/08/2023 - 11:51

    Anyone from any country can enroll in this course?
