Are you a newcomer to Cybersecurity or Cloud ? Do not jump straight into the CISSP or CCSP certs ! These certifications are high in demand but made for those with significant experience in the field Focus on hands on skills over certs at this stage

You do not need tools to learn Threat Modeling .. It is a skill that you can get started with just a pen and paper The key step is to systematically thinking through potential threats to your systems. Effective threat modeling starts with understanding your environment.

Risk assessments are not just about filling in an Excel sheet Too often, I see risk assessments treated as a checkbox exercise Or something done to pass an internal or external audit Risk assessment is a key part of cybersecurity Do it properly or risk a compromise !

No AI can “read a room.” It cannot replace the human touch needed to communicate complex security issues to non-technical stakeholders. Being able to explain cybersecurity risks in a way that others can understand is a skill everyone should develop ASAP

AI augmented roles are the future of Cybersecurity Working with AI instead of being replaced by it Pure tech skills will go down in value The ability to make sense of AI generated insights will be in high demand !

Thinking "AI cannot replace Cybersecurity Analysts" is a mistake Yes AI makes mistakes . .but it is improving rapidly Soon it will become "good enough" Once that happens companies will start thinking about replacing analysts with AI buff.ly/3Az85Xk

AI will replace these Cybersecurity skills 1 - Security Code Review 2 - L1 SOC Analysts 3 - VA Scanning If you work simply involves scanning a system and emailing a PDF report .. you need to upskill / re-skill NOW
