It's possible,  the mod here, is one great example. He was a teacher a few years ago and did a career change, studied hard, and now he is excelling in the networking field.

welcome aboard.

And now, 8 years later, I'm working on my CISSP. :)

It can be done!

Greetings and salutations. My name's John. I'm a CCNA in New York City. I've been a network engineer for about fifteen years. I'm currently preparing to renew my CCNA with the updated exam topics. I'm feeling confident about it so within the next month or two I plan on attempting the exam. After that my goal is to go for the CCNP/CCIE Enterprise certification. I don't know if I'll stop there though. I have an interest in getting security certs and possibly the CCDE. I've also considered the CCIE Service Provider cert. I'm intrigued by those monstrous routing tables a SP engineer must see on a daily basis.

Besides computers, I'm interested in writing, books, science, history, genealogy, exploring, the occult and supernatural, baseball, films, and music.

Hello CiscoWizard, glad to have you here. Is this the R&S CCNA renewal you're doing?

Yes. I'm pretty much all set to take it. I just need to book the appointment.

Hello, my name is Thomas and I'm a Linuxoholic...

Seriously, I'm following a PhD in antenna numerical simulation and loved to write scripts to send the code, compile, run the program, and fetch the traces on the super-calculator. This is how I stepped into the Sysadmin world.

Little by little, I enjoyed working with Linux more than the topic of my studies and started to follow moocs and courses over the Internet. The thesis is almost done now and I'm looking for a job in the IT field.

And I'm from Nice in southern France (350 sunny days a year, and 15.25 days of Biblical downpour...)

Hello all - quick introduction.

I'm a new member living up near Vancouver BC. I have an IT background but mainly as a Linux administrator. I have a solid understanding of networking but am far from an expert.

Looking forward to reading through some of the posts and learning.

Hi everyone !  :)

Young french guy, 25 years old, with 2 years of experience in a company in the field of network/system & security. I would like to improve my skills in cybersecurity in the future. No certifications to pass yet but I intend to! I am mainly working on Palo Alto, F5 LTM/APM, Stormshield technologies, I am also administrator of a Wallix Bastion solution. Don't hesitate if you need help, I hope to be able to help as much as possible here and find some too :)

Sincerely,

deanwebb

Hello and welcome to the forums. I've been doing cybersecurity for the last 9 years, going on 10, and there's a lot to do in the field.

If you want to do more with security, I STRONGLY advise that you look into cloud technologies. Not just AWS/Azure/Google Cloud, but also Netskope/Zscaler solutions. Visibility tools are also very important, so if you get a chance to work with Armis/Forescout/Nozomi, jump on it.

And if you can do Operational Technology (OT) security, you will have the world knocking on your door. I have seen it happen and been part of the world knocking on the OT specialist's door. :D
