What are the best skills an entry level employee can build to get into cloud security?

I’m really interested in cloud security and I have my CISSP and AWS Professional Certification. I have built several homelabs but I don’t have any client or real-world experience with cloud. I’ve also built DevSecOps pipelines for fun.

I know PwC cloud practice is completely saturated and searching for cloud sec. engineer entry level positions in industry. Any help is appreciated.

From your posting, you have the skills for an entry cloud security role. What you need to focus on now is networking to get a role. As a hiring manager, I can tell you entry-level roles are highly competitive at the moment. The sweet spot in the market at the moment is mid career, approximately 5 years of experience.

I would say that you have more than enough skills and interest. You really need to just get a role somewhere. I know that Accenture has a huge cyber security practice that is hiring in the North America market. Go search some of the job postings and you might find something.

How are you entry level if you have a CISSP?

Entry level because I have a lot of GRC/audit experience and some security tool implementation experience, but not a lot of client-facing cloud implementation experience.

So, I would be entry level in cloud security.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.

And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
