如果無network 底,讀一讀CCNA打返好個底先
坊間好多CCNA 都係自己睇video, 個人覺得真人教好好多

如果有network 底其實可以直接讀CCIE, 即刻人工都唔同晒

剛畢業，似乎冇乜必要confine自己在某一個field.
搵到乜都可以試下， 反正攞經驗者

如果真係有興趣網絡方面看好考慮報 思科的試.
因為最少都到去到 ccnp 之後大公司先會念念.

it 係最廣泛行業, 因為所有行業都可以用到,
念下自己會係 it 入面邊行有興趣,
可以去試下做 support 先, 最多野睇的一類
有時間再自修一下其他的知識.

it 係一果入行之後要自己去再不斷進修的行業.

suggest you go for CCSP - Certified Cloud Security Professional which is only 3hr exam compared to CISSP's 6hr one which is more board. CCSP tips to the market of cloud computing as almost every solutions need Cloud elements and customers always asking security questions so getting a CCSP is a good starting point.

also avoid go to doing anything about Security Operations such as I&AM which is less value next to PC support.

is technical support engineer good enough to start with? is playing around AD linux mac ??and identity management

klmadios

Technical support probably not a good place to start. Try to start with a general software engineer la.

Certificates can get help you start. You need to build real experience. Attend some conferences and watch videos online can help you. Try to go outside Hong Kong. Black Hat has a conference in Singapore in March / April.

software engineer heavily link to programming isn't?

klmadios

Hackers are all excellent programmers la. If you want to be good at it then good programming skills is a must. Security is a specialized field but programming is basic ar.

UNIX is just an OS,  and , a UNIX system, just like a Windows System, covers a lot of different fields.
KERNEL, WM, WEBSERVERS, DB SERVERS, DNS, mail servers, etc. , each with its own specialty.

Programming skills refer to something like  C, C+,  Pearl Scripts ( which you would  already be familiar with ) , Ruby, etc.  Or, could be some high level programming stuff like  JAVA,  SQL,  HTML5. Of course if you are soecialized in Unix kernel, you would have acquired much programming skill in C.

Btw, I know someone who graduated from Imperial College,  got a job  in a fund company. Job is mainly writing Macros for Excels connecting to some bank database via ODBC. Does that count as programming skill? Yes, it certainly does.

The point is, even programming skills are very diversified.

CISSP and CCSP for sure

after reading your comment, i understand programming is damn important in the security field and i have hand-on experience of JAVA and SQL since i have complete in some andriod development project. The point is that as technical support engineer and i want my career path lead to the security field. So do you have any advice on the some kind of ideal career path if u dont mind suggesting. I personally have no clue on which professional cert i should go for and job i should aim for to explore more knowledge on the security field.
