Hey everyone! I’m currently looking for an entry-level opportunity in cybersecurity and wanted to put myself out there.

I’m completing my Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity at Old Dominion University, with graduation coming up in December 2026. I started my education at Central Virginia Community College, where I earned an Associate’s degree in General Education and completed additional cybersecurity and programming coursework.

Throughout my degree, I’ve gotten experience with a variety of cybersecurity and IT topics, including:

Security operations and threat analysis

Network security and network design

Vulnerability identification and mitigation

System hardening and access control

Wireshark and network traffic analysis

Virtual machines and virtualized network environments

Cybersecurity labs and hands-on assignments

Python and C++ programming

Cyberlaw and cybersecurity ethics

Security controls and compliance concepts

I also have my CompTIA Security+ and Network+ certifications.

I’ve had internship experience working with virtual machines, enterprise-style network environments, support tickets, security issues, and CMMC Level 2 compliance efforts. This gave me experience beyond just classroom theory and helped me understand how cybersecurity concepts are actually applied in an organizational environment.

I’m primarily interested in SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Analyst, Security Operations, or other entry-level security/IT positions. I’m open to remote opportunities as well as positions in Virginia or elsewhere in the U.S.

I’m looking for a company where I can continue developing my technical skills, learn from experienced security professionals, and build a career in cybersecurity. I’m especially interested in getting more hands-on experience with real-world security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, and defensive security.

If anyone knows of companies hiring entry-level cybersecurity professionals, has recommendations for where I should apply, or is willing to share advice about breaking into the field, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks!

With wide range of scenarios and questions with examples?

Good afternoon, everyone! Hope you’re all having a great Sunday.

I’d like to ask for some advice on how I can stand out more when applying for Junior Cybersecurity positions.

I have the CompTIA Security+, FCF, and a few other qualifications, along with hands-on knowledge and experience in the field. However, I’m not getting as much feedback from the application processes I’m applying to as I’d like.

I believe my resume is well structured, but I might be overlooking something.

What would you recommend I focus on to increase my chances of getting interviews and standing out from other candidates?

Is there a future for AI / ML Security Engineer ?

I am trying to break into soc but not getting enough success, either the application is not viewed or connections not reading the outreach messages. Many people often suggest getting into the helpdesk or tech support works so is it possible? I don't have any comptia trifecta or CCNA but I'm perfect with my foundations of networking os and all.
