How Bootcamp Grads Can Break Into Cybersecurity
from The Career Change Podcast with Fexingo: Switching Fields, Bootcamps, and Reskilling · host Fexingo
Episode 40 tackles how coding bootcamp graduates can pivot into cybersecurity, a field that's booming but notoriously opaque about entry points. Lucas and Luna break down the specific roles that don't require a security background—think vulnerability triage, GRC analysis, and security operations center (SOC) work. They walk through the key certifications (Security+, CySA+), the importance of building a home lab with tools like Wireshark and Kali Linux, and how to frame bootcamp projects through a security lens. The hosts also discuss the surprising value of bug bounty programs and open-source security tools for building a portfolio. Real talk: not every bootcamp grad needs to be a software engineer, and this episode maps a clear path into one of the highest-demand fields in tech. #Cybersecurity #BootcampGrads #CareerPivot #Careers #Cybersecurity #SkillUp #TechJobs #SOC #CompTIA #SecurityPlus #HomeLab #BugBounty #GRC #Wireshark #KaliLinux #SecurityAnalyst #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
