I guess I haven’t clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

There are certainly good -courses- that can supplement a strong IT foundation and existing experience and credentials. Especially on targeted topics. But if it sounds too good to be true it is. You’re not landing a SOC job on a 6 month bootcamp, these days.

@hacks4pancakes

Are *any* "boot camps" legit these days?

@tarheel I cannot speak to other fields.
