How to start a career in cybersecurity
Cybersecurity needs strong basics. Do not jump straight into advanced tools.
- Learn networking basics, operating systems and Linux.
- Study security fundamentals: encryption, authentication and common web vulnerabilities.
- Practise legally on platforms built for learning, such as capture the flag challenges.
- Consider entry level certifications after you understand the basics.
- Only test systems that you own or have written permission to test.
Unauthorised testing is a crime, even if you mean no harm.
