To Be a Whiz In Cybersecurity, Where Do I Start? by OMEGA009(m): 3:57pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
Hi, I'm a graduate of Biochemistry and fortunately, I got recruited into a Government Parastatal that deals with Cybercrimes. Unfortunately, we have little to zero training on the course and our handlers are always advising us to upgrade ourselves as the Govt isn't willing to do jack squat. Pls I'd like to know what courses I can do on Cybersecurity (from scratch to Guru level). Alotta sites advice A+, N+ and Security+ but some older colleagues say I should just jump into CCNA as it covers A+ and N+. Pls I'm confused as I don't want to spend my lean resources on a wild goose chase while trying to better myself. Pls Help!!!!!! 1 Like |

Learn a scripting language, python preferably. I'm presently taking a course on udemy; introduction to ethical hacking (I payed for it). Networking basics are essential. Get books online, I have some I'm currently using and they are great. Also, create a safe environment, like an intranet, or just some hot-spot and connect pc's and try codes out. The fastest way to learn is learning on the job. Good luck |

I would advice you buy books that focuses on cyber security it's a broad field which I myself am also studying I have myself three years to be fully grounded in cyber security knowing all there is to know and applying it in the applications I made, make and will make going forward from steganography to hashing and salting to encryption and all others it's too much work couple with the fact am still a student but am determined to be good in these areas cos I realize it would be an added advantage for me and also a make me stand out in these era of web and software developers who are flooding the Nigerian ict spectrum Best regards |

josseannge: Stop this shit. Stop deceiving people. You can't teach someone any programming course or cybersecurity course within a week and make the person a pro. Even a month isn't enough 4 Likes |

josseannge: Nope this isn't what he needs now. First for he needa to understand fundamental starting from networking and how computer works before thinking of hacking them. My dear you can start from Netowork plus and then Security plus to understand network and security fundamentals before CEH and co. 1 Like |

OMEGA009: Just like you I'm a graduate of Biochemistry, did MSc in Forensic science, went back to for a Bsc in Digital forensic and Cybersecurity. Wanted to go straight to Masters in Cybersecurity but I figured that the I want to be grounded in this with fundamentals hence another Bsc. I suggest you start from Network plus and then security plus and go from there. Good luck. 1 Like 2 Shares |

I want to know the answer to the same question. I am looking for courses on cybersecurity because after reading some blogs' articles, like this one "Mobile Device Security" I got so interested in this whole approach. Like how does cybersecurity work and what can a man do to secure their data. And also I think that cybersecurity specialists make a lot of money when they work for a well-known company, for example, google. |

That's a pretty interesting question that I'm happy to answer. Any good cybersecurity professional knows how to study a company's security system from a holistic perspective, including threat modeling, specifications, implementation, testing and vulnerability assessment . They also understand security issues related to operating systems, networks and virtualization software. The best way to learn something in this area is to learn from other companies and professionals. For example, you can take the red team testing service and they will show you, using the example of your own system or company, how to provide maximum security for this or that file (and not only file) system. 1 Like |
