From Zero to Cyber Security Professional in 6-18 Months

Yes and no.

There’s a lot of free information out there. You’ll find YouTube videos, Udemy courses, blog posts, and StackOverflow answers—all helping to develop your cyber security knowledge and skills.

But…

If you don’t know where to start…
Or how to gain practical experience and work experience…
Or you want a job guarantee?
Or if you don’t know what to learn for a particular career…
Or if you don’t know which skills are in demand…
Or if you don’t know what certificates to take…
Or how to find cyber security jobs…
Or how to get through the hiring process…

You’ll need to spend more than “free” to kickstart your new career path.
