Does this sound familiar?

Over the years, I’ve guided many aspiring cybersecurity professionals and technical career changers—and I keep hearing the same challenges:

  • You’re intrigued by cybersecurity but overwhelmed by the jargon, career options, and where to begin.

  • You’re unsure if you need a degree, certification, or boot camp—or which makes the most sense for your goals.

  • You’re worried about jumping in without a solid technical foundation and getting left behind.

  • You’ve heard about the high salaries and job demand, but you’re unsure what cybersecurity roles involve day-to-day.

  • You want to make a wise investment in your future—but don’t want to waste time or money on the wrong path.

If any of that feels familiar, you’re not alone—and there’s a smarter, clearer way forward.

Your Step-by-Step Plan to Break into Cybersecurity

Step 1: Know Before You Enroll Series

These are a collection of courses that cover what one needs to know before enrolling in ANY Cyber program.

These three short courses help you:

  • Explore cybersecurity roles and compare career options

  • Understand top industries, ethical considerations, and future trends

  • Learn what leadership, long-term growth, and salary advancement look like

This is the roadmap I wish every student had before spending thousands on a degree or bootcamp.

Step 2: Cybersecurity Prep Program (4-Course Series)

Build the technical foundation most people skip—and regret later.

  1. Computer Systems and Security Foundations – Learn how systems work and how to protect them

  2. Networking Essentials – Understand the internet, troubleshoot, and build secure networks

  3. Networking Protocols and Security Strategies – Dive into real security defense and routing strategies

  4. Python Scripting for Security – Learn to automate tasks and secure systems with code

This series gives you confidence that you need to get started with a degree program, a bootcamp, or a certification.
