This is the best time to upskill your cybersecurity skills

A few years ago, I was completely stuck.

I spent weeks trying to break into cybersecurity, surrounded by notes, unfinished books, and overwhelming job postings asking for skills and tools I didn’t have. 

Despite all my effort—endless tutorials, forums, and projects—I felt like I was spinning my wheels.

One night, I closed my laptop and realized the issue wasn’t a lack of effort. It was clarity.

I was trying to do everything instead of focusing on what really mattered: learning the skills employers actually want and preparing for interviews with purpose.

When I shifted my focus, everything changed:

🔑 I prioritized key skills.

🔑 Prepared for interviews with confidence.

🔑 And finally landed my first cybersecurity job.

Now, I want to help you do the same.
