How I’d Learn Cybersecurity in 2025 (If I Were Starting Over)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If I were starting my cybersecurity career from scratch in 2025, this is exactly what I’d do. No fluff, no unnecessary certs, and no wasted time. Too many professionals are burning out chasing certs or bootcamps without real clarity. In this episode, I share my complete 6-step cybersecurity roadmap, the one I’d follow if I had to start all over again.
Whether you’re transitioning into cybersecurity or trying to accelerate your growth, this roadmap is built on real-world experience, not outdated advice. I went from a non-hacking tech role to becoming a CISO in just four years and today, I help professionals do the same.
