👩🏾‍💻📌October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to start your journey into one of the fastest-growing fields! 💻✨

Not sure where to begin? Here’s your simple step-by-step guide:

📌Step 1: Take the free Google Cybersecurity Basics course – This course introduces you to the 8 key security domains, like network security, data protection, and incident response.

📌Step 3: Get hands-on – Use free platforms like TryHackMe & Hack The Box to practice real-world skills in your chosen area.

📌Step 4: Get certified – Start with CompTIA Security+ to show you’ve got foundational knowledge and understand the basics.
