Are you interested in choosing Information Security, hacking and penetration as your career?
Cyber Security is probably one of the most well paid and high demand categories on job market these days. More and more companies realize the need for having dedicated information security resources every day. Data leakages, Privacy issues, Ransomeware attacks, Phishing attacks and a lot more are the reasons that all organizations need to think about having a strong and solid Cyber Security platform.
Yahoo and Google data breaches shows even large companies are not doing this right yet. Ashley Madison hack, shows how companies can easily loose money and customers if they don't have the proper security controls. And this continues.
Where to start as newbie?
I am going to be honest with you, being a good Cyber security engineer is not an easy task. You will need to go through a path of expanding your initial knowledge about IT, Applications and Networks. As a newbie the best I could suggest is to get yourself familiar with the concept of TCP/IP and networking. That would help a lot in terms of understanding how the security controls are working.
What next after knowing networking and TCP/IP?
The next step is to learn about Information Security, requirements and controls. This is my personal view but hacking skills is essential to be a good Cyber Security engineer. That will give you a very good understanding about vulnerabilities and mitigation controls, as well as how to read logs, review security monitoring controls and analyze the findings.

I have been working on a multiple resources from ethical hacking to security controls and architecture. Recently, I decided to offer all those as a package. That would be great to those who would like to start learning about information security as well those who would like to be a security engineer, penetration tester or even for students who are eager to learn more about security.
