Could someone recommend courses to take for a cybersecurity pathway? I am currently learning Python3 and working on my Security + certification. I am heading towards Penetration testing.
Any recommendations or experiences of starting their first Cybersecurity careers are also appreciated.
I’m new to this forum too, and it’s great to see others on a similar journey. I’m also diving into cybersecurity and aiming for a career in penetration testing. It’s awesome that you’re already on Python3 and working towards your Security+ certification – both are excellent steps.
For a cybersecurity path focused on penetration testing, consider courses like Ethical Hacking from EC-Council, Penetration Testing with Kali Linux from Offensive Security, Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation from eLearnSecurity, and Hands-on Network Penetration Testing from the SANS Institute. These courses will give you the practical skills essential for a career in penetration testing. Additionally, seek out mentors, join online communities, and participate in CTFs to gain practical experience and network with experts in the field.
