Welcome!
You got this. You can do this. Eat the elephant one bite at a time. Enjoy the journey!
Anyone who is willing to dedicate enough time to the journey can get into Information Security.
Originally a github document was created that laid out the five pillars, or functional areas, of Cyber Security. It gained a lot of attention. There was even a podcast about it. It was obvious there was a hunger for this sort of information. It was part of the inspiration for this site. Lets get you started!
The place to start is with the whole document:
The 5 Pillars of Information Security
I was asked to write a paper in 2017 to help some DoD assets get a jump start on InfoSec proficiency. I took the 5 pillars and aligned a lot of resources to them. In 2019 I open sourced it to help the community and those interested in getting into the industry.
If you wish to view a specific pillar you can do so with the links below:
Enjoy the journey! Have fun and pace yourself in a healthy manner.
