Cybersecurity is one of buzz-words promising the la-la land these days. Everyone is running towards it. However, it will help if one is aware of the 2 big risks.
A few months ago, I decided to learn a new language—not a programming language, but Japanese. After researching how I could learn it, one piece of advice I kept hearing was the big question of “why.” They said if you don’t have a strong why, you’ll never learn it. I thought a lot about my why, and it came to me: I wanted to talk to my friends in Japan. Not just that, but one day I will to visit and explore Japan. Now, from there, I want to drive my point. The reason I’m doing cybersecurity is because I have tried different fields, and the one thing I lacked when it came to those fields was the desire to work hard even when there is no motivation. This kind of drive I feel for this field—from offensive security to SOC and GRC—is surreal, and that’s my “why.” It keeps me going for weeks and months.

Great. You will need this drive when you hit a “wall”. And believe me, you will hit it.
Good to know that you liked it. Welcome to this journey. I hope you stay with me as we discuss things.
All the best 🙏
