When I first decided to get into cybersecurity, I thought the hard part would be learning the technical stuff. I was wrong.
The hardest part was figuring out what to learn, in what order and where to learn it from!
I would Google “cybersecurity roadmap” and end up with 10 different diagrams that didn’t match each other. I’d ask professionals in the field and each person gave me a completely different answer. YouTube had endless videos, but most were either too advanced, too basic or scattered all over the place.
I remember the frustration of feeling like I was wasting time, learning random bits here and there, but never feeling confident enough to say “I’m ready for an interview.”
And the truth? No single course or certification covers exactly what a beginner needs in the right sequence to get started and crack interviews.
So I decided to make the guide I wish someone had handed me on Day 1.
This guide gives you a clear, step-by-step path to learn exactly what’s needed to break into cybersecurity — whether you choose SOC, GRC, pentesting, threat intel, or any other role.
What’s inside:
✅ 100 essential cyber concepts every beginner must know
✅ 11 learning phases + bonus phase on cloud security — in the exact order to learn
✅ Sub-topic breakdowns so you know exactly what to study in each area
✅ Curated free resources for every phase — no more endless searching
✅ Beginner-friendly + interview-relevant so you’re prepared for fresher roles
For every concept, I’ve told you exactly what sub-topics to focus on.
For example: If I say “Learn Computer Networks,” I’ve listed what to learn in computer networks – “Networking Ports” and even in that I’ve told which ports to focus on.
Who this is for:
By the end, you’ll have:
This is the guide I wish I had when I was starting my journey. Now it’s in your hands!
