What is this mentoring about?

A practical, beginner-friendly guide to cybersecurity — taught by someone who's been doing it professionally for 13+ years at companies like Nokia.

No jargon overload. No assumptions. Just clear, real-world knowledge to help you build a strong foundation.

What you'll learn:

Introduction to Cybersecurity
Key Terminologies in Cybersecurity
Infrastructure Security
Different Types of Tools in Infrastructure Security (EDR, SIEM, IAM, etc.)
Cloud Security
Usage of AI Agents in Cybersecurity (Basics)
Future of Cybersecurity in the AI Era

Who is this for?

CS/IT students exploring cybersecurity as a career
Beginners with little to no security background
IT folks who want to shift into security
Anyone who Googled "how to get into cybersecurity" and didn't know where to start

What this is NOT:

This program sticks to fundamentals and infrastructure security. It does not cover red teaming, malware analysis, forensics, or application security — those are advanced topics for a later stage.

Think of it this way — if cybersecurity is a building, this mentoring helps you understand the foundation before you pick which floor you want to work on.
