Hi everyone! 👋

I’m jonshah, a beginner in the tech world, and I’ve recently become really interested in cybersecurity. The idea of protecting data, understanding threats, and learning how systems stay secure really fascinates me.

Right now, I’m just starting to explore the basics — like learning about firewalls, strong passwords, phishing, and ethical hacking. I’d love to hear from others in this community:

  • What’s the best way to start learning cybersecurity as a total beginner?

  • Are there any free or beginner-friendly platforms/courses you recommend?

  • What kind of hands-on projects or practice labs helped you the most?

I’m excited to learn from you all and grow in this field. Thanks in advance for your support!

Hello ​@jonshah 

 

Just go through the old threads as this is a Support Forum for Webroot Products it’s not really a forum for what your looking for maybe Wilders Security or Bleeping Computers Forum is more into Cyber Security in general.
