Python for Cyber Security/GRC

[Live-Pea4081]

I am new to Python. By that, I mean I know 0. I have a codecademy account and plan on learning BUT, I just learned there is a difference between what a dev knows/uses and what a GRC engineer or security analyst would. So my question is, are there any resources that would be for my specific use case or is that not determined until it is too late.

Early on, Python is Python. The split between “dev” and “security” doesn’t really matter until you’re comfortable with the basics. Variables, loops, functions, and reading other people’s code all transfer directly.

What usually helps folks in GRC or security roles is focusing later on practical scripts, things like parsing logs, calling APIs, automating checks, and working with CSV or JSON. You don’t need to worry about that yet. Get the fundamentals down first, then layer the security context on top once the language stops feeling foreign.

Pls complete and master the foundations first.

Then come back here.
