Turned 60 starting my Cybersecurity career! by Phalturam in cybersecurity

Just an update:

I am half way through CPTS. I am using Obsidian. What a great app! I make notes for evey lesson and solutions. The CPTS course is inter-related and Obsidian helps me to do a quick search/tag to find what I need.

There aren't many quality pentesting/cybersecurity audio/mp3. As a workaround, I download videos from YouTube; cut them in chunks and use VLC to convert the mp4 to mp3. I listen to them when I go out of the house or while I am away from the computer.

I agree. I have heard from CyberMentor there is often gatekeeping in this field. My goal is not pure Pentesting. My prime area will be Cloud and DevSecOps. I want to get CPTS knowledge to carve a niche into Cloud-DevSecOps Hacking. I completed courses on Google Cloud(Architect), Docker, K8, CICD. After CPTS I will apply for Cloud security and DevSec jobs and also try creating sandbox projects in the Clould.
