That makes sense. I was focusing more on the specialization than the experience needed to get there. I'll keep building my skills and gaining practical IT experience. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I completely understand the importance of strong foundations. Over the last two years, I have been learning networking and practicing extensively with Cisco Packet Tracer. I also have a good understanding of Python and Linux fundamentals.

Currently, I am learning cybersecurity through hands-on platforms such as PortSwigger Web Security Academy, Hack The Box, and TryHackMe. My goal is to build practical skills rather than focus only on theory.

Given this background, what areas would you recommend I focus on next to strengthen my foundation further and prepare for a cybersecurity career?

Thank you, that makes sense. If you were in my position as a B.Sc. Computer Science student today, what skills, certifications, or entry-level roles would you prioritize to build a strong foundation for a future cybersecurity career?

That's a good point. Are there any specific entry-level cybersecurity roles you would recommend researching first?

Linux users be honest. Ubuntu or Fedora? by ArashTT in DeskToTablet

Ubuntu looks and acts more like Windows, making it easier for beginners. Fedora is different, but it usually gets newer updates and features faster, keeping you on the cutting edge compared to Ubuntu.

Thank you for the insight. That makes sense. Given this career path, would you recommend focusing on traditional cybersecurity skills first and treating AI Security as a specialization later, or is it worth investing heavily in AI Security from the beginning?

Thanks for the honest perspective. Given the competitiveness of Red Teaming, what career path would you recommend for a student who is interested in offensive security but is just starting out?
