Introduction to Cyber Security

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft.

Common areas include network security, application security, cloud security, data protection, ethical hacking/penetration testing, digital forensics, and incident response.

If you’re interested in learning cybersecurity, a typical path is: computer/networking basics → Linux → security fundamentals → hands-on labs → specialization such as ethical hacking, SOC/security analysis, or cloud security.
