From the Author

Iam so used to hear questions like:
“Howcan I start my career in Cyber Security? ”
“Howcan I switch to Cyber?”
“Whatare your recommendations for us to be successful?”

Ifnot every day at least a few times every week, I come across such questions,regardless of whether I am in Australia, Asia, Africa, America or you name it.This coerced me to write blogs about it on various platforms such as LinkedInand ErdalOzkaya.com yet, it was not detailed enough to help thebeginners or career switchers to get started.

Finally,while I was delivering a Cybersecurity workshop in India for a group of ITExperts, I received similar questions, related to how they can be experts inCyber & AI. I have noticed it was time to do something. My dear friendDeepayan (who wrote his recommendations in the Experts part) was also an instructor in the same workshop,and he shared with me his experience on the same topic.
