how to be a professional cybersecurity in 4 steps "ethical hacker" _ YouNux404

Today we will talk about information security

 Or the right way to follow in order to reach a professional level in IT security

let's go...

What is information security?

It is the protection of information and data circulating on the Internet from tampering, sabotage, and alteration, or from any threat to it such as the arrival of any person who is not authorized to access it and tampering with its data and access to it, by providing the means and methods necessary to protect it from internal and external risks, and the issue of information security is an old topic, However, the need and demand for it increased with the widespread use of the Internet and dependence on it in all areas of life, which required the transfer of data and information across multiple networks, and the spread of social networks allowed the urgent need for that.

I will not talk long about information security, but on the right path to study it and become an information security professional.

To start, you must set a target and a period of time
Our target is CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional
Our period of time: five years or two years if you can 

firstly 

you must start learning

•  CompTIA  A+: professionals are proven, problem solvers. They support today’s core technologies from security to cloud to data management and more. CompTIA A+ is the industry standard for launching IT careers into today’s digital world.

• CompTIA NETWORK+: helps develop a career in IT infrastructure covering troubleshooting, configuring, and managing networks.

•  CompTIA SECURITY+: is a global certification that validates the baseline skills you need to perform core security functions and pursue an IT security career

•  CompTIA LINUX+: validates the competencies required of an early career system administrator supporting Linux systems.

and you must learn programming languages with CompTIA

•  PYTHON: Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Wikipedia

and

• Basic SQL: SQL is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system, or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system. Wikipedia

secondly

you must learn

• CCNA: is an information technology certification from Cisco Systems. CCNA certification is an associate-level Cisco Career certification. The Cisco exams have changed several times in response to the changing IT trends. Wikipedia

• CCNA SECURITY: Security validates knowledge of security infrastructure, threats, and vulnerabilities to networks and threat mitigation. Required skills include installation, troubleshooting, and monitoring of network devices to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and devices.  Wikipedia

and you must study the operation systems

thirdly

• CEH: s a qualification obtained by demonstrating knowledge of assessing the security of computer systems by looking for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems, using the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but in a lawful and legitimate manner to assess the security posture of a target system. Wikipedia

and you must learn

• LPT: is the designation of a parallel port interface on some computer systems. Wikipedia

finally 

• CISSP: is our target ...

The CISSP curriculum covers subject matter in a variety of Information Security topics.[8] The CISSP examination is based on what (ISC)² terms the Common Body of Knowledge (or CBK). According to (ISC)², "the CISSP CBK is a taxonomy – a collection of topics relevant to information security professionals around the world. The CISSP CBK establishes a common framework of information security terms and principles that allow information security professionals worldwide to discuss, debate, and resolve matters pertaining to the profession with a common understanding.

From 15 April 2018, the CISSP curriculum is updated as follows:

Security and Risk Management
Asset Security
Security Architecture and Engineering
Communication and Network Security
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Security Assessment and Testing
Security Operations
Software Development Security
From 2015 to early 2018, the CISSP curriculum is divided into eight domains similar to the latest curriculum above. The only domain to have changed its name was "Security Engineering," which in the 2018 revision was expanded to "Security Architecture and Engineering.

Before 2015, it covered ten similar domains. Wikipedia
