Career Path Description


Get everything you need to start your cybersecurity career journey, and stop wasting your time
(and money) sorting through unreliable information from questionable sources. While this industry
offers very lucrative career opportunities, finding accurate, relevant information to break into the
field can be incredibly frustrating. That’s why we’ve crafted this IT and Cybersecurity Foundations
path, featuring thoughtful, bite-sized content from expert instructors covering core concepts found
across all cybersecurity roles. These instructors have helped thousands of other beginners grasp
essential IT and cybersecurity topics. Get ready to take your first steps into cybersecurity by
diving into core concepts needed for any cybersecurity role. Build practical skills and gain
confidence as you begin your cybersecurity journey.

Career Path Expectations and Goals


We have found the learners who are most successful in the program spend at least 30 minutes on
learning a day. Your time is extremely valuable, so if there is a concept you already know, do not
hesitate to skip that portion of the curriculum. The purpose of the career path is to ensure you
have the knowledge/skills/abilities needed for the role. If you already have them, there is no need
to duplicate efforts.

Career Paths can contain courses, labs, and assessments. Using these materials concurrently
provides you with both instructional and hands-on experience that will enhance your chances of
passing potential certification exams and give you the experience you need for the actual job role.

We also encourage you to engage with mentors and other learners in the Cybrary Insider Pro
(CIP) Discord Community. The CIP community members will share the insights they have
acquired as they have gone through their journey. In addition, communicating difficult concepts is
a learned skill and our community provides a risk-free environment for you to test that skill.
