The blog of a cybersecurity student

  I came across Cyberseek while researching our Cybersecurity Roles assignment and thought it was a great resource. The website breaks down roles in a simple, visual way. It shows how you can start in more basic IT roles and work your way into cybersecurity jobs over time. It also has interactive tools, like a map that shows where cybersecurity jobs are in demand and a career pathway tool that helps you see what steps to take next. The website is based on real job data, not just general advice. It shows what employers are actually looking for, including skills, certifications, and experience. This information shows you what skills are in high demand, which allows you formulate a plan of attack to get the role you want. It also helps put things into perspective by showing how many cybersecurity jobs are open, which really highlights how big and growing the field is. CyberSeek acts like a roadmap, helping you connect the dots between learning skills, gaining experience, and event...

I came across the MITRE ATT&CK website and felt that it would be a valuable resource for both cybersecurity students and professionals because it provides real-world understanding of how cyberattacks actually happen. The website is structured well. For example, it has a hyperlink for a particular topic, such as ‘Reconnaissance’, and will then have a column of hyperlinks that relate to that topic. This allows one to truly focus on a topic that they are interested in learning more about. The website also includes a large amount of practical, detailed information for each technique, such as how the attack works, examples of real-world use, and possible detection or mitigation strategies. This makes it especially helpful not just for learning concepts, but for applying them in real scenarios like threat hunting, incident response, and system defense. Another reason the site is so valuable is that it is continuously updated and community-driven. Cybersecurity professionals from arou...

The Hacker News I came across a website called The Hacker News, and it seems like a useful site to stay on top of current risks that relate to cybersecurity. The site regularly posts articles about current cyberattacks, newly discovered vulnerabilities, malware campaigns, and security research. After reviewing a few articles, I felt that they did a good job of explaining complex cybersecurity topics in a way that is easier to understand. They often break down how a specific attack works, what vulnerability was exploited, and what organizations can do to protect themselves. Overall, I think that The Hacker News is a good resource for cybersecurity professionals who want to stay informed about current threats and developments in the field. It provides real-world examples of the types of attacks and vulnerabilities that security professionals deal with every day. Website: https://thehackernews.com/
