Description
I got into cybersecurity with no experience — but if I had to start over today, I would do things completely differently.
In this video, I’m breaking down my real path into cybersecurity, how I got started through IT Risk Management/GRC, what helped me get my foot in the door, and the biggest mistakes I made along the way.
But more importantly, I’m sharing the path I would choose today if I was starting from zero: Cloud Security + AI Security.
Cybersecurity is changing fast, and I believe beginners need to stop chasing generic “cybersecurity jobs” and start building real skills in areas companies actually need — cloud, identity, risk, automation, and AI security.
If you’re trying to break into cybersecurity in 2026 with no experience, this video will help you think more strategically about your career path.
In this video, I cover:
How I got into cybersecurity with no experience
What I did right when breaking into the field
What I would do differently today
Why I would choose Cloud Security
Why AI Security is a major opportunity
