RESOURCES BY CC

Cybersecurity. Where do you start when searching for reliable training resources?
Where are the free (and some low cost) engaging learning resources?
Which InfoSec career path is built for you?
Where can you gain trustworthy info?
Resources by CC is inspired by all the things I wished were in one central place when making my career transition into the world of cybersecurity.
Additionally, networking and making connections is just as important as learning the tech.
Remember to take time to focus on this essential part of the equation. Your net worth IS your network.
Stay curious!
