These 4 Courses Are The Perfect Intro For Cybersecurity Beginners

If you don’t know a firewall from a hole in the wall, then the almost daily reports of various cyber breaches, identity thefts and thorough security breakdowns by multi-billion dollar corporations is enough to promote some serious anxiety around the subject. That’s particularly true is you’re a business owner who wants to ensure your company’s vital information and processes are staunchly protected.

But, the best way to arm yourself against all that fear is with the truth — and the training found in The Comprehensive Beginner’s Guide to Cybersecurity Bundle ($29.99, over 90 percent off) will give you a window into a complicated world that any business or IT professional needs to know better.

The collection features four courses specifically created to provide an introduction for those trying to get their hands around cybersecurity for the first time.

The Absolute Beginners Guide to Personal Cyber Security is a straight-forward, no fluff exploration of the field, including best practices to ensure safety and security on websites as well as social media. This course uses real-world examples of hacking attacks as they show you how to stop them, even if you’re never had any IT or cybersecurity training before.

Your remaining three courses each focus in on various aspects of protecting devices, servers, networks and other connected systems from hacking and attacks.

In Part 1: Basic Concepts, students work through security terminology, concepts, and protocols that everyone should know before moving on to hacking methods, malware types, and the tactics security pros use to stop them.

In Part 2: Networks and Privacy, the six-hour training session turns to other core cybersecurity arenas like networking, anonymity, email security, encryption, backups and more. In addition to the latest techniques for stopping cybercrime, this course also familiarizes students with some of the most popular tools for tightening your security net,  including VPNs, Kaspersky Antivirus, Bitlocker, and more.

Finally, Part 3: Mobile Security drives everything home with an emphasis on mobile devices, the way more than half of all web traffic is viewed. The course delves into using Malwarebytes, one of the web’s best anti-malware apps, to learn practical skills and techniques to protect mobile devices against hackers and malware. You’ll also learn the personal steps to take to increase your safety out in the world like how to safely access free public Wi-Fi networks and making smart changes to your phone’s default security settings that will help.

Guiding you through the above courses is best-selling instructor Alexander Oni, who has years of online teaching experience and has created over 25 different courses with more than 50,000 students registered worldwide.

Each course in this bundle routinely sells for $200, but by getting in on this current offer, the entire collection is now just $29.99, less than $8 per course.

{things that helped me as a c0mputer science major}

Hi! So I wanted to make a post sharing some of the stuff that helped me improve at computer science but some of this advice can be applied to any subject you're studying. Hopefully, these tips will help you if you're beginning your journey in CS at University/College.

*I'm still learning and I'm nowhere near perfect so there may be some things in here that you disagree with but that's okay because everyone has different learning styles. A lot of this advice stems from personal experience so I don't expect these tips to work for everyone. With that being said, feel free to reblog this post with your own tips :)*

"How do I even know if I want to do CS at University?"

Well, Comp-Sci is obviously not everyone's cup of tea but chances are if you are curious to learn more about the subject (either as a hobby or career) it's a good idea to take a couple of intro/beginner courses to see how you feel about it before you major in it. It may be discouraging to hear some of your peers changing their majors from Computer Science saying that it's either "too boring" or "too hard". Most likely they either majored in CS because of only the pay or because they thought it would be easier than it turned out to be. But have no fear! As long as you're passionate about learning this totally awesome subject and are persistent through the challenging areas, you'll do great!

*note: there is nothing wrong with changing your major if you find something that you love more and would rather dedicate more time to. Just don't feel like you have to change your major if you're not confident that you will be successful as a computer scientist due to your skill level because you will get better. I promise.*

1. [stay consistent when learning programming languages]

Imagine you want to learn a foreign language like French, Arabic, or Japanese. Do you pick up a book and read it once or twice a week and expect to be fluent in a couple of months? Of course not! You need to be consistent and set aside at least an hour every day to sit down and learn/practice your language of choice. The same applies to programming languages. You have to dedicate enough time outside of class to really develop your coding skills but make sure you leave enough time for your hobbies and to relax because you don't want to burn out. Consistency is the key. Remember, if you don't use it you lose it.

2. [ask a lot of questions in class!]

You won't believe how many times students have a question during a lecture but don't ask it, instead they tell themselves that they'll "google it when I get home." But the reality is that most of the time they'll be too tired or forget to look up their question on the web. Even if they remember, the answers they get on the web won't always fit their question. You may be doing this too often but are unaware of it. It's understandable if you have anxiety from speaking in the presence of a crowd or are too afraid that your question is too basic. Please don't feel this way! Most of the students in your class are in the same position as you, some are probably even more confused. When you ask your question in class you not only help yourself understand the concept better but you also allow the professor to explain the topic further which benefits the whole class.

*note: not all professors allow for questions in the middle of a lecture so take advantage of office hours to ask them questions you wrote in your notes.*

3. [make connections with your professors]

The reason why we're in college is to find something we love and make a career out of it, right? Well logically, one of the main steps of getting a career is to make connections with your professors! Businesses and organizations work with universities all the time; whether it's for on-campus events, internships for undergrads, or scholarships. Your professors know about these opportunities probably more than anyone else because they have to sit in meetings discussing them for hours and is why you should talk to them if you're interested in any of this stuff. Like I said before, take advantage of their office hours. Let them know you want to volunteer at events, apply for any internships, or apply for merit-based scholarships. Show them that you want to do more than just be a student and that you're ready to do more work for an impressive resume. I wouldn't have been able to get a fraction of the opportunities I did if it weren't for my professor's emailing me about them or writing letters of recommendation for me (which happened because I volunteered myself to work on projects even if it meant that sacrificing other responsibilities sometimes). In short: put yourself out there and get noticed.

4. [learn how to use online resources]

There's no avoiding staying up trying to work on a project that's completely boggling your mind. If you feel like you won't get it to work no matter what you do, don't worry because the internet is your best friend. It's no surprise the number of resources available on the internet is almost endless but what might surprise you is the number of solutions to the specific question you have. Yup, there are people out there struggling with the same problem as you and plenty of people offering different solutions. It's very important to remember that you shouldn't blindly copy/paste their solutions into your code if you don't how it works. You first need to identify what you did wrong and what their solution did right. This allows you to learn from your mistakes and prevents you from running into the same problems over and over again.

5. [learn how to use GitHub]

No explanation is needed, just please learn how to use it. You are welcome.

6. [avoid procrastinating!]

You already know this is a bad habit and if you don't do it, congratulations you can skip this part or you can continue reading. Procrastinating results in projects messily put together the hour before it's due (don't lie, you've been there) and professors notice it, don't think they don't. Procrastination is something we don't want to do but I'm not gonna sit here and say "stop procrastinating" because that won't work (it surely doesn't work for me), but I have some tips to avoid procrastinating.

a. Create fake deadlines for assignments that are actually earlier than the real due date! This tricks your brain to procrastinate according to the fake deadline but you'll still have time to fix and polish your assignment before the real due date. This works for me 100% of the time.

b. Work with your classmate(s) on assignments. We often procrastinate when we're working on projects alone because we are working at our own pace, which is usually avoiding doing it all week and cramming it the night before we turn it in. When you have a partner working on it with you it's required that you work at a steady pace in order to keep up with them and finish the assignment on time. You can either meet up with your partner after class or online. This tip works like a charm, it's motivated me to work on assignments that I've been neglecting when my classmates asked me "how did you do X in our assignment?" or "let's screenshare our code and work on it together!"

7. [explore different fields in computer science]

Computer Science is a very broad study that has many specific concentrations. Someone might have zero interest in machine learning but love cybersecurity and one who has no plans on learning how to create programs might have a passion for computer hardware. You need to explore different areas you feel like you might be interested in. Visit workshops on them or take a couple of classes at a local CC and see which you love the most.

Good luck with your endeavors in computer science! Hopefully, these tips help you and remind to never give up. You can do this! I’m sure I missed a bunch of stuff so share some stuff that helps you stay on track. I want to make posts more often so please wait for them :) also feel free to ask me anything you want to know and I'll answer it to the best of my ability <3
