Cybersecurity Roadmap For Beginners 2023 | How to Become a Cybersecurity Expert ? 

In today's market, almost all businesses operate through the internet in some capacity, making cybersecurity professionals in high demand. Here are some free courses from Skiller that beginners in the domain can take up:

• Acquire basic computer skills and systems knowledge necessary to work your way around hundreds of platforms.
• Networking skills are essential, particularly wireless networking, as a lot of the work will revolve around wireless access and network security protocols.
• Get your knowledge of Linux operating systems to above-average standards as most scanning tools and exploit frameworks run exclusively on Linux-based distributions like Kali Linux and Parrot Security.
• Basic scripting skills are necessary as developing and combating exploits will require some programming skills.
• Learn the basics of hacking from scratch before moving on to practice labs or certifications.

For further growth in this domain, professionals can take the OSCP online course or the PNPT exam. Skiller offers free courses taught by subject experts, and completion certificates are awarded at the end of the course.

We hope this cybersecurity roadmap for 2023 has been informative. Feel free to leave your doubts and thoughts in the comment section below.

A university issues badges through a homegrown identity management system to all staff and students. Each week during the summer, temporary summer school students arrive and need to be issued a badge to access minimal campus resources. The security team received a report from an outside auditor indicating the homegrown system is not consistent with best practices in the security field and leaves the institution vulnerable.

Which of the following should the security team recommend FIRST?

Options:
A. Investigating a potential threat identified in logs related to the identity management system
B. Updating the identity management system to use discretionary access control
C. Beginning research on two-factor authentication to later introduce into the identity management system
D. Working with procurement and creating a requirements document to select a new IAM system/vendor

A network architect is designing a new SD-WAN architecture to connect all local sites to a central hub site. The hub is then responsible for redirecting traffic to public cloud and datacenter applications. The SD-WAN routers are managed through a SaaS, and the same security policy is applied to staff whether working in the office or at a remote location. The main requirements are the following:

1. The network supports core applications that have 99.99% uptime.

2. Configuration updates to the SD-WAN routers can only be initiated from the management service.

3. Documents downloaded from websites must be scanned for malware.

Which of the following solutions should the network architect implement to meet the requirements?

Options:

A Reverse proxy, stateful firewalls, and VPNs at the local sites
B IDSs, WAFs, and forward proxy IDS
C DoS protection at the hub site, mutual certificate authentication, and cloud proxy
D IPSs at the hub, Layer 4 firewalls, and DLP

An engineering team is developing and deploying a fleet of mobile devices to be used for specialized inventory management purposes. These devices should:

* Be based on open-source Android for user familiarity and ease.

* Provide a single application for inventory management of physical assets.

* Permit use of the camera be only the inventory application for the purposes of scanning

* Disallow any and all configuration baseline modifications.

* Restrict all access to any device resource other than those requirement ?

Options:

A. Set an application wrapping policy, wrap the application, distributes the inventory APK via the MAM tool, and test the application restrictions.
B. Write a MAC sepolicy that defines domains with rules, label the inventory application, build the policy, and set to enforcing mode.
C. Swap out Android Linux kernel version for >2,4,0, but the internet build Android, remove unnecessary functions via MDL, configure to block network access, and perform integration testing
D. Build and install an Android middleware policy with requirements added, copy the file into/ user/init, and then built the inventory application.
