After decades of working as a consultant in IT, from web-dev, networking management, social media and a range of other bits and pieces, I find myself wanting to stretch into a new direction. Cyber security is something I have followed for about a decade, but having never bothered to get certified, I’m now finding transitioning into this space, via HR filters, challenging.

But as someone up for a challenge, and excited by the possibility of learning more about this ever-changing, ever-evolving industry, I thought I’d list what’s on my to-do list, and any useful resources I find along the way.

N.B. I did not come up with this to-do list out of thin air. A family member directed me to A Cyber Threat Intelligence Self-Study Plan: Part 1 and thankfully there is now also a “Part 2“. Other links and recommendations are from people within the industry, or other recommendations that I have found along the way.
