๐Ÿš€ Starting My Cybersecurity Journey: Why I Chose This Path

Hi everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹, Iโ€™m Mehramjot Kaur, and Iโ€™ve just started my exciting journey into the world of Cybersecurity.

๐Ÿ”น Why Cybersecurity?

In todayโ€™s digital world, security is more important than ever. From protecting data to defending systems against attacks, cybersecurity plays a key role. Iโ€™ve always been curious about how technology works โ€” and how it can be secured โ€” which is why I chose this path.

๐Ÿ”น My Current Focus

Right now, Iโ€™m learning the fundamentals that will build my foundation in security:

  • ๐Ÿ Python (for scripting & automation)
  • ๐ŸŒ Networking (IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs)
  • ๐Ÿง Linux (system basics & commands)
  • ๐Ÿ” Security Fundamentals

๐Ÿ”น My Plan

Iโ€™ll be:

  • Building small projects & labs
  • Sharing what I learn through posts
  • Documenting progress here on Dev.to, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter)
  • Eventually contributing to open-source security projects

๐Ÿ”น Letโ€™s Connect!

I believe in learning in public. If youโ€™re also into cybersecurity or tech, letโ€™s connect and grow together!
