πŸš€ Starting My Cybersecurity Journey: Why I Chose This Path

Hi everyone πŸ‘‹, I’m Mehramjot Kaur, and I’ve just started my exciting journey into the world of Cybersecurity.

πŸ”Ή Why Cybersecurity?

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

πŸ”Ή My Current Focus

Right now, I’m learning the fundamentals that will build my foundation in security:

  • 🐍 Python (for scripting & automation)
  • 🌐 Networking (IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs)
  • 🐧 Linux (system basics & commands)
  • πŸ” Security Fundamentals

πŸ”Ή My Plan

I’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

πŸ”Ή Let’s Connect!

I believe in learning in public. If you’re also into cybersecurity or tech, let’s connect and grow together!
