Hello, my name is Jesse

I started my journey in the CyberSecurity world in early 2023, when I started the Google CyberSecurity certificate course. This introduction was enough to get me excited to learn and contribute to the IT world.

Since then I have started the EdX CyberSecurity bootcamp and met alot of other aspiring people in the field. I've made this blog as a way to chronicle my experience so far, as well as all the things I'll find in the future.

EdX Bootcamp

Schooling

I originally started my CyberSecurity journey with the Google CyberSecurity certificate, which to its credit, taught me a lot of the fundamentals, including the CIA triad aswell as the 7 OSI layers. However this learning style didn't work for me as well as I wished it would. It lacked the structre that I feel helps me learn best. This is when I signed up for the EdX bootcamp through UC Denver. And this course has helped me immeasurably. Learning everything from how to use Azure all the way to Web Penetration.

TryHackMe

Independent Learning

My next step so far has been doing the TryHackMe SOC level 1 path. So far in this course I've learned about the pyramid of pain, SIEM, and MITRE. This has been excellent expierience for me so far, giving me some hands on work to complete, as well as information and the fundamentals behind it.
