I had to wait about 2 weeks to actually receive the product since I’m currently in Korea. But 2 weeks of waiting was totally worth it! I finished reading the first chapter on the day I received the book because it was so interesting and well written. It gave me the confidence that I’d be able to switch to cyber security industry despite having no IT and/or Computer Sciente related background and experience as long as I plan ahead carefully!

This book shows and explains how anyone even without IT background can join the cyber security field.It outlines paths to take and how one can train, get demanded certificates and network with people already in the field.Over the years I have not found any other book that takes all that information into one format. A must-read!
