Well, GRC is part of cybersecurity also but it's not that technical (imo)

Start with...
Kali Linux, Basic Networking, Python/JS and Certifications like CEH.

That's the foundation ig.

What do you mean ? You are already part of cyber security. What cyber security stuff you wanna pursue?

Hi all! After graduating with my MBA with a focus in project management, I moved organizations to go from an EMR education manager to a full time project manager specializing in EMR implementation projects.

I want to be great at my job and I think connecting with others that have gone through similar things could help.
