Cybersecurity projects to demonstrate your skills

Cyber Work

We’ve all been there — 200 pages into your Security+ study guide reading, and your eyes are crossing from exhaustion. Does any of this even connect with the real world? One of the best ways to apply your learning is to try it out for yourself, and my guest today, Infosec Skills author professor Robert McMillen, has a host of suggestions for low-cost, low-danger security tasks that you can try for yourself and determine whether you have what it takes to keep it going in cybersecurity. As a bonus, McMillen gives some pretty outstanding advice for taking these hands-on experiences and interjecting them into your first job interviews!
