Posts like this are exactly why we built SEC0. Not to prove you know everything. But to prove you’ve started. SEC0 isn’t about being job-ready. It’s about getting over that first mental barrier and taking your first step into cyber! Massive respect for trusting the process and sticking with it Bradley Mavin 👏
"Securing the Fundamentals" Imposter syndrome had been creeping in. Four months of learning, and somehow it still felt like I knew nothing. So I set myself a simple challenge to take a basic TryHackMe practice exam, just to get a feel for the format and see how far down the road I actually am. A few questions sent me reaching for my notes to confirm an answer, which was a good reminder that revision still matters. But the big lesson is learning to trust myself in this new world. There was a moment of doubt about whether the exam was even worth doing, should I skip it entirely and jump straight to the SEC1 I'd already won a pass for? The real goal is the SAL1 cert, and eventually the new SAL2, so every step counts. It was worth doing!! This has been a rabbit hole of a journey, and honestly, it's only just beginning. Cybersecurity is a vast umbrella, and there is so much more ahead.
