The Breaking Into Cyber roadmap covers career paths, study planning, and practical steps toward your first role.
Keep moving this week
- Choose one foundational activity you can complete: a beginner practice room, a community event, or a short learning session.
- Connect with the Cover6 community and document one thing you learned.
- Set aside time to build the foundation that comes next instead of trying to skip ahead.
Check the Cover6 Community page for current events and ways to connect.
Your Cover6 Academy path
There is no rush. Follow the sequence so each step gives you the context to get more from the next one.
- Breaking Into Cyber — you are here: direction, mindset, and an action plan.
- Intro to Cyber — foundational concepts and hands-on context.
- Home Lab Setup — build the learning environment that supports the practical courses.
- Choose your practice lane after Home Lab:
- First Watch for the defensive/SOC path.
- First Shell for the offensive/pentesting path.
- Go deeper only after the relevant primer: SOC Analyst Prep Labs or Pentester Prep Labs.
You completed Breaking Into Cyber.
Take the next right step: start Intro to Cyber, then build your Home Lab before choosing a practice lane.
