Hi guys,

Where do I begin? That is my fundemental question, I love the subject of
information security, but How and where do I begin? I do not know, What is
the first step the begginers should take? beginners who do not have the
enough knowledge about networks or servers or such things.

When I read about Microsoft certifications or other kinds like Security+, It
sound like it is mostly for proffisionals who just would like to add makeup
to their faces to look better and that is all, So what kind of certification
begginers need to start in the field of information security or what kind of
certification begginers need before they can start in their favorite field?
What the right educational steps they need?

Its all about beginners.

Thanks for listening.

Adola
