Greetings family, hope you are well. I’m an educator in the aamw system in the uKKK and would like to transition into the IT/Tech field. I’ve been seriously considering getting into Cybersecurity and wanted to please ask for some guidance and advice of how to get into this sector. I have an educational background in Interactive Systems Design, Human-Computer Interaction with Ergonomics, User Experience and a little bit in Health Informatics.
Bakari-
