How can someone with a non-IT background prepare for a cybersecurity career?

I believe someone from a non-IT background can build a career in cybersecurity with consistent learning and hands-on practice. Start with networking basics, operating systems, and security fundamentals before exploring security tools and real-world scenarios. H2K Infosys can be one option to explore for structured learning and practical training. When comparing cyber security training and job placement programs, I recommend checking for hands-on labs, real-time projects, resume guidance, and mock interview preparation. Beginners can also consider the CompTIA Security+ certification after building a strong foundation. You do not need advanced programming skills to begin, especially if you are interested in entry-level roles such as a SOC analyst. My advice is to focus on practical skills, build a small cybersecurity portfolio, and apply for suitable entry-level positions as you gain confidence.
