Is cybersecurity a suitable career path for beginners starting in IT?

Yes, cybersecurity is a suitable career path for beginners starting in IT because many entry-level roles focus on fundamentals like networking, system security, and threat monitoring. From what I’ve seen in training environments like H2K Infosys, beginners can transition with structured learning and hands-on labs. The demand is strong, and many learners move into cyber security jobs with training even without prior IT security experience if they build skills in tools like SIEM, basic scripting, and security frameworks. Certifications like Security+ or CEH help validate knowledge. Consistent practice with real attack scenarios and log analysis usually makes the biggest difference in job readiness.
