One of the most common questions I’ve received after 20+ years as an ethical hacker and teaching more than 43,000 students around the world is:
“Terry, how do I get started in cybersecurity?”
I get asked this by students trying to figure out their future, parents wanting to guide their kids, IT professionals looking to transition into security, and people considering a completely new career path.
And I understand why, The world is changing quickly.
AI is transforming industries, technology is evolving faster than ever, and many people are asking themselves:
“What skills should I be learning for the future?”
Cybersecurity is exciting… but from the outside it can also be overwhelming.
Where do you start?
Do you need a degree?
Which certification should you take?
Should you learn ethical hacking, AI security, cloud security, forensics, or something else?
The biggest mistake I see people make is investing thousands of dollars into training or years into an education path before they even know which direction they want to go.
I put together this video to help answer the questions I get asked all the time and show how you can explore the cybersecurity world, understand the different paths, and make a more informed decision about your future.
If you or someone you know has ever wondered “Could cybersecurity be my future?” then this video was created to help answer that question.
Feel free to share it with someone who needs a starting point.

In a world of digital technology, it is easy to forget one sobering fact: our identity can be stolen from under our nose, with one click of the mouse, propelling us into nightmares in a matter of minutes, anytime, anywhere and on any one of our darling gadgets. Hackers, malware, botnets and all form of digital threats are ever more sophisticated, waiting in the shadows for that one opportunity to steal your sensitive information.
Terry Cutler, A Certified Ethical Hacker and international award winner reminds us of just how vulnerable our data really is, through chilling real-life stories, such as that of a simple USB key left purposefully behind, in any targeted enterprise’s lavatory, where an unsuspecting (albeit good-willed) employee can just pick it up, plug it in and thus, lead the hackers right into the company’s core data.
Terry’s training will teach you how to
· Easily come up with an undecipherable password
· How to secure your information on social media
· How to detect threats
· How to identify frauds
· How to find out what personal information about yourself is floating on the web
But he reminds us that no matter how stringent our defenses are, there are no silver bullets against cyber crooks and that a computer’s security is only as strong as its weakest link. That weak link is usually human error.
