February 15, 2019 at 6:09 pm #53699
Hello there,
The necessary one is Linux Shell.
I know it’s not a programming language but to learn how to keep things secure or to crawl around a system the basic understanding of Linux Shell is needed.
The other one is C/C++. It’s an open tool and generally, basics of programming start with c/c++. Having knowledge of c/c++ will really help you to know other language’s basics as well as deep further.
And the others are Python, Perl, JS.

OOP basically forms the backbone of most of the programming in the professional world, especially involving large-scale projects. OOP concepts and related subject matter helped you in the fundamentals — data structures, classes, algorithms, pointers, memory management, etc.
The suggestion is,
1. Get your fundamentals right
Get a basic understanding of Networking and Security fundamentals — this will help you greatly in landing.
2. Read, listen, watch
Surround yourself with knowledge. Make it a daily goal to learn something new: it could be as little as spending a few minutes on browsing Stack-exchange.
3 It’s okay to be wrong, as long as you are willing to learn.

The future of cyber security is tightly connected with the future of IT. As technology grows, cyber attacks growing up at a rap[id speed. And for that, cyber security is a must need thing. Our personal lives will be reliant on virtual assistants, and IoT connected devices will be part of almost every function of our daily lives. The complexity and connectivity of these interconnected systems directly affect their level of vulnerability.
In the coming years, nation supported organization will continue to develop cyber-defense and offense technology. Many cyber-attacks are run automatically by ‘bots’ that scan the entire network and find the weakest spot, so we won’t need to look like an ‘attractive target’. New profession and domain expertise will be formed. Large corporations will need to guard their data on their own servers. We can have the most secure data center but if any info will leak throughout the device, we are just as vulnerable.
