Build Your Career in Windows Security—Step by Step
If you're not sure how to move from basic IT work into a real role in Windows Infrastructure or Cybersecurity, this learning path is for you.
I’ve mapped out the exact steps I took—from managing Windows Servers to working as a System Security Engineer. Inside, you’ll find the skills to focus on, tools to use, what to study, and how to prove your knowledge—along with links to all the resources that helped me.
Everything is organized into a clear path:
✔ Hands-on lab setup (so you can test, not just read)
✔ Security fundamentals & baselines
✔ Real-world tools and frameworks (CIS, STIG, ACSDC...)
✔ Certification goals (AZ-800/801, CISSP, CEH...)
✔ Practical resources to dig deeper
Use it to build confidence, get certified, or make your move into security.
