## What it is
A curated roadmap repository outlining cybersecurity career paths across offensive, defensive, and research roles, with skill requirements and learning resources for each role. It complements a free companion app (Career Coach) offering structured career paths and training materials.

## Use cases
- find a cybersecurity career path for beginners
- learn how to become a penetration tester
- roadmap for becoming a digital forensic analyst
- skills needed to join a red team or blue team
- compare offensive vs defensive security roles
- plan a bug bounty hunter learning path
- understand SOC analyst career requirements

## When to choose
- you want a structured overview of cybersecurity roles and the skills each requires
- you are choosing between offensive, defensive, or research security careers
- you want free curated learning references per role

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on labs or interactive training rather than roadmaps and links
- you expect job responsibilities, salaries, or certification requirements - these are explicitly excluded
- you need a tool or software library rather than documentation

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
