## What it is
A free, structured cybersecurity learning roadmap for beginners, career switchers, and IT professionals, covering networking and OS fundamentals, hands-on labs, certifications, and specialization tracks. It includes a month-by-month study plan, salary data, job-hunting tips, and vetted resource links.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you want a structured, free curriculum for entering cybersecurity
- you need guidance on which certifications to pursue and in what order
- you want curated, vetted links to labs, courses, and communities
- you are a career switcher or IT pro pivoting into security

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on training software or a lab platform rather than a guide
- you want an interactive course with exercises and grading
- you need advanced, specialized material beyond a beginner-to-hired roadmap
