How can a teapot become a cybersecurity specialist at home?

Question

Information Security

Hello!
My name is Maxim, I am an economics student who suddenly realized that he wanted to understand cybersecurity. I have no illegal motives. I really want to understand the diversity of systems that constantly surround us, and I want to take part in their improvement. I would like to get closer to what people call "ethical hacking" and become a new member of this community.
Exactly what I need your support for. I am a real teapot. I would like to know from you:
Free resources that allow you to systematically learn the basics of cybersecurity;
Tips for the teapot (me)
Thank you in advance for your response.

Well then suddenly realize that the first thing an information security specialist should be able to do is to be able to search for information on their own.

Answer 2

Kettle - nothing. For "non-teapots" everything has been on the Internet for a long time and they are at least able to google.

Answer 3

Become an engineer, after that, with a certain mindset, you can become an IB.
