Hello everybody,

I'm looking to get into cybersecurity and would like to begin to take things more seriously in my preparation. I'd like some recommendations for good (paid and free) online resources - websites, courses, YouTube channels, labs, and communities that have been successful for some of you when starting in cybersecurity?

Here's what I have so far:

- I am currently preparing for the CompTIA Security+ cert specifically

-The objective is to pass the cert and then use the knowledge as a foundation for landing an entry-level cybersecurity/IT security role

-I am willing to commit about 4 to 5 hours of study per week

I have heard of some sites, such as TryHackMe, Hack The Box, and Cybrary, but I would like to know what had worked for other people and if there is anything to avoid for someone starting out.

thank you in advance for your help.
