From Certificates to Capability: Breaking into Cybersecurity Through Practical Projects

How do you turn cybersecurity learning into practical skills you can demonstrate? In this webinar, Oluwole Isaac Ajayi explores cybersecurity career pathways and how to build projects that show your technical understanding, problem-solving and ability to document your work. The session covers: • Six pathways: SOC and detection engineering, cloud security, identity security, application security, penetration testing, and governance, risk and compliance (GRC). • The skills, tools and certifications relevant to each pathway. • Practical project ideas and how to present your work on GitHub. • A walkthrough of the Microsoft Sentinel Identity Risk Workbook. • Learning resources and a roadmap for getting started. • Audience questions about projects, certifications and preparing for cybersecurity roles. Whether you’re a student, changing careers or developing your first cybersecurity portfolio, this session will help you choose a direction and identify practical next steps.
