Start by earning a foundational certification such as CompTIA Security+ or Google's Cybersecurity Certificate, which signals readiness to employers who hire at this level. Build a home lab, document a personal project, or complete a capture-the-flag competition to give interviewers something concrete to discuss. Internships, college coursework in networking or operating systems, and any hands-on security work all strengthen an entry level application meaningfully.
