Six courses, one path

Take them in this order. Each one builds on the last, from how a network works to how an analyst handles a real attack. Three of them come from Cisco's Junior Cybersecurity Analyst career path.

You don't have to take all six.

Start with one course and give it your full attention. There's no rush and no pressure: I'll keep sharing free courses again and again. Finish one, then pick the next.
