Try your favourite search engine, which will find plenty of resources - for example: Microsoft Security Academy[^]

NB: "Cyber security" is a very broad term. You'll probably want to pick a specific area to start.

Sign up for some classes.

If feasible - find a person with similar interest, there is no substiture for eyeball to eyeball interaction.
Narrow you interest down to something interesting - likes "how to break Enigma code ? "
If you are NOT a coder - find K@R "C programing language" and read it as a novel.
Then do not lock yourself into "the latest and greatest " programming language.
Not everything in coding can be picked up from reading manuals and some "modern versions" of coding
languages are not that well presented.
Good luck

First, pick a language: C++ and Python are very different (and for C++ there are multiple frameworks which further complicate matters) - trying to learn the two languages at once as a beginner is like trying to learn Swahili and Mandarin Chinese simultaneously from a Russian!

And don't expect to "leap into cybersecurity" straight away - it's a very complicated subject with a heck of a lot of things that sound contradictory. For example, encrypting stored passwords is a very bad idea as it is seriously insecure!

As a beginner, pick a language that helps you learn and that will be useful in your final aims: C++ isn't really "beginner friendly" and you have to know Pythion very well to get any real security out of it due to it's interpreted nature. C# or even VB would be better starting points as you can learn a second dev language much more easily when you are experienced in another, and they are both very much simpler than C++ and thus easier to learn well.
Get some months - at least - of solid development under your belt before you even start to look at specializing in any field, particularly cybersecurity or you will crash and burn very hard!
