Without a degree or any IT experience, I’d say try to get one basic IT certification from CompTIA (A+, Sec+, or Network+), then apply for a HelpDesk job just to get in. You can try going straight to a SOC analyst role if you’re confident in your knowledge/skills. Those are basically the entry points for IT and Security for someone without a lot of experience. Once you’re in, you can start leveling up with experience or move laterally to your desired role. You’ll also be able to get your employer to pay for training and certifications.
Thank you!
