It would seem best to understand both offensive and defensive aspects of security, which, of course, is based on the fundamentals. There are no shortcuts to download a tool and become anything in Cybersecurity space because people who understand the fundamentals can easily counter most “amateur” attacks.
For example, if I hire somebody interested in a certain type of security position, my first question will always be the opposite… If you want to attack X, how would you defend it? and then how would you circumvent that defense, etc.
