Does Anyone know how a beginner like me in tech can start learning cyber security or starting a career in cyber engineering?

Passing familiarity with a search engine would be high on the list of skills.

It's not a job you would get into without your degrees. The usual CompSci degree then back to school for your masters of cyber security engineering and then it might be possible to enter the field of cyber security engineering.
Short answer: Back to school.

Start with some free online courses to get the basics down. Websites like Coursera, edX, and Udemy have beginner-friendly courses on cybersecurity. They’ll give you a solid foundation in concepts like network security, encryption, and threat detection.Get your hands dirty with practical experience. Websites like Hack The Box and TryHackMe offer interactive labs and challenges that simulate real-world hacking scenarios. They’re super fun and great for learning by doing.Consider getting some certifications. The CompTIA Security+ is a good starting point for beginners and is widely recognized in the industry. Once you’re comfortable, you can look into more advanced certifications like CEH or CISSP
