Need Guidance on Transitioning from Networking to Security

Hi everyone,

I have 3 years of experience in networking at TCS, primarily working on routing, switching, and F5 load balancers. Iā€™m currently based in Bengaluru and looking to switch companies while transitioning into network security. However, I donā€™t have much hands-on experience with security tools yet.

Iā€™d love to get guidance from professionals who have made a similar transition. Whatā€™s the best way to gain practical security skills? Are there any must-have certifications or labs I should focus on? Also, how can I position my networking experience to land a security role?

Any advice, resources, or interview tips would be really helpful.

Thanks in advancešŸ™‚

First learn Cisco ASA firewall then start learning checkpoint or PALO Palo any one of them .. Use YouTube or Udemy for learning these Firewalls . Once you done then update the resume and mention there you are doing L1 task on firewall - like monitoring , ACL rule review etc .. then start lab practice , then start job hunting .. better check internally if any opening in TCS
