    How to become a cybersecurity pro?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 10:10 AM PDT

    I'm one of those webdev bootcamp dudes, working now in a full stack position and have no other real CS background. Seeing all these big companies (and countries) get hacked all the time, and being on the receiving end of hacks in the past, I was considering going back to school or self learning some security things but idk where to start, or what schools/programs are good for this. tips?

    Why is there a notion that devices using iOS and macOS are much more difficult to hack into than android? (Is this even true) What is the inherent difference between the two OSs?

    I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to computers terms and compsci, so I'd really appreciate it if you could give a relatively simple but comprehensive answer. Thanks!

    What is the process of making a chipset or any hardware?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 04:03 PM PDT

    This is my understanding so far, but I want it to be more elaborate and concise. As an example, I'll use Intel and their development of the 8700k:

    -Intel's CEO says hey I want new processor to compete against AMD's Ryzen.

    -CEO's message relays to a product manager(PM)

    -PM gathers the system/computer architect(s) and say "hey we need a new CPU. it needs to fit these costs, speed, power."

    (meetings are held)

    -system architect designs the chipset using a hardware simulator software and builds the blueprint

    (more meetings are held)

    -architect(s) now hand off their blueprint to engineers.

    -using the blueprint, the engineers create the implementation using hardware description language for the defining of the elementary logic gates.

    (more meetings)

    -once done, it is sent off for photolithography.

    (production)

    -boom. now you have an 8700k?

    -happy Intel CEO?

    If you don't mind, could you use any real life example to explain to me their process of tackling the creation of a chipset. It doesn't have to be Intel or whatever.

    What's the order? Does the system architect have to design the architecture first then the developers can engineer? Who's in charge of the microarchitecture vs instruction set architecture. For example, Intel creating the 8700k processor. There's multiple modules within the processor: ALU, Control unit, Memory(registers and cache). Are these modules designed by the system architect? Within those modules, I'm guessing they are comprised of other modules which are composed of logic gates? Are these logic gate modules designed by the developers? Within those logic gates, there lies the circuitry? Who does what?
