Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting a side hustle in cybersecurity for IoT would be challenging for the average beginner due to the technical knowledge and skills required to effectively secure IoT devices. Without a background in cybersecurity, individuals would need to invest time in learning about IoT security protocols and best practices. Online resources like cybersecurity forums and courses can help beginners grasp the basics, but hands-on experience is crucial in this field. I'd rate it a 2 because while possible with serious effort and learning, it's not beginner-friendly without prior experience.
