Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting internet-connected systems, including hardware, software, and data, from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. This includes protecting against a wide range of threats, including hacking, viruses, and malware.

What is ethical hacking?
Ethical hacking refers to the practice of using hacking techniques for the purpose of identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks.

I am a ethical hacker and suggesting you that at beginning you don't need any skill. But of you want to learn programming then python will be very beneficial for you as it helps to program different tools

Identity and access management is a must
Before learning cloud security master public cloud administration first like Azure AWS or Google
I have seen lost of cybersecurity professionals who don't know basic IAM basic cloud skills only doing CEH and comptia and then struggling in SOC/cybersecurity

What you said was bit wrong...
All you said we're required but they don't determine your position in infosec community.
I'm a Threat Hunting Specialist
Addon skills were malware analyst, incident responder, forensics specialist, security architect it goes on... and my programming skills were like need to know basis only, in fact I understand the code but not spend my time writing the code...
