[Suggestions on HeadStart for Information Security]

Hello Everyone,

No stranger to Hak5 and the show. Came here for some wisdom.

I'm about to start formal education on Information Security. I'm currently working as a Network Security engineer (work mostly on all kinds of VPN solutions) and therefore do not have a lot of experience with what the other aspects of Security are made up of (Forensics, Cyber etc..). Here is a list of the classes I'll be attending over the next year or so:

• Security and Privacy in Computing 
• Cryptography and Coding
• Computer Security 
• Network Security (I think I know a bit of this now)
• Computer Intrusion Detection 
• Forensics 
• Software Vulnerability
• Cloud Computing Security 

I wanted to know from you guys as to if there is content on Hak5 (and elsewhere) that I can start viewing/reading for learning purposes. I'm looking into getting a head start into the field of InfoSec and would like any sort of help.

PS: I know coding is an essential skill these days and I'm already working on improving mine. Any pointers in this front would also be much appreciated!

Thanks guys!
