By practicing. Run it anyway and get good at it.

“By practicing” is not a good way to get good at security, unless you want to make potentially devastating mistakes along the way.
How else can you get good at security? I guess you could read, but at some point you'll have to practice. And I never said you need to practice with sensitive information.
It depends on what you put at stake, obviously.
