A Career in Cybersecurity has never been easier
As the field of cybersecurity continues to grow, so do the disciplines within it.
Cybersecurity work includes using problem solving skills often compared to those of a detective – the analysis of policy, trends and intelligence to better understand how an adversary may think or act. This level of work complexity requires the cyber professional to possess a broad range of knowledge, skills and abilities. Due to this broad range and diversity of skills, there are many different jobs options within the field of cybersecurity. There is no one true path to working in cybersecurity and people come at it from all angles – math, computer science, even history or philosophy.
Preparing for a career in cybersecurity.
Many disciplines within the field have industry certifications that verify the knowledge and ability of the applicants. Aside from technical competency, businesses believe that employees with certifications possess better communcation skills and better project management skills – all important for a successful career in cyber.
