Publisher's Summary
Pursuing a career in cybersecurity is not as straightforward as other more traditional professions. Doctors and lawyers serve as great examples. In most countries, including the United States, an advanced academic degree is required for each, along with an occupational license. Although there are exceptions to the rule, the general process includes completion of high school, earning a bachelor’s degree, entrance exams and completion of a master or doctoral program, on-the-job training (residencies and internships), and state or multi-state license examinations.
The cyber career pathway can include none, one, all, or any combination of similar endorsements. However, none are actually required to become a cybersecurity expert. Employers may have requirements for a candidate, which they trust are enough to demonstrate the necessary qualifications. However, one’s proficiency and expertise in cybersecurity is often determined by their inquisitive nature, problem solving skills, technical aptitude, and their ability to understand the interdependencies of people, systems, and applications.
