| Titre | La cybersécurité n'est pas un outil ou un logiciel;est un état d'esprit: combler l'écart pour les changeurs de carrière Cybersecurity is not a tool or software piece; is a state of mind: Bridging the gap for career changers |
| Texte | Introduction In recent years, the field of cybersecurity has witnessed a significant influx of professionals from non-Information Technology (IT) backgrounds who are making the leap into this dynamic industry. As a cybersecurity technical developer and instructor, I have had the privilege of delivering many customers in-person and virtual training courses and meeting numerous individuals seeking to transition into cybersecurity from diverse non-IT related fields. I can remember Cindy, a lawyer in a large firm, not really finding fulfillment after a “boring” eighteen months at the firm. Also, Ann, an actress with over 17 successful years of movie and theater experience, wanting to get into the industry for higher income to support her daughter. Then Richard, a radiologist tired of the customer abuse he was receiving and wanting more in life. Everything starts with the right mindset at the onset; and not every career in cybersecurity is deeply technical. Cybersecurity is a broad field and cybersecurity professionals may do their jobs in a variety of ways. This includes the following roles - keeping in mind that at least two of them are not 100% technical. They can have roles that protect a company’s internal networks and data from outside threat actors as information security professionals. They can have roles in risk management where they can confirm businesses take appropriate measures to protect against cybercrime. They can have roles where they can confirm businesses comply with local, state, and federal cybersecurity and data protections laws. Aside from being super solid on the OSI Model, hands-on TCP/IP, networking skills, a couple of industry certifications, a drive to self-study, some basic coding and a couple of bootcamps, an aspiring cybersecurity professional must also consider their skills. They bring things to the table from the fields where they come from, which are useful, fully transferable and appreciated! Sometimes as “seasoned professionals” we forget to investigate fresh ways to pivot in incident response (IR) scenarios for example. Technical skills can, with some education, hands-on practice, and self-study, be mastered, but the main ones that you will need for the transition are not going to be found in the classroom, or in the computer screen. These are the face-to-face interactions we have with friends, family, coworkers, and strangers. In other words, the soft skills; those skills that cannot be coded or productized but indeed can be monetized. Transitioning from entertainment/law/health and many other industries to the cybersecurity field does bring valuable transferable skills. In this article I aim to explore the many valuable skills career changers bring to the table and highlight seven essential skills they must possess to successfully embark on this exciting and amazing journey. Attention to detail: Actors pay great attention to detail, focusing on nuances in dialogue, characterization, and stage directions. In cybersecurity, meticulousness is essential when reviewing code, identifying vulnerabilities, conducting security assessments, and analyzing logs. Her ability to spot inconsistencies and pay attention to minute details can be valuable. Radiology technicians work with complex medical imaging equipment, where precision and attention to detail are crucial. This skill translates well to the cybersecurity field, where professionals need to analyze large amounts of data, identify vulnerabilities, and detect potential threats with accuracy. Lawyers pay great attention to detail when reviewing legal documents, contracts, and evidence. This attention to detail can be valuable in cybersecurity, where professionals must review policies, analyze security controls, and identify potential vulnerabilities. They can also contribute to ensuring cybersecurity practices align with legal and regulatory standards. |
