Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to this bright, energetic, aspiring group of students at California State University, Northridge on how to start a career in #cybersecurity. We focused on the soft skills needed for building your foundation I've always said technical proficiency can be taught, but the other three require #passion. We identified the following tenets. If you know someone who is interested in getting into cyber, share with them. The 3 must haves: 📊 Analytical Skills - The ability to sift through data from myriad sources is paramount. Identifying and mitigating security threats demands a keen analytical mind that can see beyond the apparent. 🔎Problem-Solving Ability - Facing complex challenges head-on and crafting innovative ideas to solve for them is the hallmark of an adept cybersecurity professional. It's about thinking several steps ahead of the bad guys 🧠 Continuous #Learning - Be a sponge. No one ever knows everything. The cybersecurity landscape is in constant flux, with new threats and technologies emerging at a rapid pace. Ongoing #education and certifications are essential to stay ahead of the curve, separate yourself from the pack and constantly build your knowledgebase. #students
