Cybersecurity Leadership

Cyber security careers are a journey with no finish line - so how/where do you start? 

It's difficult to navigate a career in cybersecurity, especially with all the varying roles. A veteran CISO offers advice on how to find your niche in the security industry.

The evolution and growing prominence of the CISO role gives holders more options on where to go next in their careers.

The cybersecurity skills gap exists and persists because the skills enterprises seek are multifaceted, in high demand, and range beyond technical. From physical security to the creation and implementation of policy — and the challenges that accompany managing people — securing data goes way beyond technical skill.

People are the key to a successful cyber security operation for any organisation – not the technology in place.

Cybersecurity is an entirely misunderstood field, and there are many flawed perceptions about it. So many, in fact, that people are actually reluctant to advance their careers in this field.

Building a sustainable cybersecurity workforce requires a hybrid approach that is both focused on acquiring top talent with specialist skills and retraining and upskilling existing staff.

Cultivate these half-dozen qualities and watch your career soar.
