Getting Started With a Career in Cybersecurity

With the ongoing and seemingly never-ending flood of cyberattacks, companies and governments the world over need experienced, skilled professionals to protect, defend, and strike back. But how do you get into the lucrative cybersecurity career? David Gewirtz has some advice…

“My advice to young folks wanting a good career is to focus on IT certification and programming skills first. That’s because there many more jobs available to IT folk that are often more easily accessible than cybersecurity jobs. Remember, a career in cybersecurity means you’re capable of everything a traditional IT person is capable of, and more. You’re defending against IT and programming mistakes and using all of your IT skills to push back the bad guys.”
