Gordon Pelosse at CompTIA highlights five potential pathways to cybersecurity roles. Firstly, vocational training and certifications coupled with theoretical knowledge and practical skills; secondly, an associate degree that delivers a disciplined, comprehensive education; thirdly, self-directed learning through online courses and projects; fourthly, boot camps and short courses for quick skill development, and finally, professionals with experience in related roles who can transfer their existing skills.
