5 Cybersecurity Career Pathways That HR Managers Should Recognize

Recruiting cybersecurity talent requires a flexible approach, according to Gordon Pelosse, SVP of employer engagement at CompTIA. He suggests five pathways to consider: hiring those with associate degrees as they offer a disciplined approach to problem-solving and project management, considering certifications as a reliable indicator of skills and commitment, valuing self-taught skills, appreciating those who have undergone boot camps and short courses, and giving credit to those with relevant work experience. Recognizing these diverse pathways can reveal a large pool of cybersecurity talent.
