Gordon Pelosse, SVP of employer engagement at CompTIA, discusses five pathways for recruiting cybersecurity specialists: 1) Associate degrees, which offer a less time-consuming and cheaper option than a four-year degree, 2) Vocational training and certifications that keep up with the latest technological changes, 3) Self-directed learning and work experience, which demonstrate initiative and proactive growth, 4) Boot camps and short courses, which provide accelerated, focused learning, 5) Pre-existing work experience in system administration, network engineering, or infrastructure roles.
