5 Cybersecurity Career Pathways That HR Managers Should Recognize

Recruiting cybersecurity talent involves recognising non-traditional pathways including higher education alternatives, certifications, self-directed learning, boot camps, and relevant work experience. HR managers should look beyond formal degrees and validate candidates’ skills. Also, professionals with experience in system administration, network engineering or infrastructure roles can often transition into cybersecurity roles, sometimes bypassing foundational training. Recognising transferable skills or nontraditional education can allow access to a wider pool of suitable candidates.
