5 Cybersecurity Career Pathways That HR Managers Should Recognize

Cybersecurity talent can be found through several pathways beyond higher education, according to Gordon Pelosse, SVP at CompTIA. These include: vocational training and certifications, self-directed learning and experience, short courses and boot camps, and relevant work experience. A candidate’s specific career pathway should be considered, not just if they hold a degree. Hiring managers should value transferable skills and nontraditional education to tap into the diverse pool of cybersecurity talent.
