Gordon Pelosse, senior vice president at CompTIA, outlines five routes to recruiting cybersecurity talent: higher education alternative, vocational training and certifications, self-directed learning and experience, boot camps and short courses, and work experience. He emphasizes the need for hiring managers to consider these varied paths to gain necessary skills, rather than relying solely on formal degree qualifications. Pelosse encourages recognizing transferable skills or nontraditional education to tap into a rich pool of cybersecurity talent.
