Demand for Cyber Security Engineers

Optionally, a cyber-engineering candidate can then continue his or her education by earning a master’s degree, once again focusing on fields that closely relate to Cyber Security. That master’s degree will be especially crucial if you want to become a Senior Cyber Security Engineer.

Then, you should get some work experience under your belt. Conventional wisdom says that an aspiring Cyber Security engineer should get three years of professional experience before making an official move. This figure can vary depending on the level and quality of work experience that the prospective candidate has managed to accumulate.

At last, there’s the final step: certification. Certification does two things for you; first of all, it gives you additional skills and knowledge that will come in handy down the road. Secondly, it provides verifiable evidence to the hiring party that you are well-trained for the position they’re interviewing for.

If you’re looking for certification, there are many resources available to you, practically an embarrassment of riches. There may be TOO many resources out there, but no worries, we’ll discuss a great option in just a little bit.

There are many different appropriate certifications that you can try for. There’s no reason you can’t go for more than one of them. The more tools you have at your disposal, the better your chances of getting the position you want.
