🛡Getting Started in Cybersecurity🛡 5️⃣Relevant Hands-on Experience Having work experience is a catch-22. You need #experience to get a #job and you need a job to gain experience. Cybersecurity is a critical field and interns are not easily trusted with the responsibility to manage systems. Mind you, even the experienced folks make mistakes and misconfigure systems that result in security incidents. Moreover, the industry is a fast-paced one and professionals are expected to hit the ground running immediately they’re employed. That’s why companies require about two to three years of experience; even for #entrylevel roles. But can you blame these companies? Hopefully companies will learn to give #cybersecurity enthusiasts the opportunity to practice the concepts they’ve learnt. #workexperience #practicalskills #techcareers
