Question

How can I move from a job in networking to one in cybersecurity?

Answer 1

If you're moving from networking to cybersecurity, start by getting cybersecurity certifications like CompTIA Security+ or CISSP. Learn about threat analysis and security tools. Get hands-on experience through projects or internships. Your networking background can be a bonus, as it connects well with cybersecurity.
