Cyber-security Career

First, it is important to note that cybersecurity covers several areas, then you should first decide which one to focus on. For example:
- Security Architect
- Security Consultant
- Penetration Tester/Ethical Hacker
- Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Once you have chosen one field, you should consider the most relevant certifications and best practices related to it. For example, for CISO some examples are CISM and CISA certifications.

For security consultants who wish to work cybersecurity based on ISO 27001 standard, the leading standard for information security management, there are two options:
- ISO 27001 Lead Implementer – this certification recognizes people who have competency on the ISO 27001 implementation process.
- ISO 27001 Lead Auditor – this certification recognizes people who have competency on auditing an ISMS against ISO 27001 requirements and want to become certification auditor (and with this provides more confidence to an organization for being certified).
