All of this information is good to keep in mind while you are exploring a career in cybersecurity. Now let’s get a little more specific – what cybersecurity experience level is right for you? We’ve filtered through the information provided by CyberSeek by career level.
Entry-Level Cybersecurity Roles

Entry-level cybersecurity jobs require these skills the most, according to CyberSeek:
Information security
Information systems
Network security
Linux

The four entry-level cybersecurity job roles – cybersecurity specialist/technician, cybercrime analyst/investigator, incident analyst/responder and IT auditor – list information security as a top skill requested. If you are experienced in information security, then you already have the foundation for an entry-level cybersecurity career.

IT certifications can validate the skills you have and demonstrate to employers that you can do the job. CompTIA Security+, Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) can be a good place to start in the entry-level category.

CompTIA Security+ is the only one that assesses baseline cybersecurity skills through performance-based questions. It emphasizes hands-on practical skills, preparing security professionals to problem solve a wider variety of issues. If you don’t already have CompTIA Security+, consider the benefits it could bring to your career.

Entry-level cybersecurity roles in this track have an average salary of $93,250, so know that this is a fair salary if you transition into a cybersecurity role.
