From IT to Project Management and Back Again

Nightengale has also been hard at work outside of the office, pursuing a master’s degree in cybersecurity management and policy at the University of Maryland University College. With decades combined as an IT pro and project manager, he’s accumulated knowledge of how systems work from every angle. In building this knowledge, he’s assessed where the need is greatest – and now aims to focus on the area where the tech knowhow is most critical and the stakes are highest.

“[Cybersecurity is] a field that’s not going away,” Nightengale said. “It’s more of a problem now than ever before with all the cybercrime going on.”

If Nightengale moves into a more cybersecurity-focused role, he’ll undoubtedly be exploring higher-level CompTIA cybersecurity certifications to hone and validate his skills. And as he takes the first steps down his own new path, he has advice for others.

Whether someone is interested in cybersecurity, project management or any other of the myriad fields that IT touches, Nightengale advises CompTIA certifications as a great starting point.

“It’s going to be a great addition to any resume for anybody,” Nightengale said.
