Security News > 2022 > November > A roadmap to better cyber security training

You need to upgrade your CV to show some knowledge and experience of systems, tools and frameworks that your current role doesn't require but the next step up the ladder does.

That's where the SANS' new job role roadmap comes in, designed to let students explore common career paths in cyber security and point them to the specific training courses which can help them get there.

You can view courses and certifications which are most likely to be needed for your current job role, or one which you hope to land in the future.

The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education has established a cybersecurity framework designed to help employers bring out the full potential of their workforce by defining a standard set of common function categories, speciality areas and work roles.

So workers certified as competent in areas like incident response, vulnerability assessment, risk management, test and evaluation and digital forensics for example, as well as higher level functions like operational planning and executive cyber leadership, can make sure they have the skills that public, private and academic organisations commonly recognise as essential to the role.

The full SANS cybersecurity courses and certifications by job role roadmap - which covers everything from baseline skills, to focus job roles and specialised capabilities - is available to browse here.
