The 3 Biggest Problems Breaking into Cyber Security

Most cyber security training focuses on tools and tactics, but the highest-paid professionals understand the business side. They know how security actually works in organisations and their vulnerabilities.

Entry-level jobs want 2+ years experience. Junior roles expect senior-level skills. You’re stuck in an endless loop of “not qualified enough”.

The Experience Paradox

Everyone has the same certs. Employers want proof you have the skills and can do the job. Technial training rarely shows how security actually works in real business environments.
