What Intrusion Detection Analyst skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Jesse Varsalone: Obtaining additional industry certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), and OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) can make you a more valuable employee. If you are focused in an area like SOC (Security Operations Center), you can make yourself more well-rounded by learning a different role such as penetration (pen) testing. Adding an additional sector of cybersecurity will make you a more valuable asset to your present company and help you understand your current work role even better.
