ASSESSING FACTORS, DESIRABLE CHARACTERISTICS, AND COMPETENCIES

Cybersecurity experts handle network and IT infrastructure protection differently. They must not only understand how to secure a network from unauthorized entry but also recognize how the security measures they implement can be bypassed. They must operate as both ethical and unethical hackers on behalf of their company.

This dual responsibility necessitates an individual with expertise and understanding that extends beyond the usual scope of conventional business practices. Candidates who have experience in penetrating systems may offer perspectives that other candidates lack — evaluating the value of such experience for your organization will demand thorough research and diligence.

Nevertheless, irrespective of proficiency or experience, all cybersecurity professionals will encounter setbacks during their profession — every network will suffer a breach and this is an inevitable circumstance. The crucial aspect to seek in a candidate is how they handle such setbacks. The ideal approach is to document, analyze, rectify, and learn from the issue, yet not everyone is adept at managing all facets of this response. Identifying and engaging candidates capable of providing this professional response should be a priority.
