Transferable Skills (Often already possessed)
Transferable skills are skills from other areas that can apply to different careers.
- Communication: Clearly explaining technical information to non-technical audiences (e.g., explaining policies, reporting findings to supervisors).
- Collaboration: Working effectively in teams with individuals from diverse backgrounds (engineers, investigators, project managers).
- Analysis: Evaluating complex scenarios and making data-driven recommendations (e.g., suggesting tools to improve network security).
- Problem-Solving: Identifying, diagnosing, and resolving security issues; understanding threat actor trends to prevent future incidents.
Technical Skills (Developed through learning and practice)
- Programming Languages: Basic understanding of languages like Python and SQL to automate tasks and analyze data (the certificate program provides training for those lacking prior experience).
- SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) Tools: Using SIEM tools to detect, analyze, and respond to security threats and vulnerabilities.
- Computer Forensics: Investigating digital evidence within networks and devices to analyze security incidents (similar to forensic science in criminal justice).
Key Message
The video emphasizes that many individuals already possess the necessary transferable skills. The certificate program focuses on developing the essential technical skills, encouraging continuous learning and intellectual curiosity for success in the field. The program specifically uses Python and SQL as examples of skills it will teach.
