To secure regular clients and sustained employment as a Cyber Security Consultant, you will need to boast a bachelor’s degree in the field of cybersecurity. However, as with many professions, employment prospects will increase if you boast further educational certifications. Some of the most valuable industry-recognized qualifications include:
- CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker.
- CISM: Certified Information Security Manager.
- CompTIA Security+
- CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
- GSEC: SANS GIAC Security Essentials.
In addition to the certifications that can help you stand out from the non-certified consultants, you should have experience of working in the field of cybersecurity. The more companies you’ve worked for, the better.
