Naomi Buckwalter, director of information security at Energage analyzed one thousand random information security job posts on LinkedIn. The most notable trend she found was that 43% of the posts had CISSP and 5-year experience requirements for entry level positions. Are companies trying to lowball cybersecurity professionals, or do they simply not know what an entry level cybersecurity job is. Check out this post for the basis for our conversation on this week’s episode which features me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series, co-host Allan Alford (@allanalfordintx), and our guest is Joseph Carrigan (@JTCarrigan), senior security engineer at Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute, and co-host Hacking Humans podcast.

On this episode of Defense in Depth, you’ll learn: • There has been an ongoing trend for companies to post "entry level but experience required" job listings for cybersecurity professionals. • This is self-defeating for companies because the positions don't get filled. And for true entry level people, they get discouraged. They feel it's impossible to get into the industry. This can drive them away from cybersecurity which hurts the entire industry. • Others would argue that we shouldn't even have this conversation because there is no such thing as an entry level position. Like there are no entry-level doctors. You must have some type of training or experience to do this job. • There's no doubt that CISOs fight more for headcount than they do overall dollars. And if they get a limited headcount, they're going to want to get as much talent as they possibly can with that limited number of positions they can fill. • Security is a layer on top of IT, engineering, or development. For that reason it can be seen as mid-level experience or above, simply because security is a specialization. • Is this behavior of shooting so high for an entry-level cybersecurity role causing the cybersecurity skills gap? • Best way to prove your value to a hiring cybersecurity professional is to setup your own home lab. • The skill that is hard to put on a resume or to explain in a job listing is non-linear thinking. But that's essentially what you're looking for with an entry-level cybersecurity hire.
