Key competencies of a cybersecurity expert

A cybersecurity expert must have certain knowledge and skills. Only in this way can they act as a solid shield, capable of repelling any external attack. Let's look at the most important ones.

Having a certified expert team and specialists

An expert partner in cybersecurity must possess certifications and specializations that validate their skills and knowledge. This includes having a team composed of specialists in key areas such as digital forensic analysis, risk management, and network security. The combination of experience and certifications is a guarantee that an effective response will always be provided against cyber threats.

Access to cutting-edge technologies

Another fundamental trait of an expert in cybersecurity is knowing how to leverage the most advanced technologies in the field. It is expected that they have cutting-edge tools, such as IBM Qradar, a security information and event management system, or SIEM by its acronym in English, which allows for real-time threat detection and response. The use of these tools, combined with the team's knowledge, offers robust protection against external threats.

Proven experience in incident management

The experience in managing security incidents and emergency response is another essential skill. In this regard, it should stand out for the use of collective intelligence and its own use cases. Only in this way does it have the ability to anticipate and face threats. This is possible thanks to machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions, with which the expert analyzes the cases of all their clients and establishes action protocols that cover many scenarios.

Deep understanding of data protection and privacy regulations

This implies being aware of regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation, known as GDPR, in the European Union, in addition to other equivalent regulations. Complying with these regulations is essential to ensure the security and privacy of confidential information of users and customers.

Recognized Certifications in the Field of Cybersecurity

The certifications recognized in the field of cybersecurity, such as CISSP, CISA, or CISM, are indispensable for an expert in this area. Only in this way is the advanced level of knowledge and skills confirmed, as mentioned in the first point. Having these certifications provides an additional guarantee of the team's competence and ability to resolve any incident and, more importantly, to prevent it before it happens.

Ability to Develop Customized Security Strategies

In this case, we are talking about understanding the specific needs of each organization and designing solutions tailored to their operations. Only a personalized approach ensures that security measures are effective and consider the possible attacks that are specifically designed against the organization.

A team in constant development with strong investment in R&D

If the landscape of solutions continues to advance, the field of cybercrime is not far behind. Therefore, this approach allows the expert to stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in cybersecurity, effectively combating even the most novel attacks.
