Over the years, cybersecurity career paths have become more formalized as security incidents have increased and the skills required to keep companies safe have become more specialized.

As a result, the cybersecurity field offers distinct career paths with milestones to be met and requirements to fulfill.

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) International developed a career path diagram for security professionals, called the Cyber Security Career Lifecycle (CSCL). The five-step model helps aspiring and professional security experts chart what education, experience, and certifications they will need to progress.
