How to leverage your IT Helpdesk experience to move into cybersecurity
I coach and mentor a lot of people to help them get into Cybersecurity and today, I want to talk about a person .. let's call him John
John is one of the most technically proficient people I know
He has amazing technical skills and knowledge of endpoint solutions
But John feels that he is not “good enough” for Cybersecurity.
Why ?? Because John currently works in the IT helpdesk function of a large company
There is a perception, unfortunately, that IT Helpdesk personnel only know how to close tickets and fix low-level problems, and Cybersecurity is too “high-level” for them.

The skills and experiences acquired in their current roles can be incredibly valuable for IT Support professionals looking to move into cybersecurity.
In this article, I want to highlight the essential skills IT support personnel can leverage to jump into Cybersecurity.
