How to be Workforce Ready and Standout with Cybersecurity Hiring Managers Millions of job opportunities are available worldwide for qualified cybersecurity professionals. What’s one major must-have for those seeking to fill the vacancies? Academic, technical and leadership skills, together, that set you apart. Regent University’s Institute for Cybersecurity, home to one of the nation’s most sophisticated commercial cyber ranges, is uniquely qualified to prepare cybersecurity students to enter the workforce as professionals who are ready to confidently and expertly take on the daunting task of preventing cybercrime, which is predicted to cause more than $6 trillion in damages within the next three years. The Triple Threat in Cyber Skills: Theory, Hands-On Learning, Communication Skills Regent’s cybersecurity program is built on professionally focused coursework that provides the technical, academic and leadership skills needed to turn the heads of hiring managers. Cheryl Beauchamp, Regent’s department chair for engineering and computer science, is one of the world-class educators who shepherded the program from its inception to its designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
“The development of professional skills is core to our cybersecurity program. Our courses not only introduce current theory and relevant issues, but they also provide opportunities for students to work on collaborative projects that give them hands-on experience that will be invaluable when they enter the workforce,” she said. The ultimate goal of Regent’s cybersecurity program is to graduate well-rounded cybersecurity professionals who are equally as comfortable on the frontline of defending assets and information as they are walking into the boardroom to present jargon-free assessments of vulnerabilities and strategic plans to combat them. While not required to earn a degree, Regent encourages cybersecurity students to earn professional certifications, such as the Certified Cyber Practitioner, to get ahead of the game. Many organizations, especially in the government, require them. A degree, plus those credentials, make Regent graduates the triple threats of the applicant pool in that they have mastered theory, applied it with hands-on learning on the live fire range, and gained practical communication and professional skills. “Many of our students take advantage of our certification preparation courses to round-out their competitiveness. Graduating with certifications under their belt is another way to make them stand out as professionals,” Beauchamp said. Leveraging Competitions and Access to Experts Participating in events such as the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition and the National Cyber League Competition provide Regent’s students with another venue to hone their professional skills. “These are tremendous opportunities for the students to work on communication, collaboration and team-building skills,” Beauchamp said. “It also gives them the opportunity to meet students at other universities and network with industry professionals who are looking for recruits,” she said. Regent University is strategically situated in Virginia Beach, Virginia, part of the East Coast’s epicenter of military presence and takes advantage of the opportunities afforded by that. “Given our location, we can draw upon local, private, government and military cybersecurity experts to interface with our students,” Beauchamp said. “Through our cybersecurity forums and conferences, we’ve featured some of the country’s leading experts who share their knowledge and offer insights into what it’s like to work for entities such as the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command.”
