Evidence over pedigree

Skills-based decisions widen the view of cyber talent

Job titles and traditional career paths do not capture every source of cybersecurity capability. A skills-based approach makes the required work clearer, recognizes adjacent experience, and gives organizations more context when they hire, reskill, redeploy, or build a talent pathway.

  • Define the capability

    Start with the work and proficiency the organization needs, not a copied job description.

  • Recognize adjacent skills

    See relevant experience from IT, risk, operations, military service, or another pathway.

  • Build or place talent with context

    Use evidence to support hiring, development, redeployment, or partner decisions.
