How to become a Security Auditor

Question

I have read that Security Auditor is a mid-level job profile. Which means that I should first start working as an entry-level employee and then get promoted to become a Security Auditor. But I don't know which are these entry-level roles. Which job profile should I start working if I eventually want to become a Security Auditor?

Answer 1

Yes, you heard it right. As you have mentioned, Security Auditor is a mid-level job and to become a Security Auditor, you'll have to start working as an entry-level role and then get promoted. The entry-level jobs you are looking for are:

• Security Administrator
• Network Administrator
• System Administrator

These jobs will give you good exposure to security issues. Then get some certification and you may get promoted to become a Security Auditor
