The questions we are asked
Can I move from physical security to cybersecurity?
It is a frequent and logical transition: risk analysis, access control and incident handling are the same practices applied to another terrain.
Do I need to be an IT specialist?
The track itself lays the necessary systems and networking foundations. Risk culture and rigour count at least as much.
Does the sector recruit outside large companies?
Yes: any organisation handling customer or patient data has the same need, whatever its size.
