Hi, looking for some advise/direction. I am an information security professional with 10 years of experience mainly in IT audits (internal as well as external). Have ITGC and SOC expertise. I am looking to move into CyberSecurity space and obviously not getting any leads/interview calls. What certifications/projects can i do to help make the switch?

CISSP. By the time you finish the preparations for this certification, you would have turned your Info Sec skills into those of a Cyber Sec guru.

If you are looking for a position in Security Operations, get a cert like Security+ now (CISSP once you have 5 years experience) and make sure your resume speaks to any tools, tech or processes that you are familiar with. Use a web based training platform (Cybrary.io) to gain insight into SIEM, MDR, email security gateway systems, vulnerability management, event monitoring, and Incident response procedures.

If you’re looking for a Security Engineer position, you should already have significant SOC experience. Reputation and networking will help open doors.
