People currently working in cyber risk - Looking to switch from DT audit into DT cyber risk after one busy season as a senior. Not because I don’t like audit but I want a more dynamic career than just being an accountant. What skills should I have/what can I specifically to prepare for this type of role? Certifications (e.g Security+)? Just want to start planning how I can set myself up best for a transition. Also, is there a time of year when most people leave and there are more job postings?

Check out the Cyber group “Application Security.” It’s the most business process focused of the groups, and you’ll find plenty of accounting backgrounds and/or ex-audit employees who have transferred into it. Didn’t seem like a hard switch for the ones I know that have done it.

Yes but that group is highly political at Deloitte. It impacts the projects you are selected for and you promotions. They have favorites and if you are not one then it could be problematic. In addition much of their work comes as a by product of other areas.

Are you a senior in Audit or IT Audit? I’m assuming audit since you say accounting. But you’d probably need some exposure and understanding of IT before jumping straight from Audit to Cyber Risk, since you’re skipping IT Audit and going straight to Cyber. IT Audit to Cyber seems to be more common.

Just audit and not IT audit. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done - plenty of people start in Cyber Risk without previous experience except university.

Just learn the basics from the Sec+ and then network. The main difference in work is that it's no longer going to be following stuff from last years audits or whatever, cause now it's consulting so you gotta be more dynamic like you said.

Currently stuck in risk but interested in Cyber. Have done one related engagement from a regulatory perspective. But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated
