To help close the workforce gap, (ISC)2 launched the Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) entry-level certification. With no experience required, it opens opportunities in the field to a much broader range of candidates, including recent graduates, career changers, and IT (Information Technology) professionals. In addition, CC starts newcomers on their path to advanced cybersecurity certifications like the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CompTIA Security+, and other future leadership roles.
