Master of Science in Cyber Security Like many other jobs in the technology industry, you may start a career in cybersecurity with just a few professional qualifications and a lot of experience. At least for entry-level positions; however, you'll find that you quickly encounter a ceiling if you want to work as a cybersecurity analyst or technician in business, government, or finance. Experience facilitates growth, but a higher degree, combined with the more extensive study and training it requires, is a more certain path to advancement.
