FAQs

Can I transition to cybersecurity without a technical background?

Yes, many roles don't require advanced technical skills: GRC analyst, compliance consultant, security awareness, cyber project management, audit. Your previous experience (legal, finance, communication) is an asset for these positions.

How long does it take to transition to cybersecurity?

Timeline varies by profile: 3-6 months for technical IT profiles, 6-12 months for non-technical profiles. Our coaching accelerates this process by avoiding common mistakes and targeting opportunities suited to your profile.

What certifications do you recommend for beginners?

For technical profiles: CompTIA Security+ or CySA+, then CEH or OSCP. For GRC profiles: ISO 27001 Foundation, then CISM or CRISC. We help you choose the optimal path based on your goals and budget.

What salary can I expect after transitioning?

In France, a cybersecurity beginner earns €35-45K/year. After 2-3 years: €50-65K. Senior/expert positions exceed €80K. Internationally, salaries are often 30-50% higher. Demand exceeds supply, pushing salaries up.
