Essential skills for a cybersecurity engineer include a deep understanding of network security, proficiency in programming languages like Python, C++, and Java, and experience with security protocols and tools such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Additionally, knowledge of ethical hacking and a familiarity with regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) are highly valuable.
To evaluate a cybersecurity engineer's expertise, ask detailed questions about their past security projects, including specific challenges they faced and how they overcame them. Techtrust will work with you to develop a custom live-coding assessment, including elements like a penetration testing exercise or a code review.
Best practices for integrating a cybersecurity engineer into your team include providing thorough onboarding that covers your company’s specific security needs and protocols. Encourage collaboration between the cybersecurity developer and other IT staff to promote knowledge sharing and ensure security considerations are embedded in all tech-related projects.
The average salary for a cybersecurity engineer varies based on their experience, location, and the specific security skills they possess. Generally, cybersecurity roles command higher salaries than many other tech positions due to the high demand and critical nature of security expertise.
