Professionals looking to work as security analysts need to have a technical and analytical profile at the same time, explains Foster. He says that the security area is one of the most delicate and, perhaps, the most difficult in technology. For this reason, before going to the security area, what is recommended is that the professional goes through other areas of technology, such as development, support, networks and cloud computing, for example.

For Foster, it is very important that those interested in the security career have a college and after the traditional course, seek national and international certificates. "Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certificates are very valuable to the market," he advises.

Learning the English language is also highly recommended by the executive. In the technology area, the Python programming language is a strong trend that can make life easier for the security analyst, even if he is a professional with little contact with programming. "It is very important that the professional knows how to develop to automate some routines and processes in case he does not find an application on the market” he explains.

Rafael Foster, says that when he decided to go to the security career, he didn't have many specific courses in the area, so he studied Computer Networks at the Catholic University of Santos, but as soon as he graduated, he sought a specialization in security management from information.
