Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field (preferred).
Relevant certifications (CompTIA Security+, Network+, Cisco CCNA, or similar).
Experience with security tools and platforms (such as firewalls, endpoint protection, MDR/EDR, or monitoring tools) is preferred.
Experience working with RMM/PSA tools (such as ConnectWise) and security platforms (such as Guardz, Meraki, or SentinelOne) is a plus.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for clients.
A proactive, "threat-hunter" mindset-you don't wait for problems; you look for weaknesses before they become risks.
A passion for staying up to date with the latest cybersecurity trends and technologies.
