3 tips to make your cybersecurity CV stand out

1. Quantify risk reduction

“45 critical vulnerabilities fixed, attack surface cut by 30%” says more than “performed penetration tests”. Risk avoided is your best argument.

2. Put certifications up front

In cyber, certifications (OSCP, CISSP…) are ATS filters and a level marker. Place them visibly, with the issuer and year.

3. Specify your scope

Tier-2 SOC analyst, web pentest, ISO 27001 compliance: a precise title avoids confusion between very different cyber roles and improves matching.
