Build your credibility through education and industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+ that demonstrate your skills against a recognised standard, and develop your understanding of cybersecurity standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001.

Gain practical experience through work experience, internships and junior positions to build real-world expertise to compliment your training and skills.
Remember, patience and persistence are essential when trying to break into a new field. Be open to learning new skills, stay informed about the latest threats and security trends, and be prepared to adapt as the cybersecurity landscape evolves.
