Hello,

 

I am looking to make a career transition to Cybersecurity. Can you please provide suggestions based on where the market demand is the most, which area(s) of Cybersecurity should I learn and get what kind and from where can I get the corresponding certification (s) that are highly regarded by prospective employers? Will be very thankful for the advice.

 

I did my MS in Computer Science in 1990s and been out of technology for many years. 

 

Thanks so much in advance.
