Because the role is unusually versatile, a security analyst enjoys many career development opportunities than any other cyber security professional. They can choose to become more or less technical in their future positions given they are qualified.
Some very common future career paths for security analysts might include: penetration tester, senior security analyst, security engineer, security manager, security architect, security consultant, and security operations center analyst. The degree of technicality on these titles depends on the job opening itself and might vary even within the same organization.
Further steps usually require specializing in one the above professions and get promoted to their senior positions. A few examples might include: senior penetration tester, security operations center manager, incident response lead, security program administrator, and lead consultant. The demand for these positions continues to grow and senior opportunities keep on emerging. The top of the ladder positions a security analyst can aim for are security director and chief information security officer.
