Cyber security is a gigantic field of study, I’ve come to known a lot of people that are so different from anyone else and we are still combined in the cyber security career. You can think of someone methodical that needs to have everything in order and set in place and you would have a compliance auditor for standards such as PCI, Security Management Programs, etc. And then you could think of the opposite type of person, a more messy mind and personality, tons of different ideas per minute, everything out of its place (because it doesn’t have a “place”) and you’ll have in front of you a good penetration tester.
Those are two basic (over exaggerated) examples that I could think of. Personally, I am kind of in between those types and have been a pentester for around 7+ years. I think the important “skills” needed for cyber security (and basically any job or career) is attitude. You MUST HAVE attitude to learn, to discover, to go deeper, if you don’t understand a concept, research it, research how it works, how is it built. That set of skills is so important, because it won’t let you stay outdated and that is a major must in this field.
