When listening to Nicole Enesse’s description of a cybersecurity analyst, there were a few social behaviors that could be tied to the requirements of the job. One of the most important was ‘continued learning’. I’ve heard this adage used before, but in different words. My dad always instilled in me “being a lifelong learner”. Meaning, that you won’t know everything, you aren’t perfect, but you should always try and better yourself, one of those ways is through education. Cyber threats, attack vectors, and defensive strategies rapidly shift, so having the ability to actively seek knowledge is paramount. Another social behavior that can be identified would be being a ‘team player’. Working as a unit is essential in the creation/maintenance of any project. A practical example of this would be CTF events. A capture-the-flag event (in cybersecurity, at least), is a kind of digital geocaching. There is seldom a single individual that can do all the work on their own, and know all the answers. (Unless they have a cheat sheet!) At my last CTF, my team was able to collaborate and “fill in” each other’s technical gaps, allowing us to get 3^rd place. Cybersecurity, despite being extremely technical, has an outsized social aspect that results in certain social behaviors being necessary for the line of work.
