    All Cyber Security Candidates Need to Understand These Programming Languages

    By Anistar Technologies | Candidates, Careers, Employee Resources, Technology | Comments are Closed | 19 July, 2018 | 1

    As a cyber security professional, you have to possess a wide variety of skills. Some of the most basic skills are learning and comprehending different programming languages. Any cyber security positions require you to know exactly how certain things work in IT, and programming languages are the basis of this knowledge. This doesn’t mean you have to be an expert in one particular language, or even knowledgeable in all languages. However, gaining a comprehensive understanding of programming in general will give you the skills to know how to do your job effectively. Here are some of the most important programming languages you can consider becoming an expert in to give you the best chance at landing the cyber security opportunities you desire.

    JavaScript

    JavaScript is one of the most important programming languages since it makes websites easier to use. And since it’s one of the most common languages, hackers are always going to target websites with it. Hackers will typically do XSS attacks on websites, so cyber security professionals have to know the ins-and-outs of JavaScript in order to prevent such attacks from occurring and solving the problem quickly if an attack happens.

    Python

    Most people who have cyber security contract jobs have a working knowledge of Python. It’s fairly easy to learn, and it’s used frequently when performing malware analysis. And since it’s one of the easiest programming languages to learn, many people looking for cyber security opportunities will start with Python as they begin their journey of becoming a well-rounded professional.

    PHP

    Having PHP knowledge will help cyber security positions focus on providing security to web applications and websites. Since the vast majority of websites use PHP for coding, you need to have a good understanding of it to find the best cyber security opportunities.

    C

    Most operating systems and frameworks use C. This programming language is used for almost anything related to coding, so having at least a general knowledge of how it works and what it’s used in will make your skillset more well-rounded.

    SQL

    Since SQL is a common programming language, it’s important for cyber security professionals to understand it in order to protect websites or applications. The reality is many websites are vulnerable to SQL attacks, so having this knowledge will make you a more valuable asset when looking for cyber security positions.

    At Anistar Technologies, we want to help candidates find the right fit for their career. We will understand your specific skill set and match it to exactly what a company is looking for. And if you need a better understanding of certain skills in order to get the cyber security position you desire, then we will guide you on the right path to get it. We are more than just another staffing agency, and we want to prove it to you. Be sure to contact us to learn how we can help you find the right opportunities for your career.
