Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, GIAC, or equivalent are desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative, and comfortable influencing decisions at all levels. Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to balance security, usability, cost, and delivery priorities are essential.
