Need some skills

Looking into getting skills in cloud computing, and network security. These would mesh well with an accounting background, right?

Cloud computing is a big thing right now with ERP providers. It isn't so much about accounting itself though, but I think accountants who focus on rigorous internal controls to help get good data will do well.

Tell me more about your background. Do you have any computer skills now? Have you programmed before? What's the most complicated system you've used or more specifically administered? Why do you want to be in the cloud computing security world?
Critical thinking is more important than your background in my opinion but our accounting department can barely turn on a computer but I know other guys who are very tech savvy from that field.

We have several people with accounting backgrounds who enter through business intelligence. Tableau is popular in the enterprise. There is a lot of interest in becoming skilled in Power BI from Microsoft. It's got an inexpensive entry point and it's available in the cloud.
You might want to get a Security + or other baseline security cert. Just something that demonstrates you care and have an understanding of security. Security's focus is more than just networks and firewalls. Physical, procedures and plans for everything.
