I'm in the Cybersecurity industry and there is a huge deficit in qualified people. We have many positions open, some have been open for ~6 months or more. I have companies and recruiters calling me every damn day.
I had trouble getting work just because I love the area we're in and didn't want to move to a big city. I was VERY close to migrating to DC to get a job when I got one in Charlottesville, so I could stay in the Shenandoah Valley. Beautiful area, terrible IT job availability.

Same for South Louisiana. Instead of using specialists, companies required to have an IT security program use server/network admins. While we have enough knowledge to get by, it's tough to stay ahead of the curve when this is only part of our job.

What would be the best way to break into cyber security? I'm new in the IT world (about 4 years) and have a degree in IS with a specialty in networking, however I haven't obtained any of my certifications yet. Cyber Security was always an interest of mine.
Do you have any idea what certs I should go for first?
