What types of entry-level cybersecurity roles are there?

What types of entry-level cybersecurity roles are there? There are several type of entry-level careers or roles in cybersecurity. As students in cybersecurity, I think it's important we expose ourselves to the different types of careers, even if we are just beginning out. I think it will help us understand where we want to go within the industry and what we want to do as we advance further into our studies.

I briefly outline the overall responsibilities and goal of each entry-level role in cybersecurity.

Today I talk about six types of entry-level roles:
- Security Analyst (2:00)
- Security Auditor (3:33)
- Security Specialist (4:37)
- Incident Responder (5:26)
- Penetration Tester / Ethical Hacker (6:23)
- Vulnerability Assessor (7:49)

These entry-level roles are common, but not limited to only six.

Keep in mind, I am not an expert. Depending on the company, these entry-level roles may vary in titling.
