Hello ISC2 Community,
I'm reaching out for advice and support as I transition more deeply into the cybersecurity field, aiming to grow into a Security Analyst role.
I’m based in Latin America (Brazil ) and currently work in IT with experience in:
System monitoring and technical support across enterprise environments
Hands-on activities with infrastructure and user access
Foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles and operational security
Recent projects involving security tools and Microsoft cloud services (Azure, M365 Security)
To strengthen my knowledge and commitment to the field, I recently earned the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) credential, focusing on core areas like network security, incident response, and risk management.
My goal is to pivot into a fully dedicated cybersecurity role — ideally as a SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst — and I'm particularly interested in remote opportunities that accept professionals from the LATAM region.
I’d greatly appreciate:
Advice from others who made this career shift from IT to security
Insights on how to best position myself for remote cybersecurity roles
Any resources, mentorships, or communities focused on helping Latin American professionals enter the global cybersecurity workforce
Leads on companies hiring remote junior or entry-level security analysts
Thank you in advance for any guidance or opportunities you’re willing to share. I'm excited to keep learning and contribute meaningfully to the field.
Best regards,
Pietro Vieira
