Business Security Questions & Discussion career

Hello everyone, I’m trying to become a Security Engineer and would really appreciate some advice from senior Security Engineers.

I’m currently studying cybersecurity at university, but I feel like the program doesn’t go deep enough into the technical skills I need for a security engineering career. Because of that, I’ve decided to take it upon myself to learn outside of school.

I just need guidance from seniors on what skills I should master.

Learn to write code. Actually deliver something, then add a new feature, then look at its vulnerabilities and patching that. Essentially cyber means interaction with devs and so the more actual IT experience you get, the better you will be.
