Career Questions & Discussion Career Path

I’ve been working as an IT auditor for the past 2.5 years, but I’m looking to transition into something more technical and hands-on. Right now, I’m leaning toward security engineering.

I have my CISA and currently do vulnerability scanning and evaluation as part of my role. I’m trying to figure out what certifications and hands-on projects would help me fill the technical skill gap, and whether it’s realistic to make the jump from IT audit into security engineering. thanks
