You'll usually need relevant pre-entry work experience to get a job. However, there are a number of graduate schemes and internships (at student and graduate level) in cyber and information security which don't require pre-entry experience. Many companies now require cyber security professionals to have a bachelor's degree, but some companies hire candidates with certifications for various positions. If you have a background in technology or have prior security experience, you may be able to obtain an entry-level job with the right certification. Another good way to gain experience as a cyber security expert is to attend workshops and take courses aimed at improving your overall knowledge of the subject. The more you read and learn about the cyber security industry, the better equipped you will be to answer interview questions and apply the knowledge learned through coursework.
