1 Share of the embedded systems security engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT disaster recovery analyst profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A embedded systems security engineer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a ICT disaster recovery analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT network security risks
  • cyber attack counter-measures
  • define security policies
  • identify ICT security risks
  • information security strategy
  • manage IT security compliances

What stands in the way is 24 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A embedded systems security engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT disaster recovery analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held define security policies management skills
  • already held cyber attack counter-measures services
  • already held identify ICT security risks information skills
  • already held manage IT security compliances working with computers
  • already held organisational resilience business, administration and law
  • already held ICT network security risks information and communication technologies (icts)

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the embedded systems security engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
