Skills Jeneva recommend having as a SOC analyst include:

1. Having analytical skills to be able to approach problems from multiple angles.
2. Always researching and learning new information, building the natural curiosity that when you see a problem or a new technology, you naturally go to find the answer.
3. Keeping up to date with IT Security trends.

Jeneva acknowledges the following trends coming to light in the near future:

• Cyber will become more involved in our personal and business lives. Looking at where the digital world is now, most of our critical systems are interconnected by computers. In the future, this connection will be stronger, and more decisions will be automated
• Our personal lives will be dependent on virtual assistants, and IoT connected devices will be part of almost every function of our daily lives
• Personal data will reside in cloud computing, where we don’t fully control the dataflow and access to information
