Do I need to learn programming for cybersecurity?

Programming is helpful but not required for most entry-level cybersecurity roles. SOC Analysts, GRC Analysts, and cybersecurity sales professionals rarely write code. Roles like Penetration Tester, Security Engineer, and Detection Engineer benefit significantly from Python and Bash scripting. Start your career without programming, then learn scripting as your role requires it.
