Cybersecurity Analyst resume keywords
Certifications, frameworks and the security tools you've run, with what you found and fixed. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.
Licenses and certifications
- CompTIA Security+
- Certified Information Systems Security Professional
Tools, systems and languages
- Tenable Nessus
Skills and methods
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- Vulnerability Management
- Incident Response
- Risk Assessment
Domain knowledge
- Security Information and Event Management

How to use them
- Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
- List certifications by full name and acronym in a Certifications section: "Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)"
- State a clearance precisely: level and that it is active
- Name the product, not the category: "Splunk" and "CrowdStrike Falcon", not only "SIEM" and "EDR"
- Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
