Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
An Associate's degree in a related field is listed as a requirement, but the posting explicitly states that additional years of experience may be substituted — degree requirement is therefore treated as None.
Network+ and CCNA are presented as interchangeable alternatives ('Network+ or CCNA certified'); Network+ is listed as the primary with CCNA as an alternative.
ITIL Foundations is a hard gate but candidates may obtain it within 60 days of hire rather than at time of application.
Fidelis and proxy are mentioned only in the narrative responsibilities section describing tools in use, not in the qualifications block — treated as preferred context rather than hard gates.
The alt SOC (15-1244) was considered because the role includes LAN/WAN and Microsoft server administration duties, but the primary focus on security monitoring, incident triage, and intrusion detection places it more squarely in 15-1212.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
