Cyber Security

I am currently about to study for a degree in Cyber Security, however, I have a criminal record dated back to 2005 for fraud and dishonesty I would like to get a job as a Cyber Security Analyst does my record exclude me from working in the field?

Unless you can make it disappear (in Canada there is a process called Pardon) that could make your criminal record disappear. I would seriously consider going to another domain. Fraud and dishonesty could restrict you so much in this domain. -

Was it a conviction for a felony or just a misdemeanor? Or were you only arrested and charged but never convicted?

In Cyber only criminal records related to hacking activity seems to be acceptable.
If you can wipe out the conviction - theoretically why not, however you may be asked this question number of times in cyber security careerI'm just doing my job, nothing personal, sorry
40+ certs...and I'm not counting anymore
