Our reading, not an official link
Nobody official states this link. It is our reading of what the CAF's occupation page says the job trains. Ask a recruiter before relying on it.
Our reading, not stated by the CAF: the page's roughly 12-month Kingston course lists information systems security, server administration and advanced routing and switching among its topics, while the related civilian jobs it names are administrator, analyst and network technician roles, not security roles.
See the Cybersecurity specialist career guide for pay, outlook and the civilian route in, and the military matching toolfor other careers. Joining an occupation does not by itself earn a civilian licence. Entry, medical, security and service-length requirements are the CAF's to state: check forces.ca.
