Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted.
Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic

Many of these jobs do require computer science/programming skills but the Universities are just now coming into that but from what I can tell it's still very much cyber security/information assurance vs coding.
Only your true programmers will shell out 2500.00 or more for an ISACA cert. I've been an ISSO for around fifteen years now and working on a Masters in a similar field and do not wish to do pentesting but can do physical security/ end user and sys admin cyber training, systems security as far as defense but it seems many businesses are wanting the all in one. I'm sure there are a few out there but they command a much higher salary than I'm seeing advertised.
Why not have the CISO and then branch out from there, for your policy, defense, pentest, ISSO.
