Networking & Security: Strong troubleshooting skills in TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN configurations, firewalls, and routing protocols.
Cloud & SaaS Platforms: Administration experience with enterprise cloud suites (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, or Azure basics).

ITIL Framework: Strong understanding of ITIL processes, particularly Incident, Problem, and Change Management.
