Anything remotely technical. Remember, we wouldn't be having this conversation if Equifax wasn't making embarrassing amateur mistakes with everyone's personal data. Their CSO appears incompetent.

Which qualifications does a "remotely technical" degree meet to operate security at Equifax that a "non-technical" degree does not?

You imply that Music is a non-technical degree, which is arguable, but it's certainly an Arts degree rather than a Science degree. If that's the distinction by which you draw the line, you're wrong to do so. If you reject job applicants to a technical role on that basis someday, that's more overlooked high-value opportunities for others to hire instead :)
