    Rise in cybercrimes

    Cybersecurity and its growing importance

    With a rise in cybercrimes, jobs in cybersecurity will also skyrocket. Find out more about this lucrative career and your roles and responsibilities as a cybersecurity expert.

    There are many different paths you can take in cybersecurity. You can specialize in network security, application security, data security, or other specific areas. No matter what specialization you choose, you will need to have strong technical skills and a deep understanding of how to protect information.

    Cybercrime has grown exponentially over the last decade, and it's only getting worse. The internet is a global network of computers that can be accessed from anywhere in the world; this means that cybercriminals can potentially target anyone with an internet connection. It's also important because cybercrime will grow at an alarming rate if we don't take steps to protect ourselves and our data.

    With greater access comes greater vulnerability: anyone with an internet connection can be targeted by cybercriminals who have no qualms about stealing your personal information or hacking your devices. Cybersecurity is necessary because these criminals continually look for new vulnerabilities to exploit. By taking steps to secure our networks and devices against cyber threats, we can ensure that no one ever has to worry about becoming a victim of identity theft or other forms of digital crime again.

     

    Stopping hackers

    What does a cybersecurity expert do?

    Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting information systems from cyberattacks. It's an industry that's constantly evolving—and it's becoming more critical every day. Cybersecurity professionals use their knowledge and skills to detect threats before they can be executed against your company or clients' systems. They work with IT administrators, developers, and other technical professionals to stop hackers before they can do damage.

    Skills required

    Training for a career in cybersecurity 

    • Develop a security program based on risk assessment and understanding of the organization's business practices.

    • Review information about network vulnerabilities and potential attacks to determine appropriate solutions.

    • Responsible for all aspects of cybersecurity, including incident response and threat monitoring.

    • Monitor the organization's network to detect malicious activity or new threats and then analyze them.

    • Review security changes for effectiveness.

    The many advantages of a career in cybersecurity 

    If you have the passion and skillset for cybersecurity, then a career in this field is worth considering. Here are some reasons why:

    • There is a huge demand for cybersecurity professionals - As mentioned earlier, the need for cybersecurity professionals is skyrocketing. With the number of cyber attacks on the rise, businesses and organizations are scrambling to beef up their defenses. This has created a massive demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals. There are several reasons why the need for cybersecurity jobs has increased in recent years. Firstly, there has been a marked increase in cyber attacks. As more and more businesses store data online, hackers have opportunities to access this information. Secondly, the cost of these attacks has also increased. A single cyber attack can cost a business millions of dollars in damages, which is why organizations are willing to invest more in cybersecurity. The nature of cyber-attacks has also changed. In the past, most attacks were focused on disrupting or stealing data. However, there is a growing trend of “ransomware” attacks, where hackers hold a company’s data hostage until they are paid a ransom. It is an effective tactic as it can result in financial and reputational damage if the company’s data is released.
    • Cybersecurity is a well-paid career- Cybersecurity professionals are handsomely rewarded for their skills. In fact, according to Payscale.com, the median salary for a cybersecurity professional is $92,000 per year. With the right skills and experience, you can easily command a six-figure salary in this field. In addition, the job market is expected to grow by 15% over the next decade, so there will be plenty of opportunities for qualified applicants to enter this field.
    • Room for growth - Cybersecurity is still in its infancy, so there is plenty of room for growth. However, as businesses and organizations become more aware of the importance of cybersecurity, they will invest more resources into this area. This will create even more opportunities for skilled cybersecurity professionals. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, AI in cybersecurity jobs is expected to grow by 14% from 2016 to 2022. The BLS predicts that there will be more than 2 million job openings by 2022, which is expected to increase by 10% over the next ten years. In addition to traditional computer science degrees, students should consider taking courses in information technology management or networking engineering to prepare for this fast-growing field.
    • Create an impact - Cybersecurity professionals play a vital role in protecting businesses and organizations from cyber attacks. Keeping companies safe can have a huge impact on the economy and society as a whole.
    • You can work anywhere - The demand for cybersecurity professionals will grow significantly in the coming years. According to a recent study, the global cybersecurity workforce will need to grow by nearly 3.5 million by 2025. This growth is driven by the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks.

    As we progress in this digital age, cybercrimes are bound to grow. To combat this problem, cybersecurity job openings will rise, making it a career of the future.
