  1. Should I Study Cyber Security?

  2. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of cybersecurity headlines. Cybercriminals steal customer social security numbers, steal company secrets from the cloud, and grab personal information and passwords from social media sites. Keeping information safe has become a great concern for both big and small businesses.

  3. With more and more companies entering the e-commerce ecosystem and adopting new technologies like cloud computing, the threat from imminent security breaches is clearly demanding the need for efficient information security systems. The rising threat from cyber-attacks has exposed a severe shortage of talent in this sector. As per 2015 figures reported by Nasscom, India needed more than 77,000 white hat hackers as against only a mere 15,000 certified professional ethical hackers in that year.

  4. What is Cybersecurity? According to Cisco, cybersecurity refers to all techniques used to defend computer systems, networks, data, and programs from unauthorized access, attack, or damage. Forbes projects that the global cybersecuritymarket will reach over 170 billion by the year 2020. The sudden growth in this market has been fuelled by different technology trends, including initiatives that have evolving security requirements such as BYOD (bring your own device) and IoT (Internet of Things), stern data protection policies, and adoption of the cloud. As the world continues to become digitally connected, cybersecurity cases will only increase. The reliance on digital technology has led to high demand for cybersecurity experts. Therefore, if you want to join a career where you will enjoy job security and work in different industries, cybersecurity is the place where you should be.

  5. Important Hard and Soft Cybersecurity Skills Technology is dynamic and it is evolving every now and then. Like computer systems, networks, and software become more complex, businesses are always looking out for skilled cybersecurity experts. Some of the skills employers are looking for include: Intrusion detection Powerful backdoor codes and Trojans are always looking to steal important information by penetrating through the security perimeter. A single data breach can cause business millions of dollars in the form of compensation and fines. Therefore, businesses need trained professionals who can use the latest intrusion detection software

  6. Programming skills As a cybersecurity professional, you will need to understand basic programming languages to help you gauge the possibility of an attack on an organization’s systems and develop counter-measures. Programming knowledge won’t only help you to fight threats but also help you develop stronger contingency plans. Some of the programming languages you should have a grasp of include C, C++, Perl, PHP, and Java to help you understand the backend of a system. Additionally, you should have sound knowledge of virtualization software, management of operating systems, administration, system architecture, and networkin

  7. Ability to think like a hacker The best way to make your house theft-proof is to hire the best thief in your area. Similarly, for you to be able to secure a company’s systems, you should be able to think like a black hat. Ethical hacking is becoming more popular because it’s more important to anticipate a cyberattack instead of doing damage control after an attack.

  8. Collaboration According to a recent study conducted by CompTIA, 49 percent of IT and business executives in the U.S. alone ranked teamwork as the main soft skill that IT professionals should possess. Knowing how to navigate difficult conversations and complex projects with others from the CIO to end-users is an important soft skill that every cybersecurity worker should possess.

  9. Strong research and writing skills Policy creation and enforcement are one of the major tasks that cybersecurity employees take on. In recent research, CompTIA discovered that approximately 45 percent of HR managers have a policy development and implementation skills gap. A company of any size needs some form of a security plan that includes all incident response protocol, end-user guidelines, and governance structures. For you to be able to establish sound policies, you must be well-equipped to conduct research into the best practices and learn how end-users use technology and combine this information into a thoughtful policy.

  10. Signs that you will find a Home in the Cybersecurity Field Recent headlines describe the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals and the shortfall of qualified experts. In fact, CSO projects that by the end of 2019, there will be 6 million cybersecurity job openings, but there will be only 4.5 million qualified cybersecurity experts to fill those roles. If you’re thinking about joining this field, here’s how to determine whether cybersecurity is the right career choice for you: You’re a digital native: If you spend most of your time using computers and you have basic knowledge on how computers and networks work, then you will fare well in this field.
