Career Opportunities for Information Security Professionals
Global Scenario
“Cyber Security Need Drives IT Job Growth
“New research has found that job openings in the ield of cyber security have grown by more than 100 percent in the past year. Those openings are only expected to grow in the coming year, jumping an additional 30 percent in 2014. The demands for security workers points to the importance companies are placing on responding to the growth of recent attacks on businesses of all sizes.” - Business News Daily “The Army is building a new cyber command centre at Fort Meade to eventually house 1,500, leading a worldwide cyber corps of 21,000 soldiers and civilians. By 2017, the Air Force will add more than 1,000 uniformed cyber forces to its 6,000 experts now working at the Air Force Space Command. The Navy had 800 cyber security staffers in 2013 and will reach nearly 1,000 by 2017, working toward a mix of 80 percent uniformed personnel and 20 percent civilian employees and contractors. The Marines currently have 300 uniformed personnel, civilians and contractors at work, and plan to increase that number to just fewer than 1,000 by 2017.” - Capital Business Indian Scenario National Cyber Security Policy 2013: As per this Govt. of India policy document, there will be a requirement of 500,000 professionals skilled in cyber security in the next 5 years. Also the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology will encourage all organisations, private and public to designate a member of senior management, as Chief Information Security Of icer (CISO), responsible for cyber security efforts and initiatives. “Analysts said that India currently has around 22000 certi ied cyber security professionals, which is signi icantly lesser than the requirement of 77000 personnel. The current number is miniscule when compared to the nearly 25 million cyber warriors in China. According to recent data, India would need 4.7 lakh cyber security professionals by 2015 to protect its IT infrastructure”.
Even in the most dif icult of economic times, IT security is a full-employment ield. With the growing number of threats on the horizon, and the growing awareness of cyber security vulnerabilities and issues . inside the enterprise, it is clear that security will be a top priority for the coming year and likely for years to come Job Opportunity for Cyber Security Professionals in various departments of different sectors: • Corporate (Information Security, Compliance, IT&IS Audit, Software Development etc.) • Banking, Finance and Insurance Sector (IT and Data Security, E-Commerce and Net-banking Security, Compliance, Information Risk Management, IT&IS Audit etc.) • Defence and Police (R&D, Investigation and Forensics, IT Infrastructure Security etc.) • Governance (E-Governance, Public Key Infrastructure Management, Forensic Science Labs etc.) • Legal Department (Cyber Forensics Consultants, Cyber Law Expert, Expert witness etc.) • Cyber Fraud Consultants / Management (Ethical Hacker, Penetration Testers, Cyber Fraud Detectives)
