Cybersecurity Careers - One of the Biggest in Demand Careers of the Future

Cybersecurity is quickly becoming a hot issue. The term itself is relatively new. Many colleges and schools may still list their cybersecurity degree programs under more general terminology like network security, computer systems analyst, information security, IT or even criminal justice. We predict that CyberSecurity will be one of the biggest and fastest job growth areas in the coming decade.

With so much of the worlds information infrastructure dependent on computers and the Internet, the Cybersecurity industry is set to see massive growth. Governments and businesses will have to devote substantial portions of their budgets to protecting their computer systems and data.

Cybersecurity has been ignored for too long and there is going to be a lot of catching up to do. This means jobs. Lots of jobs. Those who prepare themselves for cyber security careers now will likely be in great demand in the future.

Cyber crime is growing rapidly. You have areas like identity theft and financial fraud. You have more advanced and dangerous areas like corporate espionage, cyber-terrorism and even cyber-warfare. You also have hardware and software problems that can cause data loss and security issues. Computers break. Connections break. Software breaks. When this happens, someone will have to know how to recover and restore corrupted or lost information and data.

This means that cyber security careers will be available in local law enforcement, federal law enforcement, the military, utility companies and homeland security. CyberSecurity careers will also be available in the corporate world with almost any kind of business you can think of. Medical records, eCommerce data, banking information and even small mom and pop businesses will all need cybersecurity workers.

Some of these positions will only require a minimal amount of training such as a certification or an Associate Degree. Others will require a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate in Cybersecurity. There will probably be a shortage of these types of workers for several years to come. That means qualified and trained people should be able to pick and choose the jobs with the best pay and the best working conditions. If you think this may be the career for you, start looking at career colleges and exploring the various specializations of study this field has to offer.
