    The Big World of Cyber Security Careers

    By Anistar Technologies | Careers, Employee Resources, Security | Comments are Closed | 20 June, 2019 | 1

    It seems like we hear about a new cyber threat or data breach every day. With that in mind, it’s no surprise to find out that cyber security opportunities are plentiful worldwide. While it’s possible to just jump into a cyber security career with some experience and an associate’s degree, most companies will require more education. There’s no indication of the outlook of cyber security contract jobs slowing down any time soon, so here are some points to consider if you’re thinking about getting into the industry.

    Degree Requirements

    You don’t necessarily have to have a bachelor’s degree specifically in cyber security, but some sort of IT-related degree is required. However, degrees in cyber security range anywhere from associate’s degrees to even Ph.D.’s. Each level of education is focused specifically to help students with a certain cyber security career path, so some research is necessary to ensure you’re pursuing the career you’re interested in. Plenty of certification courses are available as well to narrow your focus.

    Cyber Security Career Paths

    There are cyber security contract jobs available in a variety of industries. Some of the most common jobs and titles include:

    • Information Security Analyst
    • Security Architect
    • Security Systems Administrator
    • IT Security Engineer
    • Penetration Tester
    • Forensic Computer Analyst
    • IT Security Consultant

    It’s important to take a look at each of these job descriptions closely to see what type of work is generally done, including the hours, travel and more. There are plenty of cyber security opportunities available, so when you take the time to research them you’ll have a better chance of starting a cyber security career you can sustain for a long time.

    Average Salary and Future Career Outlook

    Careers in IT are potentially lucrative and a cyber security career is no exception. Depending on what type of cyber security work you’re interested in, a salary in the range of between $80,000 and $150,000 is possible. These are median career averages of course, but this gives you an idea of what you can look forward to. With the future outlook of cyber security opportunities looking very promising, now is the time to get started if you have any interest at all in the field.
