Topic Abstract:
In a study conducted in 2019, it was identified that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021. The severe talent shortage in the cybersecurity field is mostly due to the lack of qualified staff. But there is also a combination of experience versus accreditation. In many scenarios, for the professional to even be considered for a position, some minimum requirements must be met apart from work experience and formal education. My talk is going to focus on the following insights:
- Cybersecurity degree is an investment in your long term career
- Academic degree versus professional certification
- The ramifications of cybersecurity job and the skill gap that you must fulfill
Learn what the job market has in store for you and how a cybersecurity degree brings you hands-on skills and knowledge mapped to various job roles.
