CYBERSECURITY OPPORTUNITIES

As technology pushes further, so does its uses. Many of the applications of today's technology are very sensitive, making security an always evolving concept that moves and grows as technology does. As a result, studying cybersecurity is the only way to understand and take advantage of the opportunities that the field has to offer. A degree in cybersecurity opens up many doors for an aspiring student, with the large array of skills and specializations that a cybersecurity student can pursue. Many new and growing job fields, such as security engineer, cyber legal advisor, or cyber defence analyst, suit themselves best to a cybersecurity graduate. Even those pursing some more traditional computer science positions, such as software engineer, IT, or tech R&D, find themselves able to apply the skills they learn earning a cybersecurity degree.

The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Framework, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and hosted by the Department of Homeland Security, outlines a standardized group of terms to describe cybersecurity and the people working in it. It describes the wide array of specializations a cybersecurity student can decide to focus on, including analyzing cybersecurity data, collecting and using cybersec data, investigating digital crimes and events, maintaining or administrating digital security, identifying threats to security, and building secure systems. All of these paths offer a deep and in depth learning of their field, as well as a wide array of career opportunities. To find out more, visit the NICE Framework.
