As internet security expands, I am sure more and more jobs become available. I think this is a good area for younger people to focus on when getting training, certification, and degrees as we expand in the tech sector.
What are some security jobs that you know of that people can get a degree or certification for?
There are so many out there that I would have a hard time listing them all. Off the top of my head, here are the ones that I know of:
- Security Analyst
- System Security Specialist
- Vulnerability Analyst
- Risk & Cyber Security Manager
- Security Engineer
- Information Security Analyst
- IT Auditor
Risk assessment jobs are growing so I think anyone is wise to get into that field. They pay VERY well and most companies are in need of them. Well, any company that runs online in any capacity should have a team of people dedicated to preventing security threats and hacks.
There are three different tiers for this. There are other jobs as well that have been mentioned but I will post the tiers below to give you an idea...
Tier 1:
SOC Analyst
Pen Tester
Security Engineer
Incident Responder
Cybersecurity Specialist
Tier 2:
Information Security Analyst
Security Administrator
Artificial Intelligence Security Specialist
Cybersecurity Threat Attribution Analyst
Cryptographer
Tier 3:
Application Security Administrator
Artificial Intelligence Security Specialist
Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Analyst
Incident Response Manager
Security Manager
@johnnywiz This is something I was not aware of. Like there being different tiers for specific security jobs. I thought it was just for basic IT support. Some of these titles I have never even heard of.
