A recent new item in Consumer Reports caught my eye.
"U.S. companies will spend more than $130 billion dealing with data breaches this year, according to a study by the cybersecurity research firm the Ponemon Institute."
Over the last few years, there has been a steady increase in cyber attacks and breaches. Organizations have started to admit the fact that they are being attacked on a regular basis. Newspapers carry regular news items that show how vulnerable organizations and individuals are to such attacks.
So, apart from the people who did the bad thing, who else benefits from this?
Obviously, it benefits a whole group of people who helps these companies and individuals do the clean-up work. From the people specializing in the corporate communications, people involved in providing legal advice, people involved in forensic investigations, people involved in fighting these cases in court, and people involved in making sure that such incidents don't happen again.
Now, for folks looking for jobs and looking to enter these fields, it is a great opportunity to master these skills.
Some of the hot skills, companies in US and other parts of the world looking for are:
- E-Discovery
- Forensic investigation
- Incident Response
- Malware Analysis
- Incident Monitoring
- Security Operations
