A new study by CyberSN warns that the overall number of cybersecurity job postings in the US decreased by 22% from 2022 to 2023. The CyberSN report draws from over 140,000 monthly cybersecurity job postings across 45 functional cybersecurity roles over the past two years. The cyber job platform provider added that this decline is alarming and could impact national security, as some of these roles are essential for maintaining organizational and national cyber defenses. The most significant decline is in research roles, which saw a general 69% drop year-on-year between 2022 and 2023. According to CyberSN, this suggests a move away from proactive threat analysis and mitigation... #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #infosec #hiring #jobs

I share Ira's thoughts. The message about cybersecurity--or information security, as I still prefer calling it--workforce shortage is biased, to put it nicely. This doesn't mean there isn't work to be done; the basics, as I said in another post, still need attention. Thing is, the basics aren't fixed by or at cybersecurity, as it's more a coach and an advisor than an active doer--a function who's job is to wake up those who fell asleep. This is not entry level stuff.

To all the people contacting me about advice for entering the cybersecurity profession, here is my advice: Don’t. Seriously now isn’t the time. I have twice as many experienced #cybersecurity professionals who have been either laid off or are actively looking for other positions and can’t find anything. You would do better looking for positions in other technical fields than a niche specialty of cybersecurity. The cybersecurity skills shortage is pure hype at this point unless you have some very specific skill sets. #cyberjobs

This post from Ira is controversial but has some merit. If you are just getting into cybersecurity because you read exorbitant salary surveys you may be disappointed. But if you have a passion for cybersecurity and want to stop attackers you will be fine in the long run. Here’s my advice: * Look at the jobs descriptions. Hone the most in-demand skills and understand which jobs are most in demand and paying the most. * Start in IT, help desk, security product support, software engineering,cloud engineering, or QA to learn how systems, people, and processes work. Move into cybersecurity from there. * Build an online portfolio of cybersecurity research. * Give presentations, write a blog, and study communications. In many cybersecurity jobs communication is very important. * Find a niche where you can be an expert in a topic early in its lifecycle or where there’s is less demand. Consider how quantum computing will break encryption. If you like math become a cryptography expert. Understanding drone jamming and prevention will be important to the military. Hardware security is another niche. If you choose a niche be highly specialized- one of the best. * Military and government jobs will likely always be available and you can learn a lot. Everyone is going after the flashy corporate jobs. * Banks generally have the biggest security budget but you’re going to be going up against the masses for entry level jobs. * Consider starting at a smaller company and working your way up. * Build a network. Security is a field of trust. If people don’t trust you, then you won’t get hired. To trust you, they need to get to know you. That’s why moving from a different job internally may be easier.

It’s rough out there on the cyber side folks. - Lots of people are unemployed - Lots of people are unhappy - Layoffs are almost becoming desensitizing. Imagine that for a second, instead of being in shock when it happens… we just “click through it” like a pop up. - Proliferation in the market drives need down. Desperation of survival drives the ability of employers to ask ludacris level skills to be present. Remember, you don’t join cyber for the money. You have to have a #purpose. You need to be on a mission that can take a beating. “Damn dude, today was rough! But, I’m going to keep going for reason x.” Keep going. Just be hyper vigilant of the changes going on around you. #cybersecurity #markettrends #keepgoing
