Thinking of a career in cybersecurity?

Cyber Security is an expanding field and an increasing number of people and businesses need your help.

AustCyber has published an in-depth report that details the projected demand for cybersecurity professionals in Australia.

The bottom line is that if you know the fundamentals and have a useful skill, you are in demand right now and will continue to be in demand in the future.

We are all still learning in this field. And it will keep changing. You can start at the beginning and you will gain knowledge and skills that can be put to good use to help yourself and others while you learn.

There is no single best path. I would encourage anyone who wants to learn about cybersecurity to jump in and start by doing a free course. (there are plenty) The worst case outcome is that you will gain some vital skills and the best case outcome will start your journey into an exciting career in a growth industry.

If you have learned a little bit already and you are ready to take the next steps to get into the industry I recommend you talk to people in the following organisations for advice.

Australian Women in Security Network

Australian Information Security Association

WithYouWithMe

If you are really ready for an entry-level role in the industry and would like to start our Cybersecurity Analyst course please send me a message on LinkedIn.

Good luck
