Exploring Cybersecurity Career Paths (For Both Non-IT & IT)
There is a myth that the domain of cybersecurity is particularly for people from an IT background. But in reality, students or professionals from non-IT backgrounds too could enter and build a successful career in the domain. There is no denying the fact that the cybersecurity sector demands strong technical know-how- but with the right training and courses, aspiring cybersecurity professionals from non-IT background can also make it big in the ethical hacking or cybersecurity domain.
In the light of the massive layoffs across almost all industries, professionals from all backgrounds (including non-IT) are looking for a domain that can offer them a rewarding job and future-proof career. The domain of cybersecurity comes as a saviour here; the digital security industry ensures excellent job security with 0% unemployment rate. If you want numbers, well, cybersecurity job openings have grown by a mammoth 350% between 2013 and 2021, and the numbers are only growing.
The workshop is designed to share industry insights into how students and professionals from both non-IT and IT background can build a flourishing career in the cybersecurity sector.
