Yesterday we posted about Steve Gibson recounting his efforts to foil hackers who demolished his site's security measures. It is timely that ZDNet has this news about IT's current hottest job - the Information Security Professional.
How bad is the dearth? Lee Kushner, CEO and founder of L.J. Kushner & Associates LLP, an executive recruiting company specializing in information security, estimates that the number of unfilled jobs requiring skilled security professionals is between 25,000 and 50,000 in the United States alone.
Many point to this lack of trained security personnel as the cause of increasing numbers of successful hacks and intrusions, the costs of which a recent Computer Security Institute/FBI survey reported as being up nearly 50 percent over last year.
For those who are taking up some IT education and don't know where their niche is, being a security expert might just land you a good-paying job today. Check out the full details at ZDNet.
