1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:06,930
By far, the most common questions I get around starting a career in cybersecurity and or ethical hacking

2
00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:12,540
and how this course will help in securing a great job, well, so it's true.

3
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:17,470
Jobs in cybersecurity can be very exciting, rewarding and well paid.

4
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:23,820
I've certainly loved working in security, hacking into systems and defending them against active attacks.

5
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:31,190
So it is worth considering a career in cybersecurity if of course, cybersecurity does interest you.

6
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:35,100
If we look here, we can see the this is for the US.

7
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:41,010
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that an information security analyst, which is an example

8
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:47,670
of a job, the average sort of job in cybersecurity, earns nearly 100000 dollars per year.

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,050
So, you know, you are well paid and it's a fun job.

10
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:56,760
And the other great news, if we go to job outlook, scroll down a little bit here.

11
00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:04,140
Employment of information security analyst is projected to grow 32 percent from twenty eighteen to twenty

12
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:04,770
twenty eight.

13
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:10,800
So much faster than the average for all all the occupations, i.e. there are loads of jobs.

14
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:19,010
So the same statistics bear out for all developed countries to so well-paid jobs, lots of jobs available.

15
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:25,890
The cybersecurity unemployment rate was a zero percent in twenty nineteen where it has been for the

16
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:27,480
last eight years.

17
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:35,760
There is predicted to be three point five million unfulfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021, up from one

18
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,490
million positions in 2014.

19
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,150
And these jobs very well paid.

20
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:45,150
As I've shown, it's also often claimed at the cybersecurity industry.

21
00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:47,910
Is recession proof, recession proof Korea?

22
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:49,920
Well, I guess we'll see on that.

23
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,750
And many roles like penetration testing, ethical hacking, they can be done remotely to.

24
00:01:55,020 --> 00:02:00,810
So really, it's never been a better time to start a career in cybersecurity, which is why I get so

25
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:05,580
many questions about careers in cybersecurity and ethical hacking.

26
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:15,510
So what I did was I put together a great guide, which is here on how to start a career in cybersecurity,

27
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:22,890
covering all the common questions I get and are asked every day because there are some legitimate barriers

28
00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:30,120
to entering the industry, like just where to start, what courses to take, what certificates are important,

29
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:32,160
how to gain experience and so on.

30
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:39,780
And I cover all the solutions to securing a great job in my guide and how this course that you're taking

31
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:43,020
fits into this overall picture for you.

32
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:49,860
You can find the cybersecurity guide, obviously, at this you Orell, or you could just simply Google

33
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:53,850
Station X Career Guide and you'll just find it is the one at the top.

34
00:02:54,090 --> 00:03:00,660
The guide has just been updated for this year and has so far been downloaded by half a million people

35
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:01,530
in the last two years.

36
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:02,970
So that's really great.

37
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:05,430
But still, there's loads of jobs out there.

38
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:10,830

We certainly do need the people in the industry.

44
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:35,700
There's a gap and there's a problem for the world, essentially, because we haven't got enough people

45
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,850
to help secure systems and organizations.

46
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:40,230
