Opening Doors to Cyber and Homeland Security Careers
Law enforcement, public safety and homeland security professionals depend more and more on information technology and a secure digital infrastructure. Consequently, the demand for strategic cyber security experts with the necessary understanding of policy and procedure is growing rapidly.
According to the US CERT, the transformative nature of cybersecurity work is providing for varying career paths – establishing a workforce with different educational backgrounds, an interest in innovative problem-solving, and a higher-than-average percentage of young professionals. Cybersecurity professionals thrive in an informal atmosphere of casual dress, unconventional working hours, and shifting work responsibilities aimed at keeping knowledge fresh and work exciting.
