    Cybersecurity Careers: A Student Roadmap

    Categories: Cybersecurity Bootcamp

    Today, skills gaps and increased digitization mean it’s a great time to start a cybersecurity career. Our guide to cybersecurity careers provides insight into the education and the skills you’ll need to break into the field. We’ll examine why cyber careers are in demand, a day in the life of a cybersecurity professional and how you can take steps toward the cyber position you deserve.

    Whether you’re an aspiring cyber professional or a recent graduate, cybersecurity is an excellent career with a high salary to match. Let’s outline the best ways to get there.

    What is cybersecurity?

    Cybersecurity professionals look to prevent data breaches through a variety of digital security measures. They ensure security software is up-to-date, creating programs to mitigate the risk of an attack and mitigating risks and damages after attempted breaches do occur.

    According to IBM, the average data breach in the United States costs an estimated $8.64 million, given the cost for breach discovery and resolution, and any lost revenue or damaged company assets.

    While many believe that cybersecurity attacks are only directed towards major corporations, researchers have actually discovered that three in five companies have been affected “by software supply chain attacks in 2021.”

    In short, cybersecurity is an indispensable field that can save companies of all sizes time and money.

    Why are cybersecurity careers in demand?

    How Can a Bootcamp Improve My Education?

    Categories: Online Certificates

    When you're looking for a more affordable, convenient way to get an education, an online bootcamp is often the perfect solution. Flexible, convenient and affordable, bootcamps teach students the skills that today’s employers seek.

    Bootcamps have exploded in popularity in recent years, and for good reason — they offer many benefits that traditional education doesn't.

    In this blog post we'll define what a bootcamp is, discuss the main similarities and differences between bootcamps and a traditional college education and identify some concrete ways that a bootcamp can improve your skillset and deepen your education.

    What is an online bootcamp?

    An online bootcamp is a short-term, intensive educational program that focuses on teaching students the practical skills they need to succeed in their chosen field.

    The aim of an educational bootcamp is to get you up to speed in your chosen field as quickly and efficiently as possible.

    By contrast, traditional education models often emphasize theory over practice, and can take years to complete.

    The primary benefit of choosing a bootcamp over a traditional college education is the time commitment.

    While a four-year degree can take upwards of eight years to complete if you factor in taking classes part-time, most bootcamps can be completed in a number of weeks or less.

    This condensed timeline means that you can get started in your chosen field much sooner.

    Another major benefit of bootcamps is that they are typically geared towards practical, hands-on learning. This emphasis on real-world applications can give you an edge over your traditional college-educated peers when it comes time to enter the workforce.

    So if you’re looking for a quicker, more efficient way to get started in your career, a bootcamp may be the right choice for you.
