Why Cybersecurity?
CompTIA writes in its blog post that cybersecurity jobs will increase exponentially. CyberCrime Magazine reinforces this by stating that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs worldwide by 2025, moving the unemployment rate to 0%. Indeed, the numbers of data breaches have increased dramatically in recent years, confirming the progosity of job needs.
According to StepStone, the average starting salary of a cybersecurity analyst is between EUR 42,000 and EUR 66,000, rounded, which puts the median value at EUR 54,000.
The result of the Bitkom study establishes that there is a shortage of over 137,000 IT specialists in Germany alone. The shortage includes IT security experts in large numbers. StepStone alone suggests over 40,000 results under IT security.
You don't need an IT background to become a Cybersecurity Analyst. Many skills are transferable - you just need to be willing to learn.
Why exactly are companies looking for you?
