4 In-Demand Cybersecurity Skills That Will Help Get You Hired


There are an estimated 469,930 cybersecurity job openings in the United States — and you might have the skills necessary to fill one of them.
As tech continues to transform our lives, more people are needed to defend these technologies and keep up with their advancements, says Okey Obudulu, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Skillsoft, the company that owns Codecademy. “The blatant attacks on companies’ networks have led more and more companies to really get serious around the demand for cybersecurity professionals,” he says.
Cybersecurity is an umbrella term for protecting computer systems, networks, people, and organizations from online threats and bad actors. The roles within a cybersecurity team range from Penetration Testers who hack into an organization’s network to uncover vulnerabilities, to Incident Response Analyst who are essentially detectives who solve crimes with digital data.
A lot of cybersecurity professionals get their start in other technical jobs, like Software Developer or Network Administrator, explains Ricki Burke, founder of CyberSec People, a global cybersecurity recruitment and staffing company. With the right cybersecurity skills on your resume, you can feel confident about breaking into the industry.
