TOP 5 CYBER SECURITY JOBS MOST COMPANIES DEMANDS IN INDIA

In India, the requirement for experienced Cyber Security professional is on the peak, and IT companies are willing to pay quite a good amount to the professional, salary ranging from INR 1.5 Crore to INR 4 Crore, given the person is talented enough. It, of course, increased Cybersecurity whole budget by at least 71% according to PwC. Though there are several other working areas also in IT Sector, e.g.-network administrator, software developer, or any other common/mainstream work profile- but Cyber Security jobs are more in demand, while being less in number, but of greater importance. As work economy- based on cyber- gets advanced, threats and attacks in Cyber Security area also grow, which in turn make organizations and our digital world quite vulnerable and exposed.

An organization/company must secure their data and protect the information related to their work, customers, clients, and maintain the confidentiality of matters. So to do so, businesses hire full-fledged team on Cyber Security to safeguard their data, apart from the protection they are receiving from the police department of the city.

But then again, it isn’t an easy task to find highly skilled professionals, as there’s a short of supply. As per NASSCOM, records of 2018, it is said that India sorely needs a minimum of 1 million Cyber Security professionals by the year 2020, wherein the hike in this department hasn’t been of that height. Companies like KPMG have doubled the size of their cybersecurity teams in recent years.

The need for Cyber Security has been raising due to these factors:

  • Digital India and demonetization: According to Ashok Pamidi, Sr. Director of NASSCOM, our government’s initiatives like Digital India, and Demonetization, have really forced companies towards digital modifications as per new world’s requirements, and in doing so have made these organization vulnerable to cyber attacks and threats. So all in all, this led to a great demand for cybersecurity professionals who can help attain the digital transformation without compromising their security.
  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Although the GDPR didn’t go into effect until late in May 2018, companies across the world have been preparing to safeguard their database from cyber crimes and comply with GDPR rules, even before that. It has driven a need for cybersecurity experts to a different level.
  • Aftermath of WannaCryransomware: Sometime back in May 2017, government agencies and even private organizations across the world fell prey to the WannaCryransomware, which infected over 200,000 computers in 150 countries in just three days. According to the latest numbers, it led to the damage of approx hundreds of billions of dollars. The attack launched a debate on the vulnerability of data and the pressing need for stronger cyber laws and security systems. It has also caused many organizations to be more aware of the perils of cybersecurity loopholes and take steps to safeguard their organization from future attacks.

What does this mean for Cyber Security professionals?

It is the shortage of Cyber Security Trained Professionals that is of bigger concern, and not the actual demand of them. Because they should also be capable enough to fill this growing demand for Cyber Security related roles in the industry. NASSCOM reports that despite having the largest IT talent pool in the world, India lacks skilled cybersecurity professionals. And this is one the major reasons as to why companies now are ready to pay these professionals quite a huge salary, of up to INR 4 Crore, or even more in some cases- led to an increase in the all-around budget of India’s Cyber Security Industry/Department, according to PwC 2016 report.
