Are you looking to distinguish yourself from your technical colleagues as a business-savvy cybersecurity professional?
Or are you interested in transitioning to a cybersecurity career?
Perhaps you are kickstarting your cybersecurity career and looking to boost your chances of landing an entry-level cybersecurity role?
We designed Cyber Resilience Fundamentals Pathway (CRF) to help cybersecurity professionals accelerate their non-technical skills and to help aspiring cybersecurity professionals (recent graduates or career-changers) quickly transition into this critical sector, regardless of their age, background or experience.
The CRF lays a solid foundation to turbo-charge your career.
It also helps technical professionals clearly articulate cyber risk and strategies to decision makers, boosting their credibility, expanding their influence, and enhancing their careers while pushing them upwards.
DEMAND FOR SKILLED CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONALS CONTINUES TO RISE
The onslaught of damaging cyber-attacks, tightening data protection laws, and rising customer expectations continue to push the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals. Over an eight-year period tracked by Cybersecurity Ventures, the number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs grew by a staggering 350 percent, from one million positions in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2021. This growing demand was echoed by the World Economic Forum, which underscored the urgent need to close the current cybersecurity skills gap to help protect critical assets.
As the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals rises, so do cyber salaries. According to Indeed.com, a career development company, the shortage of qualified cybersecurity experts is pushing salaries well into six figures.
But as demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals rises, two key obstacles remain.
- The majority of aspiring cybersecurity professionals simply don’t know where to start. Most so-called entry-level or bridging cyber courses are too technical, time-consuming, and expensive for professionals still trying to find their feet in the industry.
- Additionally, as cyber quickly transitioned into a broader business matter, most technical cybersecurity professionals were caught unprepared. Many are constantly struggling to articulate cyber risk and strategies in clear business terms, failing to make an impact with business stakeholders and derailing their careers.
THE CRF HAS BEEN DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOU ACCELERATE YOUR CYBER CAREER
We have created this short and intensive online training course to bridge these critical gaps. The CRF doesn’t replace technical cybersecurity certifications; it complements them.
After completing this self-paced, online course, you will:
- Develop an in-depth understanding of key cyber risk drivers and their implications for broader business goals.
- Develop a thorough understanding of five critical domains that underpin a high-impact cyber resilience strategy. Topics include strategy design, supply chain security, cyber risk oversight, secure-by-design, and cultural transformation.
- Understand how business leaders make quality decisions under pressure by watching a simulated cyber crisis response exercise involving cyber leaders from multiple industry verticals.
Armed with these new skills, you will be able to differentiate yourself as a business-savvy cyber professional with more than just technical skills.
