Question

Pick one area of security that interests you and discuss the career opportunities that presently exist.

How important is a college education in obtaining a position as a security manager?

Answer 1

Communication security is a very prominent area in security that interests me because this area has not been paid much attention in the recent past and a lot of instances of breach are observed regarding this.
Plethora of career opportunities exists in this area such as:
•   Data expert
•   Communication channel operator
•   Team lead in security department
•   Area wise manager
•   Content executives
All these roles actually deal with some or the other department of security breach in communication and each one plays a major role in ensuring that data and content are shared and circulated within predefined guidelines.
A college education is a must in obtaining the position of a security manager as the candidate is then well versed about the terms and concepts of security and some sense of understanding and maturity gets in the person which helps them to excel in their career. Hence a formal education in the art and science of managing security operations is a must to help both the employee and the organisation as a whole.
