Network security talents will be hard to find, with a gap as high as 95%
In the past, when many government and enterprise units divided IT departments and positions, they only had R&D and operation and maintenance departments, and security personnel directly belonged to the basic operation and maintenance department; It is necessary to set up an independent network security department, attract security talents from all parties, and form an SRC (Security Response Center) to protect and escort its own products, applications, and data.
In just a few years, network security engineers have not only become a regular army, but also directly become a national strategic resource, becoming a scarce resource that many companies "hard to find".
According to the "Internet Security Report" released by Tencent Security, the supply of cybersecurity talents in China is currently severely lacking. Every year, only more than 30,000 talents are trained in security majors in colleges and universities, and the gap in cybersecurity positions has reached 700,000, which is as high as 95%.
There are many security job options, high salary and benefits, and good development prospects
Network security talents are engaged in a variety of positions. In terms of job setting, there is a big difference between government and enterprise organizations and security enterprises: the needs of government and enterprise organizations mainly focus on security management, security operation and maintenance, R&D and testing, penetration testing and vulnerability mining. , emergency response, CSO and other positions. Security companies are mainly engaged in R&D and testing, security services, sales, pre-sales, after-sales, security management, product managers, security analysis, marketing, CIO/CSO and other positions.
Network security has risen to the national strategy, and relevant policies have been introduced one after another
In March 2020, 360 disclosed the APT advanced persistent threat attack by the US CIA Central Intelligence Agency on my country. my country's aerospace, scientific research institutions, oil industry, Internet and government agencies have been targeted for 11 years.
In February 2020, when China's new crown epidemic prevention was in progress, the Indian APT hacker organization used the theme of the new crown pneumonia epidemic to create bait documents and launched continuous threat attacks on Chinese medical institutions to obtain new medical technologies and medical data.
With the implementation of the national new infrastructure strategy and the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and 5G, an endless stream of new hacker attack methods has also followed, and numerous government units have been targeted. Stolen or leaked personal sensitive information. The construction of cyberspace security is urgent and has become the top priority of national security construction.
Cybersecurity is an important part of the national security system, without cybersecurity there is no national security. The continuous implementation of a series of policies/regulations/standards such as "National Cyberspace Security Strategy", "Cyber Security Law" and "Network Security Level Protection 2.0" has gradually become an important consensus among government and enterprise organizations. .
