With over hundreds of new devices connecting daily, the world’s population compared to the Internet has increased by almost 700%. The ever-growing Internet allows people to communicate and share information in new and better ways. But it also allows the access of sensitive information to hackers and thieves. Since every company has an online presence (or runs online entirely), IT security staff’s need has increased. Therefore, it has become increasingly difficult to keep customer and company data safe with new threats sprouting up daily. So, corporate security teams are rising, creating a new IT security job.

It is not as simple as knowing how to create a secure password to land a job in IT Security. Here are the top 5 things you need to know when looking for an IT security job

Certification

Certifications play a significant part in any security professional’s position. Some certifications are vital by security staff, and hiring managers may search for different certifications on resumes. Various certifications are available, ranging from necessary to advanced topics and are offered by multiple companies and organizations. Sectors like healthcare need their own safety certifications in addition to general security certification.

Internal Security Actions

An IT security job role is not always to keep just products secure. Most security teams have to ensure the safety of both their workers and the clients of the company. Employee security has a direct bearing on customer information security. Mainly because customer data can be easily accessed if attackers target employee emails or internal networks. The software is designed to help secure the use of your product to a consumer. There is also a need to take internal security into account.

Mobile Devices

Although mobile devices make our lives simpler, new security threats emerge as well. Mobile devices (not just cell phones, other devices such as a tablet or a laptop) pose various security team challenges. Besides the risks of physical security, mobile devices have certain limitations, making it easier for attackers to succeed. For all IT security jobs, mobile-specific vulnerabilities are essential to know whether an organization is developing a mobile app.

Growing your Skills

Each different security role and particular industry will have its own skillset requirements. There are plenty of skills that you can build up before you land a job. The information on the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is one of the most common skills among security experts. SAML can be learned quickly, and most software supports it as a service business.

Always Analyze

Whilst being analytical is a skill you can grow to work on, analyzing security trends, and data deserves their own callout. Security personnel are continuously looking into the details. Learning how to detect suspicious behavior will help respond to a security breach quickly.

Whatever position you are searching for vulnerability, be it Network Security or Security Analyst, both roles require the requisite skills. Some IT security jobs will become more hands-on, while others will be more analytical. But they will all require the same basic skill set.
