Ten Emerging Tech Jobs With Great 

Futures

If you need further proof that technology trends such as mobility and the cloud have changed the face of business, then check out the following emerging IT job titles, which were compiled by Janco Associates. They reflect how organizations are overhauling traditional concepts about what people in the IT department are supposed to do. And they speak to an overall rise in demand for uniquely skilled IT professionals, as the once-rigid divide between tech operations and strategic planning continues to fade. "The management and direction of technology are no longer based within an ivory tower operation," says Victor Janulaitis, CEO of Janco. "Today, technology is ubiquitous with organizational strategies and operations. For example, the demand for someone to manage the rapidly changing digital sector in business often is beyond the scope and capabilities of the CIO. Thus, a new business role is created: the chief digital officer. We have also seen an increase in technology-based C-Level positions. As demand has increased for these roles, there has been an increase in the number of organizations that need precise job descriptions for them." This list is taken from the new Internet & Information Technology Position Descriptions HandiGuide from Janco, which compiles more than 260 current tech-based job descriptions.

The average cost of a cyberattack is 3.86 million and the cumulative total for global cybercrime is expected to cost $6 trillion. If you don’t pay to train your employees about cybersecurity best practices eventually you may end up paying more in the long run. High quality and free trainings for your employees are available from several government resources including Department of Homeland S...

Nearly 500,000 workers are needed in cybersecurity roles around the country

The push to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic is straining cybersecurity professionals around the country tasked with ensuring workers are able to not only work efficiently from remote locations — but to do so safely. This rapid shift is a tall order for an industry that was already in need of skilled professionals long before the pandemic took hold.  Cybersecurity workers were taken off some or all of their typical security duties to assist with other IT-related tasks, including equipping mobile workforces, according to an April survey from global nonprofit (ISC)2, the largest association of certified cybersecurity professionals. The survey of 256 cyber pros found nearly half were re-tasked and that a quarter said cybersecurity incidents increased since the transition to remote work, with some seeing as many as double the number of incidents. Separate data from another nonprofit cybersecurity group, the Information Systems Security Association, found a 63% increase in...
