Welcome to CareersInfoSecurity
Home for the Latest Career News, Views and EducationSubscribers to the previous Careers updates published by ISMG's BankInfoSecurity, GovInfoSecurity and HealthcareInfoSecurity sites now will receive the new Careers e-newsletter from CareersInfoSecurity.
Designed to meet the needs of information security professionals across all business sectors and geographic regions, CareersInfoSecurity debuts at a time when organizations increasingly focus on battling cybercrimes, protecting critical infrastructure and meeting regulatory requirements. There is a heightened need today for qualified information security professionals and leaders to be prepared for the future demands of this profession.
"The demand for qualified professionals will only grow exponentially, requiring professionals to develop new skills and effectively road map their careers to prevent being in a position of playing catch-up with emerging technologies," says Hord Tipton, executive director of (ISC)2, a global leader in educating and certifying information security professionals.
CareersInfoSecurity is a resource for career advancement, including the development of specific skills in areas such as privacy, audit, business continuity, forensics, application security and risk management. In addition, the site focuses on academic and certification programs, trends in the IT security profession and includes expert insights from top-notch educators and leaders in the industry. And coming soon: a job board for information security pros to search for that perfect new position.
Among the content debuting on the new site:
- News analysis, including 5 Hot Jobs in Information Security and The Rise of the CRO;
- Exclusive interviews with thought-leaders such as Mano Paul, (ISC)2's software assurance adviser;
- Guest blogs from top IT security training leaders such as Trevor Hughes, president of the IAPP;
- Online training programs, including Information Security for Management - What Your Senior Leaders Need to Know and Developing an Effective Information Security Awareness Training Program.
ISMG currently offers sites serving four vertical industries: HealthcareInfoSecurity for hospitals, clinics and other healthcare organizations; BankInfoSecurity for banking institutions; CUInfoSecurity exclusively for credit unions; and GovInfoSecurity for government agencies. Plus, the company recently launched BankInfoSecurity sites for Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia and India.
Concurrent with the launch of CareersInfoSecurity, ISMG also is launching two other new websites:
- InfoRiskToday, a site for IT and non-IT executives, managers and professionals worldwide that focuses on information risk management, a process designed to protect an organization's information assets and business mission;
- DataBreachToday, a multimedia website providing news, insights and education on data breach detection, notification and prevention globally.
