There’s always room for improvement.” A saying that you have surely heard whether it was in school as a kid, doing chores at home or playing sports with friends. While this saying can apply to almost every realm of life, it most definitely applies to IT professionals! When it comes to learning new skills or refining current skills, the sky is the limit for IT pros. And guess what? Research shows that your employer thinks there are cybersecurity skills you should improve on too.
CompTIA’s new research report on the state of cybersecurity in 2020 shows that companies want further improvement on certain cybersecurity skills, even if those skills are already fairly strong. The report also states that the even though companies are looking for improvement in a certain skill, it does not necessarily mean they have a lack of strength in that skill. This statement more so relates to a company’s experience utilizing that skill. If companies know more about a certain skill, they know what they need to do to fine tune that skill.
The study also revealed the particular cybersecurity skills IT pros need in order to build their knowledge base and ultimately, their careers as:
Data security
Network security
Data analysis
Threat knowledge
Identity management
Application security
Endpoint security
Regulatory landscape
Cryptography
The chart below digs a little bit deeper to show just how much improvement employers believe they need across these cybersecurity skills.
