Watch On:
Summary
Today, the top skill sets employers are looking for include cloud computing security skills, followed by risk assessment, analysis and management and artificial intelligence and machine learning, according to the ISC2’s Cybersecurity Workforce Study 2021. Focusing on the threat vectors unique to each could therefore help predict future demand, effectively futureproofing your career. However, the State of Cybersecurity 2022 report from ISACA, found these very same soft skills (communication, flexibility and leadership) were in short supply; they came out as the number one skill set cybersecurity professionals lack. Any exploitation or misconfiguration can therefore have far-reaching consequences on predictive modeling. There is, of course, the risk of cyberattacks becoming AI-powered, enabling today’s automated attacks to become more refined and evasive. The World Economic Forum (WEF) Future of Jobs report found that within digital communications and IT, the top emerging job role was for AI and ML specialists.
Show Notes
Being aware of emerging threats and how they impact technologies is key to bolstering defenses.
But effective risk management should not be driven by compliance or rely too heavily on metrics.
Typical attacks can include data poisoning and input attacks that manipulate the data and there is of course always the risk of data leakage or theft.
There is, of course, the risk of cyberattacks becoming AI-powered, enabling today’s automated attacks to become more refined and evasive.
So, while proficiency in software and network skills related to cloud, GRC or AI/ML are valuable, they should be augmented.
