Information security is emerging as the hot sector for career prospects in 2011.
According to the January IT Skills Report released from Dice.com, a job board dedicated to IT professionals, information security jobs have skyrocketed to 1,680 listed positions -- a 109 percent growth from last year.
Foote also predicts growth in certifications offered by organizations such as ISACA, including the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), as more companies focus internal development on strategic management of IT risk and governance.
Dice also reports a substantial increase in jobs from the Washington D.C./Baltimore area -- up by 53 percent, followed by the New York/ New Jersey sector with a 30 percent increase over last year.
This is no surprise, as government agencies and private industry are all focused on hiring cybersecurity professionals who have the skills to protect their systems and networks from relentless forms of attack.
"We consistently hear that security is a top hiring priority from IT departments around the country," says Tom Silver, SVP and chief marketing officer at Dice.com. "From cyber-SWAT teams to security analysts, companies are hiring, and the need to protect their customers and intellectual capital only continues to grow."
Specific skill sets in demand include cloud computing, which topped the list with job postings up nearly three-fold (294 percent) to 1,300 job postings. This boom in cloud-based applications is one of the factors driving demand for skill sets in application developers like JavaScript (+98 percent to 7,919) and HTML (+85 percent to 8,547).
Virtualization is also high in demand. In particular, VMWare experience is what employers are seeking. There are close to 2,100 job postings, representing a 92 percent growth from last year. Virtualization and its ability to reduce hardware and operating costs is a major reason corporations are seeking this expertise.
Other growing specializations include SAP (+87 percent to 6,679) and PeopleSoft (+98 percent to 2,147).
The findings go hand-in-hand with what Foote sees in demand within IT security skills for 2011. In fact, a few additions from his list include application security, managed services, wireless security, data leak prevention, forensic analysis, identity and access management, VOIP security and vulnerability assessment.
No doubt, the job market for information security professionals is getting stronger. However, practitioners need to keep themselves abreast and acquire new skill sets based on changing trends.
