Hello Veterans!

If you are looking for a new career where veterans have an advantage, then this message

is for you.

Going in, you already have a head start because of your service.

This career is called cyber security.

It is a great career for anyone, but veterans have some unique advantages.

If you want to know more, then pay attention to this:

Cyber Security for veterans

In a few moments, we will talk about why Monster.com says cyber security may be the best field

for veterans right now, but first let's talk about why cyber security is such a great

career anyways.

Just look at some recent headlines:

Now let's talk about the local job market:

Just in Tampa/St.Petersburg/Clearwater alone there are estimated to be almost 5,000 job

openings

Alright, so we know Cyber-Security is a great career for anyone, but why especially or veterans

and what advantages do they have?

Veterans make an easier transition because they already understand "defense of depth,

redundant systems and active defense" which makes them especially suited for these jobs,

but there is more:

There is a regulation called DOD 8570.

It says that if you have access to sensitive government data—so whether you work for

a government agency, a government contractor or a private company that has access to this

data, then you are required to have at least one of the certifications listed for that

position.

Many of these jobs also require a security clearance.

If you have one already, that saves the employer thousands of dollars they do not want to spend

on a new hire.

All you need is the certification.

Employers need to pay more to cyber-security workers who meet these qualifications because

the shortage of qualified professionals is even more acute.

If you have a top-secret clearance, you will start to feel like a number one round draft

pick.

So how much can you make in this field?

According to Global Knowledge' recent salary survey, this is what the average salaries

are for some of the entry level certifications:

So how do you get into this field?

Since the DOD 8570 regulations requires specific certifications, that is where the demand is.

According to a recent salary survey from 2016, 70% of staff working in cyber-security said

certification courses were the most valuable in developing their career.
