Once again, news with analytics began to appear as if in the next couple of years there would be a catastrophic shortage of information security specialists on the market (we will abbreviate it to the abbreviation "IS"). According to XX, Russia is already short of about 30 thousand specialists. Sounds promising in terms of a career - low competition, go and work. However, what does the IBshnik's career look like on the Russian market?
My work experience in this market is approaching a round date, except for specialized education in this area, and during this time a stable opinion has been formed about the information security market in Russia and a career in this area. This is what will be discussed further. Everything described below is more likely for those who decide to break into (in fact, it is enough just to step) into this market or look at something else.
Information security specialization is often described on various resources as something complex, mysterious, unidentified and romantic. Basically, everyone who is not yet familiar with this area associates work in information security directly with hackers and it seems that all information security specialists have these skills (they hack websites, steal passwords, break through IP, etc.). Because of this, entering this market looks as difficult as possible, and it often seems impossible for a candidate to get a job as an information security officer without having this knowledge. However, the realities are such that most information security specialists do not even know how this happens. Moreover, a significant part of the "specialists" are not particularly well versed in IT. Why is this so?
The information security market is divided in the same way as all other markets into customers and performers. Let's start by describing the work on the customer's side.
