Saying that you want a career in IT is like saying you would like food for dinner.

Where does your curiosity lead you? What would you like to know more about? On the other hand, it means understanding what the market wants. What skills does your prospective employer need? Who are they most likely to hire?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in pursuing career opportunities centered around protecting companies from dangerous digital threats, the following IT skills are in high demand and will only become more important in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Cybersecurity<\/h2>\n<p>The number of data breaches and exposed records in the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/273550\/data-breaches-recorded-in-the-united-states-by-number-of-breaches-and-records-exposed\/\">have been on the rise<\/a>. In 2019 alone, there were 1,473 data breaches that affected a staggering 164.68 million people. Hackers are constantly attacking companies. These are the most common reasons they succeed in getting through:<\/p>\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1923 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"laptop protected by cybersecurity\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Weak or stolen credentials<\/li>\n<li>App vulnerabilities or backdoors<\/li>\n<li>Poor permission control<\/li>\n<li>Malware<\/li>\n<li>Social engineering<\/li>\n<li>Improper configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Data breaches have serious repercussions and companies want to avoid them at all costs. It should come as no surprise that CIOs in Gartner\u2019s 2021 CIO Agenda Survey indicated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021-05-17-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-security-and-risk-managem\">cybersecurity was the top priority<\/a> for new spending. 61% of over 2,000 CIOs said they would increase investment in cybersecurity. Globally, companies are set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021-05-17-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-security-and-risk-managem\">spend over $150 billion<\/a> on global security and risk management in 2021.<\/p>\n<h2>Privacy<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1925 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage2.jpg\" alt=\"consumer data privacy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage2-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage2-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage2-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Closely tied to cybersecurity is a consumer\u2019s data privacy. Over the last two decades, tech companies reached market caps upward of a trillion dollars by taking as much data from their consumers as possible and selling that data to advertisers. Facebook earned almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/268604\/annual-revenue-of-facebook\/\">$86 billion in revenue<\/a> in 2020, 97% of which came from advertising.<\/p>\n<p>But consumers have grown much more cautious about giving their information away, because they are aware that many companies sell their information to advertisers and often lose it in data breaches as well. They no longer trust that companies can handle their data properly and they certainly don\u2019t want their data to be sold to advertisers without their knowledge and permission.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies will need to drastically reinvent their business model to accommodate for this shift. Other companies are already using privacy as a competitive advantage: Brave and DuckDuckGo are two examples of a browser and a search engine that lean heavily on privacy as a competitive differentiator.<\/p>\n<h2>Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>Governments around the world are also coming round to a consumer\u2019s right for data privacy. Slowly but surely, they are implementing regulatory frameworks that punish companies who don\u2019t take proper care of the data that their customers trust them with.<\/p>\n<p>The best-known example of such a framework is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that was implemented for the European Union in 2018. GDPR protects data and consumer privacy and comes with fines of up to \u20ac20 million or 4% of a company\u2019s global revenue (whichever is highest). If you think governments won\u2019t be able to enforce GDPR legislation for large multinationals, you\u2019d be mistaken. Data protection authorities handed out these fines in late 2020:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1926 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IT compliance certificate\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skillup.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/SKO-Learn-These-3Vital-IT-Skills-BodyImage3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalguardian.com\/blog\/google-fined-57m-data-protection-watchdog-over-gdpr-violations\">\u20ac50 million<\/a> for Google<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac35.3 million for H&amp;M<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-54568784\">\u00a320 million<\/a> for British Airways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GDPR is only one example of a regulatory framework that enforces data compliance. There\u2019s the CCPA in California (implemented in January 2020), the LGPD in Brazil (implemented in August 2020), and many others around the world. Companies cannot escape the regulation around data compliance anymore.<\/p>\n<h2>In Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The burden of warding off cybersecurity threats, keeping sensitive data secure, and staying compliant with regulatory frameworks falls almost exclusively on teams of IT engineers. Companies are in need of people with the right skills in cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s you, you\u2019re in for a lucrative and rewarding IT career. But there\u2019s no need to worry if you don\u2019t have skills in those areas just yet. They\u2019re nothing you cannot learn.
