Who is hiring in cybersecurity? From fintech companies to professional services giants, there are loads of employers recruiting.
Cybersecurity is a varied career; you can work on defending businesses against ransomware attackers or you can work for a company developing new technology.
Vaultree, one of the companies on this list, is an employer that is consistently at the forefront of new developments in encryption tech. For good reason, it is this week’s Start-up of the Week, but did you know that it is also looking for talent?
Other names on this year’s cybersecurity hiring list are big companies like Yahoo and Mastercard.
We spoke to Ndidi Opute, a third-party security risk analyst at Yahoo’s cybersecurity team, The Paranoids. She said she enjoys the variety of her work and the fact she gets to use skills like communication every day.
And Mastercard’s vice-president of software engineering and cyber and intelligence Roger Butler also highlighted the value of communication and the challenging aspects that come with a career in cybersecurity.
It is definitely a career for people who enjoy learning new things and staying on top of developments in technology.
