How to Find IT Jobs

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is the c-suite executive tasked with protecting enterprise information assets and technologies. This person oversees mitigating cybersecurity risks and ensuring full compliance with all regulatory requirements. In addition, a CISO establishes and enforces any related policies and procedures.
                         
Although a tech-related job that’s obviously connected to IT, a CISO’s reach is broad and extends much further than IT staff. A joint survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, CIO, and CSO magazines found that 85% of businesses employ a CISO or equivalent. This is in direct response to the rise in cybercrime.

                         



                         


While a CISO isn’t necessarily a part of the company’s IT structure, a firm background in IT is needed. That’s because modern businesses use a variety of connected technologies. Often thousands of employees are connected using encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) with several logins on multiple devices. Strict IT policies are crucial, making IT jobs plentiful.
                         
In today’s world, everyone has a computer in their pocket. Many have another on their wrists and in their personal bag. Some may even be wearing one on their faces. This means IT needs to consider both company-owned equipment and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies.
                         
Maintaining cybersecurity compliance isn’t easy, but IT jobs are created to ensure teams are always working on it.
