1. Application Development Security Of all the security-related skills expected to grow during 2021, this will be the fastest-growing. Experts predict that application development security will see a five-year projected growth rate of 164%. 2. Cloud Security In a sense, this is a subdomain of the broader computer security but that focuses especially on platforms hosted online, be it on a private, public, or hybrid cloud. Naturally, moving to the cloud isnât an easy task because there are plenty of moving parts and vulnerable endpoints to care about. Thatâs when cloud security experts come in, which explains why theyâll be in high demand in 2021, to the point where this skill is expected to grow 115% in the next 5 years. 3. Risk Management Developing risk management as a skill can position you as an expert that can interpret a highly fluctuating reality to mitigate the impact of all kinds of risks while maximizing the possibilities that stem from unforeseen changes. 4. Threat Intelligence While not expected to grow as the skills mentioned above, threat intelligence is predicted to grow 41% over the course of the next 5 years. That means that 2021 wonât be the year that this skill will explode in popularity. 5. Incident Response Unfortunately, cyberattacks wonât be slowing down any time soon. In fact, itâs estimated that there will be a cyberattack every 11 seconds during 2021. 2021 promises to be a tough year for security experts. The increased adoption of remote work and cloud-based technologies multiplies the opportunities for cyberattackers to strike. Whatâs more â bad actors are investing in more sophisticated threats with the help of cutting-edge technologies. That means that security systems will have to rise to the challenge to meet that level of sophistication.
