Most "cybersecurity" is automated now. Also, you need heavy background in math/computer science and programming background for cybersecurity. Something most Operations/IT people do not have. > If you’ve seen the latest password dumps and how bad they are, cybersecurity is getting worse if anything. That really has nothing to do with "cybersecurity". It's just operations "best practices". > Also, as of 2015 the Chinese had 60,000 dedicated cyber security engineers. This year the US I think has 9,000, maybe less, and they can’t even protect the US, much less the rest of the world (unlike the globally deployed US Navy). It depends on what a "cyber security engineer" is. > Ops people are so important. Sure. But it's also a highly automatable position too. > NOTE: I actually am an AWS Engineer and I like moving to the cloud, but still. AWS engineer? Do you mean you work for amazon or you work for a company that uses AWS? |
