Ethical Hacking is NOT What Hollywood Portrays (It’s Even Better)

BIG Salary

Per a leading job portal, the average annual salary of a certified ethical hacker is $99,000. Even the new professionals, filling any entry-level post, can expect annual income as high as $95,000.
In India, Certified Ethical Hackers or CEHs make an annual average salary of around Rs 4,40,000. Versus the other traditional (and hyped) career paths, evidently, this stream promises financial rewards in abundance. To that, the salary also depends a lot on the organization and department you’re working with.

Top Organizations Are Looking For You

Per Accenture, the average cost of a malware attack is $2.4 million in money and 50 days in time. No wonder, even the small and medium-scale companies are investing extensively to secure their IT infrastructure. Then, of course, top brands, along with almost all government organizations around the world, are going big with their spending on cyber-security. This, collectively, have upshot the need and demand of ethical hackers at its all-time high right now. So, while on the macro level India is struggling with the 40-year high unemployment rate, with your skills and certification on ethical hacking, you can easily score high-paying jobs in renowned organizations.

Less Competition

Yes, with technology (like IoT and VR) taking giant leaps in our lifestyle, cyber-security has the attention of all. However, still, the number of graduates exploring this niche as a legit career option is relatively low. Lack of awareness is a primary reason. The number of reputed institutes offering the right training is still in scarce. And then, admittedly, ethical hacking isn’t quite easy to learn. So, if you’re looking to become a professional ethical hacker, you wouldn’t have to deal with high competition, as is the case with the traditional courses, which can unlock you even better opportunities.

More Bad Guys, More Opportunities

Did you know 2,23,000 new malware samples are produced every day?
Not just that! More than 4,000 ransomware attacks occur every day which is expected to cost the world a whopping $11.5 billion by the end of 2019.
The number of opportunities in this market is only growing by the passing days. And it’s expected to continue growing in the coming years and decades. So, you can say goodbye to the idea of “career stagnation”. The career ladder here is quite long and less-crowded that you can climb at full pace.
Starting your professional life in a private company, you can quickly move to grab jobs in globally-recognized companies and government organizations. In short, while it sure is daunting to see the number of bad guys increasing, it also is good news for those who want to make a successful career in cybersecurity.
