Most In-Demand Jobs and Skills for 2022

 

Top jobs of the future

Many popular jobs with the highest-paying skills we see today, such as AI engineers, were nonexistent a few years ago. In addition to many of the positions we’ve already covered, the future looks bright for jobs in cloud computing, blockchain, AI, and robotics, to name a few. These categories require specific knowledge bases and skillsets and are good candidates for technology specialists interested in upskilling to help ensure greater job security and demand.






Cloud computing

Businesses are shifting from a corporate data center-centric model to cloud-based XaaS (anything as a service) platforms. Reasons include the ability to be more agile and adaptive, better support a remote workforce, and shift from CapEx to OpEx financial model, which helps preserve cash. Simultaneously, individuals use the cloud to store and manage their data versus on a personal network or computer. Sought-after cloud computing skills include programming, ML, AI, IT and cybersecurity expertise, development operations, and serverless architecture knowledge. The average rate for cloud computing ranges from $40 to $150 per hour.

Blockchain

This system, created behind Bitcoin cryptocurrency, is a virtual ledger capable of recording and verifying a high digital transaction recording volume. It’s practically if not totally impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system, making Bitcoins impervious to being hacked, double spent, or faked. Companies in various business sectors are rushing to use blockchain in innovative ways, creating a greater demand for blockchain developers. Skills for blockchain specialists include in-depth knowledge of blockchain architecture, web development, public architecture, and expertise in programming languages such as Python, Java, and C++. The average rate for blockchain developers ranges from $50 to $125 per hour.

AI

Artificial intelligence simulates human intelligence in machines programmed to think and act like humans. Poised to disrupt major industries, including healthcare, E-commerce, entertainment, banking, financial services, transportation, and manufacturing, AI has only begun to impact how humans live and conduct business. Skills for AI developers include knowledge of programming languages such as Python, Java, R, and C++, a strong understanding of statistics, probability, mathematical concepts, applied mathematics, algorithms, and distributed computing. The average rate for AI developers ranges from $40 to $135 per hour.

Robotics

Another hot tech field, robotics involves the design, construction, and use of machines (robots) to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, either substituting human actions entirely or providing tools that make jobs easier. In addition to physical robots, the field of robotics includes RPA. Fundamentally, RPA enables the replication of repetitive tasks such as data entry. Robotics engineers should possess core mathematics and science skills, have expertise in programming languages such as Python, Java, and C++, using complex AI and machine language (ML) algorithms, problem-solving, and creative thinking. The average rate for robotics engineer ranges from $45 to $100 per hour.

MOST COMMON CYBER ATTACKS

1). PHISHING:        • One of the most insidious techniques used today is Phishing. It's hard to find the person that doesn't know what phishing is. However lot of users still getting tricked by the hackers.         • Phishing implies    the replication of the website with the aim of stealing money or personal information. And once a user enters his credit card details in that fake website, a hacker can get access to those details and will be able to use those information for his own benefit. 2). Viruses and Malicious Codes:        • Hacker's can almost crawl into any website and leave in its database malware or insert code into website files.         • There is a huge variety of viruses, and each may impact the infected websites differently. 3). UI Redress:        • This technique is similar to the phising; but in this case a hacker could create a fake hidden user int...

Where is the World of Cybersecurity Heading in 2020?

TUV Rheinland Releases Their 7th Annual Cybersecurity Trends Report As we all know, the world of cybersecurity is an ever-evolving, fast-growing industry that can be tough to follow at times. For example, we have seen a rapid upsurge in the use of smart devices and with that, an increased risk of cyberattacks. This has not been limited to private households either. Rather, the logistics industry and private vehicles are also at risk of being hacked. Indeed, as individuals and industries increasingly move online, this inevitably leads to an accumulation of data in mammoth proportions. When access to this data is left uncontrolled, this could potentially destabilise the digital society. In other words, as Petr Lahner, Business Executive Vice President for the business stream Industry Service & Cybersecurity at TUV Rheinland, explains, “…it is particularly serious that cybercrime is increasingly affecting our personal security and the stability of society as a whole.” As such,...

Will life ever be the same again?

Stay at home, work from home The fact is, even before COVID-19 became the catalyst, there were quite a number of employers already embracing the ever-evolving technologies that make WFH an option for their employees. They recognized that it’s no longer necessary to have employees be in an office full-time to be productive contributor to a team. Indeed, many kinds of work can be done just as effectively, if not more so, from home or anywhere. But this time, WFH was not an option but mandatory. Were employers and employees ready for workplace changes? Let’s take a quick look at the top challenges faced by employees versus business leaders/owners working from home: Barriers to effective communication top the challenges faced by both employees and business leaders/owners. Both groups also pointed out insufficient facilities, tools and devices; and that the home environment is not conducive to work as the other top challenges faced. Surprisingly, lack of trust came up last in ...
