Cybersecurity Careers


If you are looking for an exciting and rewarding career, cybersecurity could be for you.  Cybersecurity is made up of people, process, and technology.  While many roles are technical, there are also many that require more general, non-technical skills covering the “people” and “process” aspects, including roles in marketing and communications, project and program management, policy and governance, and more.

Cybersecurity professionals are in high demand, as the world continues to become more digital and interconnected. Cybersecurity offers:

  • A variety of roles and challenges to suit your skills and interests;
  • A chance to make a positive impact on society and your community;
  • A competitive salary and growth opportunities; and
  • A flexible and dynamic work environment.
