Information Security Jobs
Information security is a job which involves safeguarding information of companies. The job primarily includes preventing unauthorized disclosure of information in any possible manner. With major companies having their very own formula and approach of processing a job Information security has become an indispensable requirement of the following.
Scope of the Job:
Previously the scope of the job included protecting computers in a system from being hacked or from being attacked by virus. Ever since internet came into being it has provided a pathway for computers to become soft targets for virus attack. The damaging potential of a virus on systems is feared all over the world.
Today the scope has moved from antivirus and spy ware to much more serious issues like data protection. Data protection whether inside or outside an enterprise must be protected from being lost or stolen. So information security jobs are of paramount importance.
Qualifications:
Formal qualifications are very important for professionals who wish to become information security specialists and even for entry level information security jobs. The most widely recognized are qualifications from ISACA or the Information Systems Audit and Controls Association, IISSCC or the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, and ISEB which stand for Information Systems Examinations Board. Examinations are held online in many languages and at many centers around the world.
Information Security Salary (Salary in Information Security Jobs):
The Indian corporate sector has time and again been afflicted with both virus and non-virus security breaches. Matters have reached such an alarming proportion that the urgent need to protect information from any such threat is of undue importance to companies of all sectors. In view of this threat information security jobs in India are high in demand in the country. With the rapid growth of the economy more and more companies are coming up because of which there is an urgent requirement of information security professionals.
Today jobs for information security have become an important aspect of
- Information Technology
- Information Systems
- Information and Communications Technology
- Computer and Network
So acute is the demand in India that there always is a glaring disparity in the demand and supply of qualified professionals. After pass out, professionals can expect jobs like Security architect, Security analyst, Information security manager, Security engineer and chief security officer. With experience one can rise up the ladder in a very short span.
As information technology has spread from every major metropolitan city to even second rung cities in the country the demand for information security jobs in India is growing by leaps and bounds. There are plenty of openings in every city of the country. However the most number of openings in information security jobs in India can be found in hi tech cyber cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and NCR.

The market trends are changing, now the opportunities are open, you either can take the project as freelancer, or join a firm.
As most of you guys wanna to go in this field, my personal suggestions are
1) develop expertise skills in I.T.Security domain.
2) make right contacts who can get u work.
3) read case studies.
4) join professionl groups who r working on security projects, as i started.

At the firt place-being a fresher, it is really dificult to work as an Auditor, as auditing requires a lot of skills set, and small firms doesn’t call the auditors. So u can urself think, an mnc/fortune company/govt. org. can really trust freshers?
my friend i think u can understand, so do it in stages, fist get recognition as security expert then go for it.

Mr. vishvas, i would rather suggest to inquire in your institution. And you should consult the job agency.
Because, i can not suggest you companies, you should apply fro the jobs, find companies from local info medias and directories.
If you ready for that, i will guide you completely about interview and enhancing process.

Mr. sarthak,
This is not the time to worry, but this it the time to search. The stage where you are right now, everyone breaks his/her head in deciding what to do?
Where to do?
What is the future option? etc. So stop thinking too much. You have decided your career then start searching.
You are from Delhi, so you must be well versed with the technology, use your brain smartly.
Search for the institutions, ask your teachers, relatives or any one near to you. Just ask and judge the institute from future prospective.
Fees and all may be discussed later or simultaneously, but important is that you start searching. And there i a great opportunity in ethical hacking. And i don’t think that, fees will be too much, it will be equivalent to other degree course. But it is giving a future with bread-butter. So stop thinking and start working.

thank you Mr. Scott for yor guidance .. … i have started working upon it ..some are saying tht it is good some saying bad.. they are saying tht there is very less scope in india for hacking… and the main problem is that my parents want me to do engineering … i am confused .. …. do u know abt appin institute????
Reply This Comment
Dear Sarthak,
People have mouths and they say anything. The important is that who is saying? Are they your teachers, parents? Take their advice as well. And if you do it from some good institute, it is not bad according to me.
People say that is bad because the are not aware about it and this field is uncovered in India.
Be patience and think what you exactly want to do, and convince your parents.

Mr. Mujeeb,
Practice and experience make a man perfect. So the problem you are facing is not new. In fact everyone suffers from this kind of problem. You should concentrate on your current work. And you should do SWOT (Strength, Weakness, opportunity, Threats) analysis if your self. Then you can get ideas that where are you lacking and where you should improve. All the best. Thank you.

sir,
i am in he field of IT ( networking )…
will it be good to do security course ….and will i get placed…from which institute in pune will it be possible to get trained.
thanks and regards.

Mr. Mukesh,
There are so many institutes for the security course and Pune is like an Education Hub so better you go and visit there. Because you can get very furnished information. And also try to find out courses from authentic websites also. See, there are some criteria to judge the course and the institute. So concentrate on that. So do well and better to search more ok. I am sure you will do will. All the best and if you want any further guidance, ask questions.

Mr. Mukesh,
There are many institutes offering courses on Information Security(IS). However the awareness on the career opportunities by specializing on this domain is very limited. In India the most popular course being Ethical Hacking is just a small drop in the ocean of opportunities in the IS domain.
Any student who want to pursue a career on IS need to be trained on
Technology, Process and Management related subjects on IS, by undergoing the right training on IS the successful students are eligible for high paying careers like Ethical Hacker, Information Security Officer, Assurance Professional & Risk Manager, IS Auditor, Business Continuity Planing & Disaster Recovery Manager, CISO, CTO or Technical Specializations like Network Security Administrator, Application Security Specialist, Penetration Tester, Forensic Investigator.
Thank you.

Hi all,
Everyone is talking about information security and ethical hacking, ignoring the required skills for it.
As Mr. JAY is suggesting most of the queries and hats off to that man, i really appreciate his efforts and knowledge.
DOING a course in ethical hacking CAN NOT make u a HACKER…
This is a complete mechanism, and before going for C.E.H., one should study the mechanism behind this, do a search on it, u guys got internet, everything is available free, get it, use it, understand, and then decide- what exactly u want to do….
this domain is so vast which can not be learned by courses, u need to manage the real time senarios.
Networking technologies can’t be ignored while thinking abt hacking.
any suggestions and comments are highly appriciated…
