Following on their heels is a fourth threat: cybersecurity failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For five years in a row, the challenge of cyber risks has ranked high in the list of global threats for its disruptive potential and increasing prevalence. According to cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, every hour last year witnessed more than seven ransomware attacks, totaling <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/flatiron-school-adds-flexible-pace-cybersecurity\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">around 65,000 breaches<\/a>. And that\u2019s in the United States alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cyberwar is in full swing. Partly to blame is the global pandemic. The rise in the number of companies and employees going fully digital has opened many channels for digital vulnerabilities and eventual data breaches. Employers are, therefore, facing pressure to finally put much of their focus on strengthening their security systems and capabilities by investing in cybersecurity talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, cybersecurity jobs are among the fastest-growing careers across the board. In numbers, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/computer-and-information-technology\/information-security-analysts.htm#tab-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">demand for cybersecurity professionals<\/a> is expected to grow by 31 percent from 2019 to 2029. That\u2019s upwards of 40,000 job openings and seven times faster than the average national job growth, which is four percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put another way, there\u2019s no shortage in demand and opportunities in cybersecurity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCybersecurity is definitely in the news a lot lately, and we are seeing a severe fallout when companies aren\u2019t secure. Because of the huge need for qualified cyber professionals, employers are having to be more flexible when assessing candidates,\u201d says Scott Bowman, Senior Manager of Cybersecurity Career Coaching at Flatiron School.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, I\u2019m seeing fewer barriers in terms of educational requirements. If you\u2019re only recruiting from the top 50 colleges across the United States, you\u2019re going to be missing a lot of great talent.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where Flatiron School comes in. Working to produce a league of competitive and diverse cybersecurity talent, the tech bootcamp specializes in job-ready skills designed to get you through the doors of this industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-build-a-cybersecurity-career-with-flatiron-school\">How to Build a Cybersecurity Career with Flatiron School&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatiron School is one of the first coding bootcamps in the United States, having entered the tech education space in 2012. Nine years later, the bootcamp has remained steadfast in offering skills-training programs for the most in-demand careers in the market: software engineering, data science, product design, and, of course, cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-know-about-flatiron-school-s-cybersecurity-program\">What to Know About Flatiron School\u2019s Cybersecurity Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1015\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/What-Will-I-Learn-From-Flatiron-Schools-Cybersecurity-Engineering-Immersive-01.jpeg\" alt=\"An infographic covering the main modules of Flatiron School\u2019s Cybersecurity program\" class=\"wp-image-87807\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/campus-and-online-cybersecurity-engineering-bootcamp\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Flatiron School\u2019s Cybersecurity Engineering program<\/a> offers a market-led curriculum that\u2019s delivered in full-time and flexible pacing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-learn-full-time-or-at-your-own-pace\">1. Learn Full-Time or at Your Own Pace<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your availability and learning needs, you can either learn full time through the Cybersecurity Engineering Live course or at your own pace with the Cybersecurity Engineering Flex option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cybersecurity Engineering Live course lasts 15 weeks and comes with the typical 9am to 6pm daily class schedule from Monday to Friday. This option is ideal for students who have the time to commit to a full-time program, value structure, and enjoy learning alongside a community of peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cybersecurity Engineering Flex course, on the other hand, is best suited for learners who have day jobs, are parents, or have commitments other than their studies. As the name suggests, you\u2019ll be able to set your learning schedule and pace whether at 20, 40, or 60 weeks. You\u2019ll also have regular one-on-one check-ins with your instructor and have the option to participate in virtual study groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-cybersecurity-engineering-program-curriculum\">2. Cybersecurity Engineering Program Curriculum<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatiron School\u2019s Cybersecurity Engineering curriculum comprises five phases, each of which requires a learning commitment of 105 hours for a total of 525 hours. To prepare for such rigorous training, you\u2019ll need to complete around 30 to 40 hours of foundational pre-work at least a week before the immersive program starts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pre-work will equip you with a general understanding of systems, networks, and Python\u2014one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/best-programming-languages-cyber-security?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">sought-after programming languages for cybersecurity<\/a>. The pre-work is especially helpful for incoming students who have no previous knowledge or experience in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn terms of the skills that are most important to know when getting started in cybersecurity, we suggest having a good understanding of operating systems, information technology, and computer fundamentals,\u201d says Scott. \u201cBut we go much deeper than that in our curriculum at Flatiron School.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the pre-work, you\u2019ll steadily work through the five phases of the program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cybersecurity Foundational Skills.<\/strong> Systems security, network security, applied cryptography, GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and Python<\/li><li><strong>Cybersecurity Intermediate Skills. <\/strong>Systems security, network security, applied cryptography, cyber threat intelligence, and Python&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Cybersecurity Skills Development. <\/strong>Systems security, network security, applied cryptography, cyber threat intelligence, and logs and detection<\/li><li><strong>Gray Hat Hacking. <\/strong>Systems security, network security, logs and detection, application security, penetration testing, and GRC&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Cybersecurity Skills Application. <\/strong>Systems security, network security, logs and detection, application security, penetration testing, and capstone project<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum is designed to build on your skills from week to week, compounding on your previous learnings to effectively hone your mastery of cybersecurity concepts. The program culminates with a capstone project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scenario-based capstone project asks students to use what they\u2019ve learned in the course to provide security analysis and implement appropriate countermeasures to a hypothetical data breach. It culminates in a professional-level oral presentation and written report, which can be used in a portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project brings the workplace to the classroom, giving you a headstart in the type of work you can expect once you enter the workforce. \u201cWe go above and beyond,\u201d says Scott. \u201cIt\u2019s not just learning theory. It\u2019s putting things into practice through labs and projects. That hands-on experience is the biggest differentiator between Flatiron School and other training offerings.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon graduation from the bootcamp, the real work begins as students begin working with Flatiron School\u2019s proven job-search framework and Career Services team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flatiron-school-s-career-support-for-cybersecurity-engineering-students\">Flatiron School\u2019s Career Support for Cybersecurity Engineering Students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/What-Is-Flatiron-Schools-Get-Hired-Game-Plan-01.jpeg\" alt=\"An infographic showing Flatiron School\u2019s comprehensive job search support\" class=\"wp-image-87808\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the cybersecurity industry being so wide-ranging and fast-moving, it only makes sense that many incoming cybersecurity professionals need support navigating it. Departing from the sink-or-swim approach of colleges toward its graduates, Flatiron School has devised an extensive job search support program for all its students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comprises one-on-one career coaching and networking opportunities through Flatiron School\u2019s employer partnerships team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe career coaching team begins working with students about four weeks before they complete their programs,\u201d says Scott. \u201cOnce they graduate, students have 60 days to prepare for their job search. During this time, they work with a dedicated career coach to polish their resume, practice interviewing, and craft a job-search strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen they\u2019re ready to begin their search in earnest, our graduates receive 180 days of Career Services support, guided by our Get Hired Game Plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Get Hired Game Plan is a proven job search framework that adds structure and accountability through the coaching process. We\u2019ve had it in place for years and have seen it help over 5,000 students succeed time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous learning and networking lie at the heart of this game plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-continuous-learning\">1. Continuous Learning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know how important it is the moment that Flatiron School students graduate for them to create a plan around learning new things and keeping their skills sharp,\u201d says Scott. This is why graduates are encouraged to continually work on their portfolio by working on cybersecurity projects and learning more about the most relevant tools in the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional certifications also pose another avenue for continuous learning. \u201cWhat we found is that certifications help our students validate their skills across the industry standard,\u201d says Scott. While certification isn\u2019t required to get an entry-level job in cybersecurity, Scott calls it \u201can easy checkbox\u201d and something that students can pursue to sharpen their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Cybersecurity Engineering curriculum covers about 90 percent of the material necessary to obtain a CompTIA Security+ certification, and many of our students pursue that certification right after they graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s really important for students to take the hands-on projects they complete during the course, as well as additional self-study post-graduation, and leverage them in their job search. You have to give yourself credit for all that you\u2019ve learned, and find creative ways to show it off to potential employers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCybersecurity is quickly evolving, and we know continuous learning is important to succeed in the field. So you have to give yourself credit for what you&#8217;ve achieved, and then create opportunities to showcase it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-networking\">2. Networking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Networking is a critical facet of Flatiron School\u2019s Get Hired game plan. \u201cA lot of our focus is around challenging oneself to break down those barriers of communication,\u201d shares Scott. But why the focus on networking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some studies suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/12\/27\/how-to-get-a-job-often-comes-down-to-one-elite-personal-asset.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">70 percent of jobs<\/a> today don\u2019t even make it to the public job posting sites. This implies that you\u2019ll need to be well-connected to be privy to job opportunities that are hidden to the majority. This aligns with the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u2019 findings that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2community.com\/human-resources\/85-of-jobs-are-secured-via-networking-heres-how-to-do-it-right-02368331\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">85 percent of jobs are filled through networking<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatiron School helps you build your network early in the game through its vast employer network. With this, you get the chance to connect with top cybersecurity companies like Deloitte, Forcepoint, VMware Carbon Black, and AT&amp;T Cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that these strategies are not mutually exclusive. \u201cThey work together to create a successful job search,\u201d says Scott. \u201cLearning something new, meeting new people, and connecting with other cybersecurity professionals\u2014these are all things we hone during the coaching process at Flatiron School.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-cybersecurity-jobs-can-you-get-after-flatiron-school\">What Cybersecurity Jobs Can You Get After Flatiron School?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity is a wide-ranging industry that requires a variety of skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s easy for people to get lost in job titles and functions. There are a lot of different frameworks and ways you can think about cybersecurity. It\u2019s good to start by understanding what security problems are out there and who is working on the solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of standardization in terms of clarifying entry-level pathways in cybersecurity. No two employers have the same need, and no two employers define an entry-level candidate the same way. For some employers, that means mid-level IT. For other companies, that might be someone completely fresh,\u201d Scott notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He points to the <a href=\"https:\/\/niccs.cisa.gov\/workforce-development\/cyber-security-workforce-framework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity<\/a>, otherwise known as the NICE framework, to draw a clearer line. In sum, this framework is the federal government\u2019s attempt to standardize government cybersecurity job titles. \u201cAnd I believe the job functions, knowledge, skills, and abilities outlined by NICE have a lot of parallels with what we\u2019re seeing in the civilian workforce for cybersecurity,\u201d says Scott.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Flatiron School\u2019s cybersecurity program prepares students for success as <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-cyber-security-analyst?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Security Analysts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-cyber-security-engineer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Security Engineers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-pen-tester?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Penetration Testers<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/flatironschool.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-compliance-analyst?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=cyber_article__aug2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Compliance Analysts<\/a>, the possibilities of where you can go in a cybersecurity career are endless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NICE breaks down cybersecurity titles according to their functions and can give you an idea of the cybersecurity roles you\u2019ll be ready for after completing your training at Flatiron School.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table course-info-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cybersecurity Functions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cybersecurity Role<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Analyze: To analyze cybersecurity information and potential threats<\/td><td>All-Source Analyst, Exploitation Analyst, Threat Analyst, Target Developer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Collect and Operate: To collect the essential cybersecurity information and conduct denial and deception operations<\/td><td>Cyber Intel Planner, Cyber Operator<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Investigate: To investigate cybersecurity crimes and activities<\/td><td>Cyber Crime Investigator, Cyber Defense Forensics Analyst<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operate and Maintain: To maintain the security features of information technology systems<\/td><td>Technical Support Specialist, Database Administrator, System Administrator, Systems Security Analyst<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Oversee and Govern: To lead and develop cybersecurity efforts<\/td><td>Information Systems Security Manager, Cyber Legal Advisor, Cyber Policy and Strategy Planner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Protect and Defend: To prevent and counteract cyber threats<\/td><td>Cyber Defense Analyst, Cyber Defense Incident Responder, Cyber Defense&nbsp; Infrastructure Support Specialist, Vulnerability Assessment Analyst<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Securely Provision: To build and develop secure IT systems<\/td><td>Security Control Assessor, Enterprise Architect, Security Architect, System Testing and Evaluation Specialist, Software Developer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because cybersecurity functions vary per role, Flatiron School\u2019s career coaches emphasize helping students uncover their transferable skills and see how this might add value to a company\u2019s cybersecurity needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide an example, students without extensive technical backgrounds may opt for less technical roles such as that of a cybersecurity analyst to break into the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a huge need for diverse backgrounds and creative problem-solving ability in this field,\u201d says Scott. \u201cWith the right transferable skills, people breaking into cybersecurity may find they can land more of a mid-level role right out of the gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Flatiron School, we prepare students for cybersecurity analytics and cybersecurity engineering roles,\u201d says Scott. \u201cAnd we see people get into both, depending on what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-tip-for-the-aspiring-cybersecurity-professional\">A Tip for the Aspiring Cybersecurity Professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHistorically, people have been able to get into this field through grit and perseverance. Being self-taught goes a long way in this industry,\u201d says Scott. \u201cBut a program like Flatiron School provides structure, thought leadership, and the learning environment to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll be surrounded by other learners who come in with a diverse range of backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. And our Cyber Range labs and hands-on challenges will ensure you\u2019re learning the practical skills you need to land a job in the cybersecurity industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put simply, Flatiron School is a viable pathway for anyone who wishes to build a fulfilling career that promises more than just great pay and a wide berth of opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn cybersecurity, you get to protect companies from those threats. You get to see the forefront of our intelligence efforts. And in a lot of cases, you get to solve tough challenges that no one else has seen in the past. [Finally] you get to help all of us protect our data so that we can use the Internet with more security,\u201d says Scott.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity is perhaps one of the most rewarding careers today.
