Needed! IT Security Skills
The need to safeguard data has become a hot topic lately.
Recent
security breaches have companies taking extra steps to ensure their
critical data is secure.
This has led to an increased demand for IT
security experts.
According to a recent article on Dice.com:
“Demand for the skills necessary to secure networks and data continues to drive
opportunities for security specialists. During April, job postings for
security-related positions rose 20 percent year-on-year, according to business
intelligence from Wanted Analytics.”
According to another study by Frost and Sullivan, “Demand
for security professionals in the Americas is increasing by 12% annually,
with 164,000 jobs forecast in the next year alone.” Source
Companies are seeking security talent from the outside
to address the talent gap; however, one alternative that's often overlooked is providing existing personnel with security-related training for product areas they already manage.
Training existing staff accelerates your timeline
and reduces long-term costs associated with turnover and
re-hiring.
Hands-on security training is available from Oracle
University across the product stack. Benefit from training and best practices directly from the
security experts at Oracle.
Interested in free training. Have administer Solaris and Oracle for more than 10 years.
