Children are often asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For the majority of individuals, professions such as teacher, nurse, pilot or astronaut were popular responses. However, for generation alpha, these responses have shifted to viral YouTube sensations or TikTok content creators due to today’s popularity of social media apps. So what does this mean for low visibility jobs like cybersecurity?
There are countless jobs that are necessary for the safety and stability of our everyday lives, and cybersecurity is one of them. However, due to the low profile nature of the cybersecurity industry, young professionals are often unaware of the existence of such jobs and therefore do not consider them as a potential career path.
