Your Cyber Security job questions, answered

Are there lots of Cyber Security jobs available in China?  

Yes! The sudden, large scale shift to remote working not only sent the demand for Cyber Security skills skyrocketing, but as we continue to work remotely or in more flexible, hybrid arrangements, Cloud professionals with expertise in cloud engineering and security will be critical personnel for a well-rounded tech team.

What job type or area of Cyber Security should I specialise in? 

Critical roles that are seeing increasing demand include Cyber Security governance, risk and compliance, as well as security engineering and architecture. That said, you’re certainly not limited to these jobs. There are loads of opportunities out there from people and process-based areas of relationship management, user education, risk analysis, strategy and road mapping. 
 
Cyber Security isn’t always a linear career, and proven experience in risk analysis and stakeholder engagement can hold just as much weight as technical expertise. Cyber – like so many disciplines – requires true diversity of talent and thought. 

What salary does a Cyber Security analyst earn in China?

Cyber Security analyst salaries typically average between RMB 350 - 550K. That said, they can vary depending on the role, location, and type of company.

What qualifactions can increase my Cyber Security salary?

At entry level, MTA Security Fundamentals, ISACA CSX Cyber Security Fundamentals Certificate, CompTIA Security+, GIAC Information Security Fundamentals (GISF) and (ISC)2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) are great for core knowledge.  

A solid understanding of the principles of networking will also always be useful – CCNA for example. There are also clear paths for key areas of Penetration Testing, for example CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and CREST accreditations. If you’re starting to think about leadership roles, qualifications such as CISSP, CISA, ISO27001, CCSP, and CISM will give you the edge.

What industries are hiring Cyber Security professionals?  

Any organisation that uses computerised systems will be concerned about security and will be looking to hire! Larger organisations in financial services, retail/consumer, Internet, manufacturing, and life sciences are obvious places to start your search. 
  
If you’re just starting in your Cyber Security career, you could give SMEs a shot as these companies are more likely to hire a security professional into a broader role and could be more flexible on technology and experience.
