Hot job: Cyberterrorist fighters

One potentially hot job for the coming years is that of an ISS – that’s a fancy kickass sounding acronym for Information Security Specialist.

As computers and the internet continue to progress, more and more people are gaining free access to any information they need.

But this also means the information gateway is open for spammers and hackers or what are called cyberterrorists.

With the increasing number of internet users as well as abusers, the ISS will serve as valuable gatekeepers to make sure the information systems remain secure.

Lewis University has an online MS in Information Security that can cover both the technical and managerial aspects of IS.

According to their website, the course is:

“…a highly dynamic online program that provides students with the technological and managerial tools to safeguard businesses and government agencies from the growing risks and threats to IT functionality, integrity and data privacy they face on a daily basis.”

Among the cool stuff you will learn are: Computer Forensics, Database Management and Securing Windows and Linux.

If you feel like you’re fit to be an ISS, read more about their courses at the Lewis University website.
