Is cybersecurity a good career choice?
Yes — there are over 3.4 million unfilled cybersecurity roles globally as of 2026. The field has extremely low unemployment, strong salary growth, and near-universal remote work availability. The EU AI Act and NIS2 Directive are creating additional compliance-driven demand.
What certifications help in cybersecurity?
CompTIA Security+, CEH, OSCP (for penetration testers), CISSP (for senior/management roles), and CISM are the most employer-requested. Cloud security certs (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP) are increasingly valued.
