Why a Career in Incident Response (Cybersecurity)?
According to a recent study, there were 77,425 cybersecurity workers in Singapore, with a workforce gap of 6,071. Amid retrenchments and hiring freezes, the cybersecurity field is still in critical need of more professionals.
As cyber attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, the demand for incident response professionals who possess quick thinking and savvy techniques to secure systems is on the rise. These professionals are crucial in responding to security incidents and reducing the damage inflicted upon organisations, making the career path of incident response an exciting and dynamic field in the world of cybersecurity.
Incident response in cybersecurity refers to the process of identifying, investigating, and responding to a cyber attack or security breach.
It involves a coordinated approach to mitigate the impact of the incident, contain the damage, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. The goal of incident response is to minimise the impact of an attack and prevent it from happening again in the future.
