Cybersecurity does not make money. They do not raise the profit for a company. Instead, they are compliance, contractual, and legal defences to repel lawsuits and keep data boundaries clean.
And who's the first to go? Groups that dont make money. Like cybersec.
- blueside 6mo agoCybersecurity certainly makes money. The good ones make a lot. I mean a lot. But if you think you can just study for a year and get some security certificates and call it a day, you're going to be sorely disappointed in the compensation.

- jesseendahl 6mo agoThis is true at companies that treat security as a checkbox driven by compliance. Not true at top-tier tech companies building software in product categories that by their nature have very high security requirements, like Fintech (e.g. Coinbase, Mercury bank, Wise).
