Become a Cyber Warrior

There is a severe shortage of skilled cyber security professionals at a time when demand is booming.

     In this digital era, when the use of Internet has become indispensable, the threat of losing important data or personal facts to the hackers keeps hovering over the leading organisations. Recently, Sony Entertainment was a victim of a similar incident that cost the company millions of dollars. The hackers had leaked personal information such as salary details, emails, residential addresses and personal contacts of top Sony executives and actors. It was claimed that the hackers had illegally taken 100 terabytes of data from Sony. The company incurred a loss of $200 million because of the cyber-attack.

Such threats or risks have escalated the demand of cyber security professionals, to protect critical infrastructure in an organisation. Mostly, organisations, small or big, lack awareness about data security risks and fall victims to malware and other electronic threats like viruses, bugs, etc. Recent cyber-attacks have indicated that the annual cost of global crimes is around $100 billion, and by 2017, it will escalate up to $120.1 billion. As per a survey conducted by KPMG, out of total cyber-crimes, 58 per cent take place in financial sectors, followed by 11 per cent in infrastructure and communication and entertainment sector. Cyber-attacks in pharmaceuticals (3 per cent), government (8 per cent), Industrial market (3 per cent) and companies in other fields (5 per cent), make up 19 per cent of the figure. Notably, almost 50 per cent of all companies experience cyber-crime at least once a year, if not more. The need to strengthen security measures is even more important as there is an acute shortage of skilled professionals in the field of cyber security.

Growing demand

     Without skilled professionals, it is arduous to protect and manage data security. Today, cyber security professionals are the need of the hour. Moreover, there is a skill gap among many professionals who are in this field. According to a survey conducted by Information Systems Audit and Control Association’s (ISACA) global cyber-security status report and RSA Conference, it takes more than three months to recruit a skilled cyber-security professional in more than 50 per cent of organisations, and 10 per cent organisations are unable to fill this position at all. Therefore, this reflects a major concern — at a time when there is a tremendous increase in cyber-attacks globally, organisations are struggling to find skilled labour.

Shortage of skilled personnel is primarily due to the lack of appropriate academic programmes in the field of cyber-security. Courses are available, but the curriculum does not respond to the emerging trends and challenges. Besides, aspirants of the field must have general awareness about cyber threats and should be actively involved in cyber-communications to know the emerging challenges in the field.

Various courses

     The courses in cyber-security are diverse in nature as they cover all aspects of cyber-security including network security, computer security and information security. The most prominent subject areas include risk management, intrusion detection, penetration testing, access control, digital forensics, encryption, security governance and network security/computer security. A programme that a student opts for must focus on the business context with industry interface and learning so that he or she is hands-on with the work environment. For admission to a cyber security programme, reputed institutions prefer students with an information technology course-related background.

The cyber-world, which covers various dynamics of technology, ranges from fields such as telecommunications to computer forensics and provides opportunities for students with varied interests. Options are available to choose from the best and most suitable courses. There is no denying that courses in this field are of great use to the students as the graduates learn not only about protection of vital information but also ethics of the field.

Professional certifications are needed for entry or promotion in the field. Many reputed academic institutions across the globe are offering competitive graduate courses in cyber security, certified or supported by renowned IT companies, with a curriculum heavily focused on experiential learning. Hence, an aspirant must be astute enough to look for the right course in the right institution.

Role and prospects

     A cyber-security professional is responsible for safeguarding a corporation’s most priceless information assets. The foremost attribute that a cyber security professional must possess is ‘integrity,’ for any organisation of repute seeks professionals whom they can completely rely upon, for securing their database.

An aspirant can have a technical managerial role in IT firms because data breaches at large corporations have become very common. As a cyber-security analyst, he can help prevent attacks with his expertise and sound knowledge of networks, firewalls and encryption. Such professionals are typically accountable for identifying security weaknesses and devising solutions for security of hardware and software. Government and military organisations such as intelligence agency communications are always in need of skilled cyber-security professionals. There is a big demand for such professionals in E-Commerce technology firms too, which are frequently plagued by cyber-attacks, apart from demand in retail/wholesale and healthcare industries. Also, cyber-security professionals are known to be the most sought-after professionals in the technology sector, today.

Working more hours isn’t being more productive

We create the highest value not based on how many hours we work but rather on how much energy we are capable of bringing to whatever hours we work

Recently I was in the middle of writing a column about workaholism and overwork when former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, now a Republican presidential candidate, appeared to set me straight. Americans don’t work too much or too compulsively, he told The New Hampshire Union Leader. Rather, they don’t work enough.

“People need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families,” Bush said during an interview with the paper’s editorial board.

His statement brought back memories of the time in 2005 when his brother, President George W. Bush, addressed a divorced mother of three at a town hall forum in Nebraska.

“You work three jobs,” he said to her. “Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that. Get any sleep?”

Jeb Bush apparently views himself as a model for working longer hours and gaining more income for his family, especially in the years since he left office in 2007.

Privilege creates its blind spots, however. As football coach Barry Switzer once put it, “Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”

During the past eight years, Bush has been paid $27 million for giving speeches, serving on corporate boards and consulting for two banks at a combined salary of $2 million a year.

His remarks urging people to work harder prompted instant criticism from at least one major rival: “Anyone who believes Americans aren’t working hard enough hasn’t met enough workers,” Hillary Clinton said on Twitter.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are even harder workers than Bush. In 2014 alone, Hillary Clinton delivered 51 paid speeches, netting more than $12 million.

Bill Clinton gave 53 talks last year, adding $13.5 million of income for the family. Between 2001 and 2013 he gave 542 speeches around the world, more than half in foreign countries, and earned a staggering $104.9 million for his efforts.

As criticism of Bush’s remarks spread, his campaign scrambled to provide further context. It’s not that all workers need to put in more hours, he responded on Twitter to Clinton, but rather that those working part time or unable to find work need to work longer hours - or, more accurately, any hours at all.

To the vast majority of low-paid workers, putting in long hours often creates as many problems as it solves. If you are being paid $8 to $10 an hour, you most likely still will not be able to afford high-quality child care, for example, and you are less likely to get sufficient sleep or to take care of your other basic needs. It’s also a fallacy that individuals spending more hours at work translates into a more robust economy. Today it is frequently the 1% who work the longest hours.

The opportunities to accumulate ever more wealth induce them, often compulsively, to stay connected around the clock and around the globe. Meanwhile many low-skill workers struggle to work enough hours to pay their bills. No one is well served by working longer and longer hours.

When Bush brags about how hard he is working, it’s not because he needs more money.

Perhaps, though, it is partly because he feels that he can’t afford not to work hard, given how generously he is paid for his time.

The same most likely is true for the Clintons, and even more so for the world’s billionaires.

The irony is that, the more time they spend building their fortunes, the less time they have to enjoy them or to do much of anything but work.

Nor is there persuasive evidence that working more hours translates into higher-quality work or even greater productivity, because so often it is prioritized above sleep, vacations and almost everything else. Overwork ultimately produces diminishing returns for workers at any level.

In a period of 12 hours, I had my own vivid experience of the costs of trying to work more hours. After reading Bush’s words on a Thursday night, I threw out the column I was writing about workaholism. Instead I woke up early Friday morning to start over on this column.

After a couple of hours of writing, I noticed that my brain was slowly shutting down from lack of sleep, and I felt as if I were rowing toward my destination through a sea of molasses. My deadline loomed, but I decided to stop working and take a 30-minute nap.

When I awoke, I felt refreshed and able to think more clearly and efficiently.

We create the highest value not based on how many hours we work but rather on how much energy we are capable of bringing to whatever hours we work.

We create the most value as human beings when we find a dynamic balance between work and rest.

GATEway to PSUs

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is a competitive exam that is held at the national level for admission into various post-graduate programs in top institutes. As the GATE score shows the aptitude level of students in undergraduate science and engineering subjects, it is now being actively used by Public Sector Undertakings for recruiting the right talent. Conducted by the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the 7 centers of Indian Institutes of Technology namely, Delhi, Guwahati, Mumbai, Pune, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee, GATE is one of the toughest competitive exams of the country.

The popularity of GATE among students has increased tremendously owing to the fact that now Public Sector Undertakings are taking GATE scores into consideration while hiring. As a government job remains a viable career option for many further instigated by the stability and traditional reputation associated with it, umpteen aspirants are now appearing for GATE to make their dreams of white-collar jobs come true.

According to recent statistics, the recruitment of 2014 went pretty well. Also, last year, over 10 lakh students registered for the exam out of which, 8.89 lakh students appeared and only 16.84% i.e. 1, 49,694 were able to ace the exam. In accordance with the estimates, approximately 3000 students were recruited by 25 PSUs.

What lies ahead

As far as the year 2015 is concerned, it is estimated that 10 more PSUs will join the bandwagon of PSUs that recruit students on the basis of their GATE scores. Approx. 6000 students are expected to get hired by 34 PSUs through GATE 2015.

PSUs are always in need of employees who have detailed technical know-how, who know the nitty-gritties of engineering and have a strong understanding of its complex principals. GATE gauges the propensity of students to solve technical problems. Hence, PSUs are considering GATE score as the ideal measure to check a candidate’s general and technical aptitude. Also, screening candidates on the basis of their GATE results saves manpower costs of the company. Beyond this, GATE is a common platform to benchmark students in terms of engineering concepts and general aptitude, which makes it a fair medium to recruit candidates. Besides this, since IITs and top PSUs use GATE exam as their selection criteria for hiring, it urges other companies to follow suit.

Opportunities

Top Public Sector Undertakings like BHEL, HPCL, CONCOR, GAIL, BEL, DDA, NALCO, MECON, NHPC and MEC among many others, set their own cut offs for recruitment. Eligible and deserving students are hired. An excellent score in the competitive exam can help students grab a job in these companies. Currently 2000 to 3000 vacancies exist in some of the leading PSUs for fresh engineering graduates. After considering candidates based on their GATE scores, the selection process involves a group discussion followed by a personal interview.

The competition level of GATE has elevated extensively owing to the importance of the exam. To survive this fierce and intense competition, students need to have a strong grounding in engineering with a good GATE score, which is ultimately the passport to a secure career.

Higher education opportunities in Ireland

Indian students have reached greener pastures, quite literally, in their pursuit for newer options for higher education. Ireland, with its picturesque villages, vibrant cities and the tag of being one of the friendliest countries in the world, has managed to convince a growing number of students in India that the grass is indeed greener on the other side.

Small country it maybe, but some aggressive marketing and promotional efforts have earned Ireland a sizeable population of Indian students in most of its well-known universities. Education in Ireland (the government organisation responsible for the development of Ireland's higher education sector in world markets) said there were over 23,000 international students enrolled in publicly funded institutions in Ireland in the academic year 2013-14.

This is said to be an increase of over 60 per cent compared with the figures in 2009-10. The highest number of international students in Ireland comes from six key places — India, China, U.S., Brazil, Malaysia and the Gulf. Indian students are heading to Irish universities mainly to study subjects such as computer science, business analytics, engineering, pharmacy, business, accounting and hospitality management.

Growing interest

“The number of Indian students studying in Ireland has risen particularly in the last five years due to an increased awareness of Ireland, its culture and the strong post study employment opportunities,” said Education in Ireland representatives.

The Indian students studying in Ireland, that The Hindu came across during a recent FAM trip to some Irish universities, seemed to agree. There were some pertinent points they put forth while explaining the reason behind their choosing Ireland over traditionally popular countries such as the U.S. and the U.K. And some of them had made their decision to go overseas pretty young.

Anchal Jain, who is in her first year of medicine at Trinity College Dublin, for instance, chose to head to Ireland as there was no entrance exam. Back home, she would have written a slew of them. Another undergraduate student, Siddharth Hitkari, studying business, economics and social studies, said the next thing on his mind is getting an MBA, and going abroad before that “made sense.” Una Condron, Senior International Recruitment Manager (Asia), University College Dublin (UCD), said that Indian parents look at three aspects while sending their children abroad to study: safety, cost and the standard of living.

Various choices

While varsities such as Dublin Business School, UCD, Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology and National College of Ireland have their perks for being located in Dublin, those in other parts of Ireland, too, get their share of Indian students for different reasons. John Joe O’Farrell from the International Office of Waterford Institute of Technology, for instance, points out the lower cost of living in Waterford compared with Dublin, especially when it comes to accommodation.

Maynooth University, at the same time, touts its proximity to Dublin as one of the advantages, while still being away from the city. The wide range of courses too, such as at the National University of Galway, is a big draw for Indian students, along with the option of gaining professional experience. For instance, the University of Limerick offers a master’s programme in nursing studies wherein students can work part-time in a nursing home.

On the other hand, professors at the University College Cork point out how by being part of the European Union, students choosing to study in Ireland have the advantage of getting more opportunities to work.

A career in civil services

Getting into the civil services is a gruelling task. The motivation to succeed must be very strong indeed; for it is not an easy task by any measure to scale the stages of getting selected for India government service. This year, 1236 persons have been selected for the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service, and Central Services groups A and B, totally. They have faced a demanding selection process. The preliminary exam, the first stage, was held in August last year; filtering out most of the people who appeared, the Mains were held later and the Personal Interview, the final stage, was held in April and the result declared recently. The selection process this year has been the biggest so far, with 4.51 lakh people having appeared in the preliminary exam. There have been many firsts this time; four women candidates have bagged the top ranks, with the first ranker Ira Singhal being selected for foreign services.

Despite the process being so stringent, people try hard and try many times to enter this coveted career. What draws people into this attempt? Is it the prestige, the idealism, the power, the status it definitely brings? Perhaps a bit of all of this! Needless to say, the dreams of the new recruits are tied up with those of millions of people whose voices are never heard by us.

The effort

C. Vanmathi is one of the persons who has scaled this threshold. Born in a family with low income, her mother’s ambition was to educate her daughters up to Class XII. But Vanmathi has gone way beyond that. “My father works as a car driver, and my conviction that education has the power to uplift our status gave me the impetus to study further,” she says. Harendhira Prasad, who has secured the 93rd all-India rank (7th in Tamil Nadu), who holds a B.E. (Computer Science) and MBA, has worked in tech companies such as Wipro and Infosys.

He was engaged in preparing for the Civil Services exam while working with Infosys, and then realised that he needed to devote his full attention in order to succeed. He gave up his job and prepared full time (2013-14) and then succeeded. His motivation? “I always wanted to be different from the crowd. And with my tech background I can work towards taking technology to the people.”

Reality check

The civil services, on the one hand hold the dreams and aspirations of many, but there is another side — the less-than-ideal experiences of the officers in service. Ms P. Sivakami, former IAS officer, throws some light on this aspect. “Earlier a lot of policy decisions used to be brought about by IAS officers. Now the government decides most of the things. The inputs of civil servants in policy decisions have reduced,” she says. Civil servants are more involved in licensing, controlling, monitoring, evaluating and implementing the measures put forth by the government, she adds.

But Vanmathi is optimistic. “At the district level, to work in even implementation is good. One has to withstand the pressure,” she says. Harendhira Prasad takes a practical route. “We cannot change things in a day. I will be happy to do small things within my capacity. There are many good schemes which do not reach the people and I can create awareness among the people about these,” he says.

Her critical evaluation of the civil services aside, Ms. Sivakami has a positive word to add. “I like the service. It offers a variety and I couldn’t have learnt many things I know today without having been in the service. It does empower you and gives you a chance to learn,” she says.

The hope of the youth is reflected in her words. “You [officers] can stand up to authority if you want. You will have to face what comes. In every subject, cultivate knowledge, and how clever you are in putting across your idea will decide your success.”

Fresh ideas

There are many areas in which the hope and energy of youth will usher in changes. While Harendhira Prasad is keen on technology, Vanmathi is interested in women empowerment. “I want to make society better towards women. Now marriage is foregrounded and education of women takes a back seat. I wish to work towards changing this.”

Quoting Gandhi, she says, “There is enough for everyone’s need but not for everyone’s greed.”
