Here in Hong Kong, as well as globally, the demand for cybersecurity professionals exceeds the number of available qualified personnel. “The talent shortage is very bad because of the new surge in demand coupled with the small supply of well-trained cyber professionals,” says Mark O’Reilly, Asia managing director of a recruitment agency.

In Hong Kong, the Cyber Security Risk Circular, an edict issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in September 2015, is now fueling an unprecedented demand for cyber security staff at banks. The result? Pay rises of up to 30% are now on offers. Due to the immense local, regional and global demand it is an excellent time to transition into a more interesting and lucrative career field.

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) designation is an excellent path to pursue, however, it requires five years of experience in information security. We developed this course as the first step a person would take to begin a career in information security.

This course is designed to rapidly introduce students to the fundamentals of cybersecurity using the eight (8) CISSP and five (5) ISACA CSX Cybersecurity Fundamentals domains as a foundation including:
