Career Prospects
The field of IT security is undergoing rapid change. Until a few years ago, simple security measures at company borders were sufficient. Due to the more flexible organisational structures of companies, mobile devices, outsourcing or cross-company project cultures, information tends to leave the company and thus the corresponding influence sphere more frequently. This creates new, complex challenges for the overall systems.
