Information Systems Security Job Advertisement Analysis: Skills Review and Implications for Information Systems Curriculum
Brooks, Nita G.; Greer, Timothy H.; Morris, Steven A.
Journal of Education for Business, v93 n5 p213-221 2018
The authors' focus was the assessment of skill requirements for information systems security positions to understand expectations for security jobs and to highlight issues relevant to curriculum management. The analysis of 798 job advertisements involved the exploration of domain-related and soft skills as well as degree and certification requirements. Domain-related skills comprised the largest part of the results (16 of the top 20 skills) with the top three related to networks, standards, and policies. The most often found soft skill related to teams or teamwork. Implications for information systems curriculum are discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided.
