We encourage you to train yourself as cybersecurity managers with our Master in Cybersecurity Management, Ethical Hacking and Offensive Security and focus your future work on a booming market, in which companies increasingly demand more professionals from the sector.
As we predicted in the previous article “In 2021, companies' 51% will hire experts to reinforce their cybersecurity”, the pandemic caused by Covid, teleworking and the migration of applications to the cloud, have made companies take a leap of years in a few months and this has generated the need for a new authority figure for the field of security of the information.
Cybersecurity Law: publication in the BOE
He BOE published on January 28, a Royal decree law by which companies such as electricity companies or telecommunications companies must have a responsible for Cybersecurity, specifically an Information Security Manager (ISR).
In the Royal Decree we can read in article 7, “The person responsible for information security will act as a point of contact with the competent authority.” regarding supervision of the security requirements of networks and information systems, and as a specialized point of contact for the coordination of incident management with the reference CSIRT”
The RSI, among other functions, must prepare the security politics to prevent and minimize the effects of cybercriminals.
The Royal Decree also indicates that companies have the obligation to provide the RSI with sufficient means and resources to carry out its functions effectively and implement security policies.
This new Cybersecurity Law will increase the demand for cybersecurity professionals who will hold a relevant position within the company's hierarchy with direct communication with senior management.
