What are the hottest cybersecurity fields and skills now? Are generalists still needed or too saturated now?

I’m hearing niche specialists are higher in demand.

I’m hearing GRC and AI automation are hot. I’m also hearing traditional PMO and process consultants are being phased out by AI orchestrators now at the entry level unless they can show more AI value add on improving processes.

Is any of the above true based on your experience?

Grc will always be needed across any department in any industry, not only cyber

Over-commoditized

Good PMOs are invaluable. Always need someone to effectively communicate asks to technical team members and translate results in business value to leadership. I say this as a technical person

I’ve seen consulting firms get rid of PMO resources and replace with AI for orchestration. EY might be different though.

Depends on what you consider niche specialists but yes they are in demand and will continue to be in demand. Most of the time the issue comes down to pay and location.

Not a fan on paper grc, i think we are heading fast into automated controls and risk management

Soc /dfir are always hot but subject to burn out

Zero trust and security architecture bubble still but traction feels slow still

I’ll do quantitative risk analysis. But risk only looked at periodically is not going to help any business long term.

Embedding controls should be done based on the paper side i agree but also based on business context and risk. This should be moving to near real time risk and compliance reporting based on controls, exceptions, what is happening in the system.

I also acknowledge this is more advanced.

I don’t agree that we should wait to put some controls in place based on assessments etc. i would rather build controls into a cloud environment from day 1 based on threat models, risk assessments etc than wait for someone to assess it before it goes live as that ignores everything up to then like leaving my api keys in my code on a public GitHub repo ( pls don’t do that).
