During my career, I have been keeping learning and practising new technologies. Nowadays, AI, deep learning, big data, etc. new technologies have emerged one after another. I was wondering if there was anything that will not change, and it could make me more and more valuable in the job market? Like the medical doctors, they are getting more and more experienced and valuable when getting older and older. Finally I come up with the thought that Information Security might be the thing!
The technologies behind Information Security might keep changing, like you can scan your web site for vulnerabilities using different tools, find logs in different places, however, the idea to find the threat, define the risk for your product, get prepared either to avoid the damage or minimize the damage, generally speaking, would be the same, no matter what it is hardware, software, network, and so on.
As more and more I learned, I am thinking when it comes to infornmation security, it is quite depend on the general "sense" rather than the specific "skill". And the fastest way to get more "sense" of it, is to learn in a systematical way, like getting a well-known certification, e.g. CISSP.
