Information security is the practice of protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access or use. Cyber threats are a growing problem affecting every sector of the economy, and as a result, businesses everywhere are fortifying their information security protocol to safeguard against potential attacks. A bootcamp in information security can help jump-start students’ careers and train them on the latest tactics to spot and prevent unauthorized breaches.

A bootcamp in information security can qualify students for positions such as IT analysts, information security specialists, information security officers, and cybersecurity consultant. Due to the rapidly increasing threat of cybercrime, information security positions are targeted to grow by 32% by 2028, much faster than the normal rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Information security analysts earned an average of $98,350 per year in 2018.

SwitchUp provides information about a variety of bootcamps. When deciding on which bootcamp to enroll in, students should determine whether the information security bootcamp is full or part-time, how long the program is, and the cost of tuition.
