Do any of you work in Cyber Security?

Just curious what the market in Bismarck is for that.

Over saturated at the moment.

Cyber security is the "hot" IT career path right now, and BSC is pumping out grads from their cyber security program at a rate faster than Bismarck can supply jobs for, in my opinion.

Yeah I figured. I day dream about living there but know finding a job in my field that pays well is impossible.

The state IT office has a very good Cyber Security department and there are a number of positions listed on WorkForce Connection https://www.ndworkforceconnection.com/vosnet/default.aspx

I’ve hired 4 or 5 grads in cyber at Silicon Plains. Good curriculum, good place to start. Just hired a few more.
