While organizations are focused on improving their security stature, they are also looking at reducing the financial burden of doing so. Hiring full-time employees just to assess the security level of an organization is being viewed as an added expense to the organization. Unlike other IT roles such as helpdesk support, some cybersecurity roles are not routine and thus can be carried out once or twice a month. In addition to this, there is a shortage of talents in cybersecurity. Therefore, employees that have these skills are changing workplaces more regularly as they are offered better remuneration packages. Therefore, organizations are increasingly having to contract third-party experts to assess their threat landscape and exposure. Cybersecurity consultancy roles are favorable to beginners as they are a way to gain real-world experience that might be required later in permanent positions. Cybersecurity consultants are often specialized in specific roles, and so anyone pursuing this role should identify a niche they are good at.
