Studying 英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 in Alaska

We’ll level with you: There’s not a lot of cybersecurity education in Alaska, with programs — if not individual courses — restricted to the first two years of undergrad. Here’s what a couple of schools are doing in the field:

Online 英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 Programs in Alaska

The dearth of colleges in the 49th state in general translates to limited degree and certificate programs in cyber security specifically. However, due to Alaska’s extreme weather, what’s available on campus is usually also placed online. Using the University of Alaska’s complete list of online degrees and certificates as a guide, we found two programs for aspiring cyber security professionals.

英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 Meetups & Communities in Alaska

It may be difficult to track down professional groups for networking. Even those that do exist, such as the Anchorage chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and the Alaska branch of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) , have such small digital footprints that it’s hard to tell how active they are. The following group maintains a more consistent presence:

• (ISC)2 South Central Alaska : (ISC)2 is a worldwide membership organization for cyber security professionals who hold advanced certifications, although it welcomes students. Members of this chapter meet once a month at the Alaska Communications Business Technology Center in Anchorage to network and discuss InfoSec issues.

Since professional communities can sprout from nowhere, you can help develop a scene. University of Alaska students at the Fairbanks and Anchorage campuses can be proactive by joining their respective school’s Cyber Security Club.

英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 Conferences & Workshops in Alaska

Thanks to Alaska’s weather and relative isolation, the state lacks the high-profile conferences and workshops of the Lower 48. The following event is the biggest for cyber security within Alaska:

• SANS Alaska : While it doesn’t come every year, the SANS Institute stopped in Anchorage for a weeklong intensive training in 2016 and may return. At the inaugural training, attendees had a choice between two courses: one in hacking techniques and the other in industrial cyber security basics.

英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 Jobs in Alaska

Alaska employs the fewest information security analysts of any state, according to 2015 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in part because it has one of the smallest populations. The overwhelming majority of analysts are based in Anchorage, where they might land jobs with telecommunications provider GCI or at a branch office of a federal agency. Cyber security specialists and engineers can look northward to the Fort Greely military installation , where contractors such as Boeing often work.

英雄联盟竞猜全球详情平台 Salaries in Alaska

One advantage of there being so few jobs in Alaska is that existing positions pay relatively well: nearly $88,000 a year for information security analysts. Top-level earners can pull in around $140,000 annually. Both numbers are just shy of national averages.
