TRAINING AND EDUCATION
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN IN A CYBERSECURITY AND AI JOB?
According to IBM, the global average cost of a data breach is currently $3 million. Industry leaders and CEOs have suggested that, unless we can rectify the quality of education and training that our new cyber experts receive, we will continue to be outpaced by hackers.
Additionally, there’s currently a zero-percent unemployment rate in cybersecurity, the salaries tend to be lucrative and the opportunities in this field are endless. In the US, the median salary of an information/cybersecurity specialist in 2020 was $133,830 per year according to salary.com.
According to the World Economic Forum, AI and Machine Learning will create 58 million new jobs by 2022. Multinational Corporations (MNCs), especially in the USA and Europe, are investing heavily in AI technologies to increase efficiency, productivity and reduce operational costs. This trend is even seen in developing countries such as India, where all large IT organisations (such as Cognizant, TCS and Infosys) and consulting firms like Accenture and Capgemini have created Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Centres of Excellence.
Consequently, it’s unsurprising that the AI and the Robotic Process Automation Market will be worth $10.7 billion by 2027. Even in the current economic climate, the salary of an RPA developer in the US can range from $26,000 to $192,000, with an average salary of $93,000 per year, according to indeed.com.

WORK EXPERIENCE BOOTCAMP
How a Work Experience Bootcamp could fast-track you to a Better Job
68% of employers have cancelled work experience and short-term insight opportunities
What are Work Experience Bootcamps?
The essence of a bootcamp is about developing the capability to solve a practical business problem. These practical business problems are either based on anonymized client information or based on practice scenarios, which were developed by CrystEl. For certain bootcamps, e.g., artificial intelligence, we will expose individuals to lab work. This will then involve working through several lab exercises or simulations or to develop an artificial intelligence solution.
Work Experience Bootcamps are designed to help you develop business experience that are in demand with employers. Cystel Ltd, headquartered in the UK, an international consulting company, are delivering consulting Bootcamps in key areas – Business Analytics, Cybersecurity, Artificial intelligence, Block chain technology and, as part of an initiative to tackle skills gaps and growing demand for consulting experience, by employers.
Why Work Experience Bootcamps?
The ISE (Institute of Student Employers) has stated that short-term student work experience like internships will be reduced by almost a third (31%) of businesses.
Created in part as a response to the pandemic, Work Experience Bootcamps are part of Cystel’s Lifetime Skills Development Strategy and Plan for Jobs. Our Bootcamp in current, in-demand subjects and consulting will give you the skills needed to start your first role, or to help you progress to the next level.
As well as essential technical skills to enter the industry, we’ll also help you to hone your soft skills, including communication, collaborative working, problem-solving and working to deadlines in an agile environment.

CYBER SECURITY TRAINING & AWARENESS PROGRAM FOR YOUR WORKFORCE
The cybersecurity field continues to evolve and the need to train your company’s associates to shield your organisation against cyberattacks is becoming a key factor, considering that more than 70% of successful system or data breaches are attributed to human failure.
Providing information security training to your employees with a focus on password management, email use, internet use, social media use, mobile devices, device security, software patch management, web-content awareness, information handling and incident reporting will positively impact their user behaviour, practices and significantly reduce your company’s level of exposure.
Cystel will help you develop cybersecurity awareness campaigns and provide the training needed to equip your workforce with the right knowledge and skills to create a shared sense of responsibility and accountability. By engaging all people from your organisation, you communicate that everyone in your company is tresponsible for security.
Our training will enable your employees to recognise the most common cyberthreats, including:
- Phishing, Spear Phishing, Vishing, Smishing, Whaling, Mass Marketing Phishing, Web Phishing
- C-level email impersonation
- Malware
- Ransomware
- Social Engineering Attempts
- Deep Fakes
- Data Leakages
- Spam
- Business Email Compromise
CYBERSECURITY TRAINING AND CERTIFICATIONS
The gap in skills within the cybersecurity space has always existed, but it is becoming more significant as cyberattacks continue to increase in quantity and complexity.
The current cybersecurity defence approach does not meet the needs of firms that are facing hackers using artificial intelligence to power their attacks and largely operate as organised criminal organisations. Cybersecurity experts now need to think like hackers and enable their organisations to respond and recover assertively.
As organisations leverage the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Business Intelligence, the Cloud and other technology drivers to develop business capabilities and networked ecosystems that will drive them closer to their customers, the technical boundaries between companies and their customers and partners become fluid.
This increases these firms’ cyber surface of exposure and creates vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors.
The local, state and federal mandates to address COVID-19 forced organisations to decentralise their working environments, extending the companies’ surface of exposure to their associates’ homes and acting as a catalyst of an already rapidly increasing trend.
This current landscape brings unique opportunities for high performers to advance their careers, differentiate themselves from others and take a leading role in their current organisations or even make themselves more attractive in the market.
