Do you know what the best career for U.S. Veterans is?

Military veterans who have served honorably in the U.S. forces have a hard time settling into their civilian lives. Due to the culture gap between civilian society and their military past, U.S. Veterans often struggle to gain employment. As of 2019, there were 284,000 unemployed veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They often fall into the dilemma of ‘what next?’ This is where cybersecurity comes in. A career in cybersecurity can help repurpose their skill sets that were developed over several years of service. This way, they can be around like-minded people again.

What is cybersecurity military?

The U.S. military, just like any other organization or business, relies on both physical and cyber security for protection since systems and networks are used in their daily operations. At the same time, the U.S. government is under constant pressure to implement a sustainable cybersecurity strategy that aligns with national security objectives. The strategy should identify primary threat actors and the reasons for the susceptibility of critical infrastructure to attacks.

Which branch of the military is best for cybersecurity?

There are have been many instances of cyber warfare in the recent past, often leading to the leak of confidential information or worse. For this reason, all branches of the U.S. military have their own cybersecurity advancement programs such as – the U.S. Department of Defense Directive 8570/ 8140, United States Navy COOL, United States Army COOL, United States Marine Corps COOL, and United States Air Force COOL program. EC-Council certifications are recognized under many of these programs and included as a part of our degrees.
