I love that it rewards those of us who are curious and like to learn. There's never a dull moment! And even better, we don't need to work for the same employer - or even in the same industry - to feel a sense of community and the desire to collaborate. It's a great feeling to pass along even a small amount of information that might help an organization protect itself against "the bad guys."

When I was at the age of 13, I have seen a TV spot about „Programming in BASIC” on the local TV at Hungary. That was the time when I decided and changed my original concept being an electrical engineer to being a programmer. My family was shocked but accepted and supported my decision. And I never regret it. I started as a computer programmer at the Hungarian Railways. During the years I had several challenges and changes in my job, and somewhere in 2005 I fell in love with IT security. Now I am a global CISO, responsible for information security protection in my company across the globe. Only one thing never changed: I am continuously learning. Cannot stop it. I found my dream profession that is also a hobby for me. I advise you the following: Always follow your dreams. Be an IT professional if you feel it inside that this is the field for you. Never believe anyone who says this profession is not for you. It is your dream. Let it be your path.”

If you are considering a career in cybersecurity, I will provide you with a few compelling reasons to encourage you to do so. My name is ​Edo Babić and I am an IT Engineer by profession. I have been working in the dynamic and ever-​changing information technology (IT) domain for almost 30 years. Hence “​changing” – this is how my interests widened and this is how I learned a lot on the way. 

But this is also how cybersecurity became a part of my career, and a part of my life.

Originally branching from IT world, cybersecurity, as it is today, touches almost all aspects of our daily lives. Not only it plays an essential role in safeguarding our online safety, but also the safety of systems which are fundamental for our daily lives – electricity, transportation, financial institutions, health institutions, education institutions.

So, finally, why do I work in cybersecurity, and why should you?

1. Be a part of a fast-paced, challenging, exciting field. 
   • And ​NEVER​ bored – I assure you.
2. More (much more!) job opportunities.
   • It is the fastest growing field, and the high demand for qualified professionals is not slowing down for years now.
3. Better financial compensation
   • Average salary for cybersecurity job beats the average private sector job by 50%
4. C​hoose the industry you want to work in.
   • As a cybersecurity expert, you can pretty much choose your industry – whether we are talking about financial institutions, automotive industry, education, government, … you name it.

Naše teme su definitvno najinteresantnije a tu je kolaboracija i suradnja sa cybersecurity profesionalcima i srodnim organizacijama iz cijelog svijeta. Često radim na projektima koji uključuju nove tehnologije i znanja, a što ponekad zahtjeva dodatno razvijanje postojećih ili usvajanje novih vještina.

Cybersecurity svijet svakodnevno donosi nova iznenađenja koja mi bude znatiželju i dodatnu motivaciju za usavršavanje mojih vještina.

Uvijek mi je dobar osjećaj dok usvajam nova znjanja kroz razne edukacije ili na druge načine. Bude malo nervoze oko certifikacijskih ispita, ali kada prođem ispit i dobijem certifikat, sreći nema kraja! S ponosom ističem svoja postignuća, pogotovo kada znam da ista daju poticaj i drugima. Svojim primjerom gradim povjerenje u digitalno društvo i zato nikada ne odustajem!

U današnjem globalno umreženom digitalnom svijetu, upravljanje informacijskom sigurnošću i zaštita informacija i informacijskih sustava predstavlja kritične aktivnosti. To se posebno odnosi na kritične informacijske sustave poput zdravstvenih ustanova, bankarskih institucija ili elektroenergetskog sektora koji su izrazito izloženi kibernetičkim napadima u vremenu trenutne pandemije.
Tako specijalistički poslijediplomski studij Upravljanje sigurnošću i revizija informacijskih sustava daje odličnu priliku za sustavni pregled područja informacijske sigurnosti. Meni, kao bivšem polazniku ovog studija, značajno su se proširili vidici i znanja vezano uz informacijsku sigurnost, te je sam studij poslužio kao dobra priprema za polaganje CISSP certifikata. Osim toga, ovakva vrsta studija omogućava povezivanje te razmjenu znanja i iskustva sa kolegama stručnjacima iz IT industrije, što je od neprocjenjive važnosti. Dodatno, završetkom studija svakako se dobiva kvalitetna osnova za daljnje akademsko obrazovanje u smjeru doktorskog studija.
