As digital infrastructure become ubiquitous in business, so too do security threats. Security professionals – from network specialists to business continuity experts – have no shortage of opportunities for careers.

Administrative positions of all types will remain among the most in-demand IT jobs of 2021 and beyond. As companies bring more services and operations online, they’ll need a savvy professional behind the scenes keeping it all together.
Database and network administrators represent the most in-demand skillsets, but more specialized roles have begun to evolve. CompTIA notes the evolution of the cloud systems administrator in the past two years and identifies it as a growing specialty in the IT world.
3. Infrastructure Architects
Having modern infrastructure is critical to both operations and data security, but companies know that “modern” means more than simply well-functioning internet in the office.
IT infrastructure is driving a phenomenal 35 percent growth in the global public cloud infrastructure market through 2021. Many companies are scrambling to add cloud architects and similar infrastructural professionals to the ranks.
4. Developers
Developers have long been a staple of the IT world and they will remain so. In fact, we’ve seen steady growth in computer science-related fields.
In 2021, we expect software developers and DevOps engineers to represent some of the most in-demand IT jobs out there. Professionals well-versed in cloud-native architecture and automation are particularly desirable.
5. Data and Business Intelligence Analysts
Data science careers have flourished throughout the last decade, yet consistently represent some of the hardest positions to fill. They often require unique skillsets that are difficult to find, a challenge that is compounded by the speed at which the industry is evolving.
