Looking to jump start your legal technology career but don’t know how? Jared Coseglia of TRU Staffing Partners writes a monthly column on certifications to know and training to acquire in the industry for Legaltech News. This month’s piece takes a look at HarvardX’s “Cybersecurity: Managing Risk in the Information Age” course.

The demand for cybersecurity talent in today’s legal technology job market far outweighs the available supply. Employers will have to both up-level their existing human capital as well as acquire external talent resources to stay current and compliant. While certifications like the ISACA’s CSXP, the OSCP and SANS’ GIAC portfolio all address various and often niche areas of technology-focused security training and education, a new offering from Harvard University’s Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL) aims to target a different audience, one that is more focused on leadership than hands-on security technology management.
