“Our analysis indicates that technical professionals knowledgeable in cloud computing, cybersecurity, data protection, and risk management, as well as having the ability to manage intricate IT environments, will be in a favorable position,” stated Greg Fuller, the vice president of the e-learning platform Codecademy Enterprise. “In general, the information technology job market features a substantial disparity between supply and demand, which continues to push up salaries.”
