VXLAN -VLAN built for cloud and virtualisation Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is one of the most misunderstood technologies for engineers who haven’t worked extensively with cloud or virtualization platforms. The reason is simple: most traditional ne...
When we think of cybersecurity, we often imagine hooded hackers, forensic tools, or incident response teams in war rooms. But the reality is far more nuanced — and dominated quietly by network security professionals who form the backbone of global cybersecurity.
Over the last decade, students across India have been sold a shiny idea — that cybersecurity is a high-demand domain with millions of unfilled jobs.
But here’s what they were never told:
Most “cybersecurity” jobs are NOT in ethical hacking or forensics — they are in managing, configuring, and operating SECURITY PRODUCTS built by companies like Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Check Point.
In the tech world, there are two dominant ways to solve IT problems:
Writing custom code or scripts — typically done by software engineers.
Building infrastructure-grade products — done by giants like Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Juniper, and others.
These companies don’t just hire engineers — they create industry-standard products to solve cybersecurity problems at scale.
And what do they need to operate those complex systems across 200+ countries?
✅ Certified Network Security Engineers
✅ Firewall Experts
✅ Network Security Architects
NOT junior penetration testers or bug bounty hunters.
Let’s break down the roles companies actually hire for:
| Job Role | Tools/Products Involved | Hiring Demand |
| Network Security Engineer | Cisco ASA, Firepower, ISE, DNAC | Extremely High 🔥 |
| Firewall Administrator | Palo Alto NGFW, Panorama, App-ID | Very High |
| Security Operations (L2/L3) | Check Point Blades, FortiGate, Snort | Very High |
| Identity & Access Control Manager | Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass | High |
| Cloud Security Engineer | VPCs, Network ACLs, IAM, Palo Alto VM | Rising Rapidly |
| Ethical Hacker (actual offensive) | Kali, Burp Suite, Metasploit | Niche, limited openings |
| Security Analyst (L1 SOC) | SIEM tools like Splunk, QRadar | Entry-level, low pay |
Because productized security has taken over.
Firewalls detect threats.
Sandboxing appliances like WildFire and SandBlast analyze malware.
IDS/IPS systems block attacks in real-time.
Cloud-native firewalls automatically adapt to changing environments.
Most of these tools don’t need "cyber warriors" — they need experts who know how to deploy, configure, monitor, and fine-tune them.
In other words — NETWORK SECURITY professionals.
Every year, thousands of students in India enroll in “cybersecurity” diplomas that teach:
CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)
Basic Linux forensics
Malware analysis in theory
Basic scripting
These courses barely scratch the surface of what real job roles require.
Meanwhile, companies are actively hiring engineers with deep expertise in Cisco Security, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and automation tools like Ansible and Terraform — all under the network security umbrella.
✅ High Salary Packages — ₹15 to ₹50 LPA for experienced experts
✅ Global Demand — Jobs in 180+ countries with Fortune 500 firms
✅ Certifications That Matter — CCNA Security, CCNP Security, CCIE Security, PCNSA, NSE4+
✅ Real Infrastructure Skills — You don’t guess or “hack”; you build and protect.
