You referring to pki? I’m sure there are plenty of roles in that and there always will be. It’s a needed position and isn’t a very “sexy” or highly touted role so I’m sure the demand is pretty good. I would expand the search and skill set from just certificate to overall IAM/Pam and identity management. You can add ADFS to AzureAD/Entra migration to that if you want to shoehorn the word “cloud security” in your resume.
I’d also maybe add platform knowledge of something like cyberark to your tool belt.
There’s a September 2024 deadline for federal agencies to develop zero trust architecture so I’m sure that going to increase the demand as well.
On a job board just look up keywords like Pki, infrastructure support/engineer/analyst, IAM, identify management, zero trust architecture, OpenSSL, Entrust, digicert, cyberark, s/mime. I literally just searched ZipRecruiter for the term “Kerberos” and there was a position titled “Software Engineer with Cybersecurity Skills”
. It's the perfect stealth layoff that could only happen because people moved during the pandemic. Fortunately, once this card is played it's gone from the game.
