Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec Says Complexity Will Drive More Specialization in Security

Robert Herjavec, founder of IT security firm Herjavec Group and a star on the angel investment reality show “Shark Tank,” says security workers will become increasingly specialized as technologies tied to sub-fields such as identity and access management become more complex.

“The level of complexity is increasing and becoming narrower,” Mr. Herjavec said in an interview with CIO Journal on Thursday. “In the past, if you knew security you could work on identity, you could work on firewalls, you could work on architecture. Because all those areas are growing and becoming much more complex, I need silos of knowledge.”

More repetitive processes will continue to be automated while humans are elevated to more sophisticated tasks that involve bringing context to complex situations, he said. Humans will always be part of the process, he added, as attacks continue to evolve.
