Why cybersecurity?

Technology today is more accessible than it’s ever been—but it’s also more of a liability.

Government-sponsored bots disrupted an election.

Hackers continue to obtain sensitive consumer information.

Run-of-the-mill phishing scams can cost U.S. businesses nearly $1.6 billion in a single year.

So it’s no surprise that businesses are spending more on cybersecurity now than ever before.

$250 billion Projected value of U.S. cybersecurity industry by 2023

But who’s earning that money?

Right now, companies aren’t able to find enough qualified entry-level cybersecurity professionals to hire, leaving the U.S. government, countless businesses, and many individuals exposed to cyber attacks.
