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.
