If you are looking for a challenging position of responsibility in a growth industry, this is it.
According to the U.S. Government’s annual assessment of global threats, “The risk of cyber-attacks is likely to increase with the growth of virtual currencies, networked healthcare, and emerging technologies such as three-dimensional printing.” (Bloomberg News, January 29, 2014)
A trained and certified force of cybersecurity experts is what is needed to meet these growing threats. Since cybercrime extends to everything from data theft at the highest level of government, safekeeping of healthcare information, spying, and bank fraud to keeping your information secure when you use your credit card, It’s no wonder that the demand for qualified cybersecurity experts is so strong.
“Our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace… Yet cyber intrusions and attacks have increased dramatically over the last decade, exposing sensitive personal and business information, disrupting critical operations, and imposing high costs on the economy.” Department of Homeland Security (http://www.dhs.gov/cybersecurity-overview )
