Are Cybersecurity Jobs In High Demand?
Cybersecurity jobs have been rapidly increasing because cyber threats have been increasing in sophistication, intensity, diversity, and volume.
A Burning Glass study serves as a wake-up call for technical training organizations: The demand for cybersecurity professionals outstrips the supply of skilled workers. The National Center for Education Statistics shows the number of new cybersecurity programs has increased 33%, but the demand is growing faster as cybersecurity is now considered essential for most organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the top five barriers in addressing cyber security?
Even as CISOs better define their roles and become an integral part of state government, they continue to face challenges, particularly in securing the resources they need to combat ever-evolving cybersecurity threats. Four-fifths (80%) of CISOs say inadequate funding is one of the top barriers to effectively address cybersecurity threats, while more than half (51%) cite inadequate availability of cybersecurity professionals. Survey evidence suggests that when CISOs develop and document strategies — and get those strategies approved — they can command greater budgets and attract or build staff with the necessary competencies.
-
What is necessary for a cyber security strategy?
Traditional approaches have focused on preventive and risk-based protective measures. Risk-based measures mean the investment in security is a function of the perceived value of the information being protected. Those approaches continue to be necessary aspects of security. However, state governments must include two additional capabilities: Vigilance and resilience. Vigilance is continuous monitoring for threats that gives early detection. Resilience is the ability to respond and recover. These capabilities must be continually enhanced to anticipate the growing threat landscape.
-
Do cloud services create new cyber security issues?
Yes. Cloud services promise to provide flexibility, scalability, measured service and certain cost efficiencies. They also present additional security risks associated with authentication, access and storage of government data. The total economic cost and different security elements of cloud services must be fully understood when evaluating cloud computing in general and various deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community). Consumer-based cloud services used by government workers present additional risks because they may not offer rigorous security controls.

How can IT security help my company?
IT security can improve morale by providing awareness on how to protect information from scams, fraud, phishing and ID theft attacks. IT security can also save money by minimizing information security incidents through early identification. In addition, IT security can protect customer and corporate information by motivating employees, contractors, and consultants to view information security as their responsibility
