Career:
The growth of cyber security represents a strategic, social and business risk for organizations and the nation at large. In the ICTC 2011 – 2016 Outlook Report (published in 2011), security was identified as a leading technology concern by companies surveyed. This concern was driven by regulatory compliance, liability concerns, and the serious damage to an organization's reputation arising from a publicized security breach.
As a result of the growth in ICT-related theft, fraud and damages, employer demand for information systems security professionals is increasing, and growth is projected to continue. A Global Information Security Workforce Study indicated that the number of information system security professionals worldwide has risen more than 40%, from 1.6 million in 2008 to 2.7 million in 2012.
