As varying technologies pervade every aspect of our lives, the threat of viruses, malware, and phishing attacks will only increase. Today’s hackers have access to all the tools they would need to infiltrate almost any organization and distribute false information. As important as it is for everyone to practice good cybersecurity, it is imperative the global technology workforce increases in size to protect against ever-evolving cyber-attacks.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that cybersecurity related jobs will increase by 31% between 2019-2029, compared to the average growth rate of 4% for all occupations in total. In other words, cybersecurity, and Information Technology (IT) skills in general, are in high demand by employers across the country.
