网络安全

A 2020 report by 网络安全风险, expects global Cybercrime costs to grow by 15% per year over the next 5 years and to cost the world $10.到2025年每年5万亿美元1, which is up by $3 trillion since 2015. 结果是, the world of 网络安全 has experienced a huge 网络安全 talent gap across not only the United States but across the world and closing this gap will be quite impossible for many years to come. 话虽如此, there exists a far greater demand than there is supply of 网络安全 positions across the US resulting in a very low supply of 网络安全 workers. The number of estimated 网络安全 workers employed in 网络安全-related from October 2019 to September 2020 is approximately 941,904 while the number of online jobs postings for the same time period for 网络安全-related positions is a whopping 521,617. 令人惊讶的事实是,981 employers with job opening have requested individuals to have a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) but yet there are only 90,334 individuals around the world who even hold that cream of the crop certification. This shows how great the demand is for 网络安全 professionals.2

The demand for 网络安全 professionals continues to rise along with the rates of attacks and increases in 网络安全 budgets. The imbalance of the amount of skilled 网络安全 workers along with the high demand to fill 网络安全 positions has caused a 网络安全 skills shortage. 到2021年，这一数字将达到3.5 million unfilled 网络安全 jobs globally. 3 The 网络安全 unemployment rate dropped to 0% in 2016 and has remained there ever since and is not expected to change over the next several years.4

通过数字

Cybersecurity is the 10th fastest growing occupation with a growth rate from 2019-2029 of 31% and a 2019 average median pay of $99,730. 事实上, employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 31 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations, 只有4%. Demand for information security analysts is expected to be very high, as these analysts will be needed to create innovative solutions to prevent hackers from stealing critical information or causing problems for computer networks5

Forensic computer examiners or digital forensics analysts as they are called by the Bureau of labor Statistics lumps them in with all Forensic Science Technicians and is projected to grow 14 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations and an average pay of $59,150. State and local governments are expected to hire additional forensic science technicians to process their high case loads. 另外, technological advances are expected to increase the availability, 可靠性, and usefulness of objective forensic information used as evidence in trials. 结果是, forensic science technicians will be able to provide even greater value than before, and more forensic science technicians will be needed to provide timely forensics information to law enforcement agencies and courts.6
