N eed
a
(NAPSA)—The
United
States has experienced a
constant uptick in personal
and business data breaches
in recent years, according to
a report by Symantec.1 Con-
sequently, companies are in- Anyone looking for a new
creasing cybersecurity spend- or alternate career should
ing, which is expected to grow be glad to learn cybersecu-
to nearly $100 billion in 2018, rity is a fi eld with many job
up seven percent from last openings for those with the
year, technology research fi rm skills and knowledge to fi ll
them.
Gartner fi nds.2
To keep pace with cyber-
attacks, a more robust work-
force of skilled cybersecurity professionals is vital. In fact,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that career growth for
cybersecurity professionals is increasing nearly three times
as fast as the national average compared to the growth rate
of other careers.3 There are currently nearly 300,000 open
cybersecurity jobs, per Cyberseek.4 What’s more, cybersecu-
rity research company Cybersecurity Ventures predicts 3.5
million cybersecurity jobs are expected to go unfulfi lled by
2021.5
Despite this workforce shortage, a new survey by Uni-
versity of Phoenix’s College of Information Systems & Tech-
nology found that only 18 percent of U.S. adults surveyed
expressed an interest in a career in cybersecurity.7 A meager
one percent of respondents to the survey actually work in
the industry.
Dennis Bonilla, executive dean of the University’s Col-
lege of Information Systems & Technology and School of
Business, called the trend “distressing.”
“The nation may soon fi nd itself unable to keep pace
with the number of attacks if we cannot bolster the work-
force,” Bonilla said. “Companies are pouring money into solu-
tions,6 which is helping combat hackers for the time being.
But, if we do not increase the workforce by implementing
more effective education and training programs, the money
spent on technologies is useless if there are not enough
trained professionals to operate them. Without these pro-
fessionals, it is akin to restaurants purchasing food but not
hiring chefs.”
The University of Phoenix survey found that nearly half
(43 percent) of U.S. adults have experienced a personal data
breach in the past three years. As a result, only 24 percent
said they feel more secure from cyberattacks today than
they did fi ve years ago. Forty-six percent feel less secure,
while the perception of 30 percent of respondents has not
changed in the last fi ve years.
In addition to a lack of personal cybersecurity, more
than half (56 percent) of those surveyed feel the country as
a whole is also less secure than fi ve years ago. Large data
breaches, such as medical and voter records, credit bureau
data and large retail attacks, have exposed millions of per-
sonal records. Additional attacks may be looming, Bonilla
warns. He said the solution is increased awareness and a
workforce that is trained not only on how to use the tech-
nologies companies have invested in but also how to think
strategically to stay ahead of attackers.
“Cybersecurity is a career of the future. Unfortunately,
what we are doing now to grow the workforce is not work-
ing,” he said. “We need to approach cybersecurity education
differently and this starts with changing the perception,
making it more inclusive and enticing to everyone. Only
then are we going to see a shift where these critical posi-
tions of data protection are fi lled.”
According to Bonilla, cybersecurity education should
start as early as kindergarten to encourage younger gen-
erations to pursue careers in cybersecurity. He also said that
people working in other industries, such as education, con-
struction and retail, can use the experience and expertise
from their careers along with cybersecurity education to lay
the groundwork for a new career.
Unfortunately, despite the need for trained profession-
als, the majority of respondents to the University of Phoenix
survey said that they do not have any interest in seeking a
job in cybersecurity. Nearly all said they would need more
education to get a job in the fi eld, but the survey found that
the top barriers preventing Americans from pursuing an ed-
ucation or career in cybersecurity include time (52 percent),
cost (50 percent) and a lack of knowledge (42 percent).
For people interested in a cyber education or career, Uni-
versity of Phoenix’s College of Information Systems & Tech-
nology prepares cyber professionals to combat increasing
cybercrimes. The University offers associate, bachelor’s and
master’s degrees that teach the risk management and infor-
mation assurance skills vital to an organization’s success.

7 This survey was conducted online within the United States by Har-
ris Poll on behalf of University of Phoenix between August 24 and
September 1, 2017 among 2012 US adults, including 944 who say
they have experienced a personal data breach in the past 3 years.
Figures for age, race/ethnicity, education, region, and household
income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with
their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weight-
ing was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.
