I was browsing top cybersecurity news for this week and I came across this article that I believe could be meaningful for a lot of you. Especially for those who are about to graduate this coming August. Alison DeNisco, a Tech Republic writer, conducted a research to reveal the top-rated organizations currently hiring cybersecurity professionals.

Among the group are Apple, Lockheed Martin, Intel and surprisingly several more interesting ones. Alison shared an important statistic revealing that “The US faces a 33% skills shortage for crucial security roles…” Conversely, this gab is shrinking as job seekers in cybersecurity roles rose from 60% in 2014 to 67% today. Let’s hope the trend keep gearing up as these are important positions the U.S. and several other countries need more than ever.
