Article

The article I chose for this week discusses the increased demand for cyber security in the UK over recent years. In the past five years, the UK’s cyber security workforce has increased by 163%. Since last year, the average salary of cyber security professionals has increased by 7%. Additionally the article listed statistics on job openings in the field, stating that by 2020 there will be a shortage of 1.5 million security professionals. The majority of available positions are security analysts, consultants, engineers, managers, and architects.
