I was not able to find any new cyber attack article that was not already posted in the prior weeks and for this week. So I did not want to be repetitive and post the same thing again. However, I found this article that I thought students who are recently new to the cyber world or profession would find this article interesting. The article still has the focus on cyber attacks and discusses some of the top cyber security companies.
The cyber security market is on the rise and is expected to reach $187.77 billion in 2021. This is due to the increase in cyber attacks involving the internet and cloud computing. Now, there is high demand for cyber security solutions and products. Currently, North America is the world’s largest market for cyber security; however, emerging markets like in the Asia Pacific will have opportunities. There is a major need to protect confidential data for the government, military, financial institutions, hospitals and many other organizations. The cyber security market is divided into four areas: network security, cloud security, wireless security and others. As of now, network security is dominating the market.
Elizabeth,
I do have a hard time too to find good cyber topics that were not covered in the past by other students. However, your topic is very interesting, not only for new Cyber Security students, for all Cyber Security students. There is high demand for people in this field which encourage us to work hard since there is potential grow in this career.
I do believe that this demand increased and will be big after Equifax attacks that no one expected in the past. Many companies are working on creating new IT security departments to protect their IT resources.
This field is new to me, My undergrad studies were in engineering and I am very excited to switch my career and be able to use my technical background to develop new IT security architecture as well as securing excising once.
