According to Gartner, cyber-attacks will cost around 8 trillion $ to the corporate world, therefore to prevent itself from these attacks companies are ready to hire persons who will prevent the criminal data breaching. But there is a shortage of talent. There is the heavy demand for persons who will prevent cyber-attacks.  Many companies are turning to another kind of hackers- the white cap. The companies are afraid of blackmail and another sort of criminal activities by cyber attackers. Many big Bug bounty programs will be run by the companies to prevent the mishappenings from any cyber-attack.

These jobs are going to increase in future because of more number of such incidents. There will be the need for protection and new technology. There will be need of real-time monitoring station to prevent these attacks. According to Gartner, criminal data breaches will cost $ 120 billion by 2021. So there is urgent need to have some protection from outright. There needs to be 24/7 monitoring throughout the year. Facebook recently started its Bug Bounty Program. Many more companies are in the race and will soon develop their own protection mechanism. Even the public entities are not saved from these attacks so they also need to pay attention.
