Introduction to Cybersecurity as a Career

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing technology sectors today. With 11 billion currently connected Internet devices and a forecast of 20 billion connected devices by the year 2022, there have never been more access points and vulnerabilities to our sensitive and valuable data than there is today. Because of this, there is an ongoing cybersecurity workforce gap making it increasingly difficult for organizations to find cybersecurity analysts, application security experts, and security leaders at the executive level. Participants will learn what it takes to enter the cybersecurity workforce and how to have a successful career in cybersecurity.
