The demand for cybersecurity experts is growing because of the high risk of hacker attacks, but the labor market can not adequately respond. According to experts, in 2022 the world labor market will be missing 1.8 million experts in the field of information security.
In five years, the computer networks of large companies will be vulnerable as never before, because the society will lack 1.8 million professionals who can protect computer networks from hacker attacks, the Gadgetsnow website reports with reference to the results of the Worldwide Information Security Workforce.
Most of all security professionals are required in the Asia-Pacific region.
HR managers say that companies are ready to invest in training talented youth, as data theft and breaches of confidentiality can cost millions of dollars and lead to damage to the brand image. The high level of threat was contributed by the appearance of blanks for viruses, which can take advantage of an experienced hacker.
The problem is that universities produce high-quality developers, but do not teach how to protect their development. However, many countries are finding a way out.
Thus, the organization CyberSecurityWorks from Chinnaya re-educates specialists in the field of information technology.
"We hire engineers with experience with domains and train their cyber security. The developer will be trained in testing the security of his web applications. Network engineer learns to test the level of security in networks. Only if you understand something, you can protect it, "says Ram Svaroup, co-founder of CyberSecurityWorks.
