MKTG 349 Week 2- Growth of Cybersecurity

Today, people carry a tiny computer in their pockets daily. Computers keep important data, such as location, passwords, and more. Cybercriminal activity and unauthorized accesses haunt computers every second. Cybersecurity has become a necessity.

Cybersecurity has seen steady growth and is predicted to continue. Over the last 12 months Google Trends has documented a continual increase in the interest of cybersecurity. The rise of cybersecurity is attributed to multiple factors in Amit D.’s article “Future of the Cybersecurity Job Market 2022”. Cybercrimes have increased exponentially with the emergence of disruptive technologies. Businesses are investing more in cybersecurity. The popularity of cybersecurity leads to a need for employees.

Increased awareness of cybersecurity demands a proper workforce. Amit D. further discusses the desire for a larger workforce. There has been a 94% increase in cybersecurity jobs since 2013. Many cybersecurity listings go unfilled due to a lack of attractive benefits, burnout, and the gender pay gap. Cybersecurity employees work in high-stress environments that promote employees to leave. Cybersecurity is a male-dominated career. Women in cybersecurity are paid 21% less than men in the same field. Cybersecurity requires a larger workforce to combat the increase in cybercrimes.

Cybersecurity has become a popular topic in recent years. Individuals and companies are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of cybercrimes. Cybersecurity requires an appropriate amount of qualified employees. In the future, cybersecurity will continue to be an important topic.
