It is becoming increasingly difficult to find cyber security experts
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, in 2015, the damage from cybercrime (destruction of data, theft of money and intellectual property, loss of working time, etc.) in the world reached $ 3 trillion, and by 2021 will grow to 6 trillion.
During the period from 2016 to 2019, the number of open vacancies for cyber security specialists will increase from one million to one and a half. There are less than 800 thousand people working in the field of cyber security in the US alone, while the number of open vacancies is almost 350 thousand.
Companies have to look for specialists in related fields. Developers of applications and other IT specialists began to migrate to cybersecurity, according to Illumio. The company is trying to attract specialists with experience in government and military fields. Women account for only 11% of cyber security specialists.
One of the most effective ways to search for experts is to conduct competitions among hackers like those held at regional conferences Defcon or HackMiami, according to SecurityScorecard. Trend Micro has been organizing the international championship Capture the Flag for three years in a row. This year, its final round will be held in Japan, Computerworld reports.
