Why Cyber Security

CyberSecurity is one of the best career opportunities today. The demand for workers in CyberSecurity is very high. According to Cyberseek, there are over 550,000 job openings nationwide. In the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater job market they estimate over 7,000 job openings, but the supply of qualified workers is very weak. This makes CyberSecurity a perfect choice for a job seeker looking into get into a career with lots of potential to move up the ladder. Virtually every day there are news articles about hacking and cyber attacks. The need is through the roof for businesses, the military and government bureaucracies–at the local, state and federal levels.
