2019-02-25 14:00:00 | Why Cybersecurity Experts Are Being Recruited Left and Right (lien direct) |
Once upon a time, businesses needed to take light cybersecurity precautions to ward off amateur hackers. A business owner may have recruited their tech-savvy nephew to protect their system, barely worrying about the risk. Today, the world of cybersecurity has done a 180 — it’s now a top concern for businesses. As businesses swiftly adapt to the changing digital environment, new technology means more cybersecurity concerns.
Businesses are now using new tech for an assortment of needs, from the recruitment process to audience discovery and beyond. On top of that, as consumers continue to shop online and use the internet to store all sorts of personal information, hackers have only grown in their knowledge and resourcefulness to create clever, threatening ways to attack businesses. And for good reason: Uncovering financial and health information is worth a lot of money for hackers.
The Demand for Cybersecurity Specialists
Cybersecurity professionals are in incredibly high demand right now. Experts predict that by the year 2021, as many as 3.5 million cybersecurity positions will be unfilled. That means a lot of businesses will be exposed to potentially ruinous risk.
The internet of things (IoT) has created more opportunities for employees and consumers to stay connected through an assortment of tools, from smartphones to smart home appliances. Every time another device connects to the internet, another security risk opens up. When valuable personal information is transmitted, those devices and connections become gold mines for hackers.
Additionally, any business that has some type of online presence, whether it’s a customer-facing retail store or employees who use an internal, internet-connected system, needs cybersecurity services. Certain industries have even more of a pressing need than others:
Finance
Government agencies
Media
Retail
Tech companies
These industries deal in high levels of personal information that, if a hacker accessed it, would be detrimental to the business as well as its customers.
How Do Cybersecurity Experts Protect Businesses?
In 2014, Sony Pictures was the target of a major cybersecurity attack. According to Michael Lynton, chief executive, “There's no playbook for this, so you are, in essence, trying to look at the situation as it unfolds and make decisions without being able to refer to a lot of experiences you've had in the past or other people's experiences. You're on completely new ground.”
This is a common sentiment, but it may be unfounded. Even five years ago, cybersecurity pros noted that Sony should have, and could have, been better prepared.
