Cybersecurity is now everyone’s business!

The FBI reports more than 150% increase in cybercrime complaints across all industries in the last 5 years, totaling $37.4 billion in losses. And, the global cost of a data breach climbed over $4.45 million according to IBM. More than half of these costly attacks are aimed at small and medium-sized businesses – our region’s economic engine. Now, pair that with the global shortage of cyber professionals to thwart these attacks—to the tune of 448,000 openings in the U.S. and 5,000 here in San Diego according to Cyberseek—and it becomes mission critical to address the workforce gap.

 Join ISACA San Diego and Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) for a panel discussion about San Diego’s cyber workforce, in-demand skills, talent attraction strategies and regional programs helping to seed and diversify the pipeline for this critical industry.
