Cybersecurity Ventures predicts a global cybercrime epidemic—cost estimates have risen from $400 million in early 2015, and are now predicted to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021. They also predict there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions globally by 2021. In addition, every IT position is also a cybersecurity position now. Every IT worker, every technology worker, needs to be involved with protecting and defending apps, data, devices, infrastructure, and people. If that is true, then the cybersecurity workforce shortage is even greater than what the numbers suggest.
