According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cost of cybercrime will double from $3 trillion globally in 2015 to $6 trillion by 2021. The number of open cybersecurity jobs will increase from 1 million in 2016 to 1.5 million by 2019. Right now, in the U.S. there are nearly 350,000 job openings for cybersecurity professionals, and fewer than 800,000 people total in the nation’s cybersecurity work force. There are 30,000 open postings for people with the Certified Information Security Manager certification — but only about 10,500 certificate holders.”]
