Why Cybersecurity is a Great Career Field
Businessweek: “In less than two years, more than 93 million Americans have had their personal information lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised… the average identity theft victim spends $834 and 77 hours just clearing his name.”
Washington Post: “We need people who can keep cyber enemies from infiltrating the many operating systems that are now out there…This is as great a threat as nuclear warfare when it comes to ensuring our national security.”
Richard George, technical director, Information Assurance Directorate, National Security Agency (NSA): “The fact that you have all (six levels of federal certification) shows that you have a faculty that understands and can impart that information to the students and get them prepared to go out and make a difference. This is a phenomenal achievement.”
