Growing Demand for Security Professionals
Research rooting and jailbreaking. What are the advantages? ,What are the disadvantages?
How frequently is this technology used? Can a device that has been broken return to its
default state? If so, how? Finally create a list of at least seven reasons why rooting and
jailbreaking is considered harmful in a corporate environment.
The number one concern of computer professionals today continues to
be information security, and with good reason. Consider the evidence:
over 1.5 billion Yahoo user accounts were compromised in just two
separate attacks.1
A global payment system used to transfer money
attackers who stole $81 billion from the central bank of Bangladesh.3
It is estimated that global spending on products and services to prevent
these attacks will exceed $1 trillion cumulatively between 2017 and
2021. But despite the huge sum spent on protection, cybercrime will
still cost businesses over $6 trillion by 2021.4
As attacks continue to escalate, the need for trained security personnel also increases.
1.5 million unfilled security jobs worldwide and this will grow by 20
percent to 1.8 million by the year 2022.5
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in the “Occupational Outlook Handbook,” the job outlook for information security analysts will grow by 18 percent through 2024, significantly faster than the average growth rate. To verify security competency, most organizations actively use the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) Security+ certification, which serves as a vendor-neutral credential.
Moreover, Security+ stands out as one of the most widely recognized security certifications, establishing itself as the foundation for today’s IT professionals. This certification not only validates essential security skills and knowledge but also equips candidates with the tools they need to succeed. A successful Security+ candidate demonstrates the ability to identify threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities while effectively using security technologies and tools. Additionally, they understand security architecture and design, perform identity and access management, manage risks, and apply cryptography. APA
