Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity. Just the title itself sounds important. That’s because, now more than ever, it’s one of the most important facets of tech. Everyone does stuff online, from making purchases to having private discussions, and no one wants their privacy hacked.
“People and organizations need to trust that their digital technologies are safe and secure; otherwise they won’t embrace the digital transformation.”
— Ludmila Morozova-Buss, Vice President of the Global Institute for IT Management
Keeping Information Safe.
We wish our digital lives were impenetrable fortresses, but that’s not always the case. Cybersecurity keeps the super villains from breaking in and fortifies the world against hacking attacks, identity theft and worse. It’s more than just keeping your mom’s credit card safe. It’s an issue around the world.
If you have an eye for gaps and mistakes, love the rush of putting out fires and want to help future-proof our existence, cybersecurity may be for you.
