Cybersecurity Professional BootcampAbout the CybersecurityProfessional BootcampImagine the following scenario.You arrive at work, ready to start your day. You open a browser and navigate to your company’s website, only to find that a hackergroup’s logo has replaced the content your team has worked so hard to build. The damage to your company’s reputation doesn’t stopwith the obvious fact that it was vulnerable to a security breach. The trust that your company has built with its clients is gone in aninstant, as any sensitive information that was stored in the website’s database is now in the hands of the malicious attackers, and ismost likely already on the dark web.Information theft is continually on the rise and can cost businesses untold sums of hard-earned revenue, but another alarmingtarget is our critical infrastructure. While many businesses are improving their ability to implement effective preventative measures,by the time they have caught up with the latest attacks, “in the shape-shifting world of cybersecurity, attackers have already movedon to indirect targets, such as vendors and other third parties in the supply chain,” a recent report states. “It is a situation that createsnew battlegrounds even before they have mastered the fight in their own backyard.”1 To add to the list of threats, cyber criminalsalso target the growing array of IoT devices, pacemakers, and automobiles, posing a threat not only to our finances and privacy, butalso to our health and safety.Now more than ever, we must address the growing shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals, not only to protect our sensitivedata and personal safety, but also to defend our livelihood and ensure the integrity of the systems we rely upon every day. The needfor more qualified cybersecurity professionals is not only linked to the increase in the types of attacks, but also the sheer volume.According to the Herjavec Group, “2020 was the worst year on record in terms of the data breaches that occurred[.] A staggering 36billion records were exposed, many of which were vulnerable due to poor hygiene, and a rise in social engineering threats.”2The cutting-edge Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp was developed in partnership with thought leaders in the industry toaddress these needs.
