Cyber Security: One of the Fastest Growing Industries Today

Today's world is filled with everyday technology, and since this growth has taken place across multiple fields ranging from corporate businesses, financial institutions, medical facilities, and small retail, many have faced the issue of keeping themselves protected from cyber thieves. Since the growth of technology has happened so quickly, there has been a shortage of employees qualified to manage this protection. The Cyber Security program offers an opportunity for students to jumpstart their career by learning the skills needed to be successful to help fill the void of these high-demand jobs. With Ohio considered as the Big Data Hub of the Midwest, jobs within the Cyber Security field are only going to continue to grow as the need for technology increases. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs as network systems and information security professionals are expected to grow by 53 percent through 2018!
