Devoting yourself to cybersecurity is one of the jobs with the most future currently, since the situation we are experiencing caused by Covid-19 has caused many companies to accelerate their digital transformation at full speed.
The digitalization of companies has taken a leap of years in a few months, e-commerce, the migration of applications to the cloud, online stores and teleworking has stimulated the perverse minds of cybercriminals who are already beginning to rub their hands while plotting their crimes. evil plans to get our data.
All this leap to “digital” increases security gaps in companies and the possibility of suffering cyberattacks, as Jesús Romero, partner responsible for Business Security Solutions at PwC, has commented, “it increases the risk of cyberattacks by increasing the surface of exposure to cybercrime.”
The result of the annual survey Digital Trust Survey 2021 presented by Jesús Romero and carried out to 3,249 business and technology executives from around the world, gives a detailed vision of the keys to successfully address current challenges and those to come in the field of cybersecurity.
According to this report, 55% of the companies interviewed plan to increase their cybersecurity budget in the coming year 2021 and 51% hopes to strengthen their teams with new hires.
Other data that this report shows us is that half of those surveyed affirm that cybersecurity and privacy today are present in every decision or business plan.
The report also points out that attacks aimed at cloud services and ransomware stand out, a type of attack where they try to encrypt a company's files and systems to demand a ransom for releasing them. In this previous article you can see an example: Failed Ransomware attack on ENDESA.
It is for all this, as I said at the beginning, that orienting our professional career to the field of cybersecurity is a safe bet, especially specializing in a Master's degree like the one we offer from EIP: Master in Cybersecurity Management, Ethical Hacking and Offensive Security, since as the report indicates, in the next year and beyond, there will be a lot of demand for Cybersecurity professionals.
