Sausalito, Calif. – May 16, 2024
The Cap Times reports that the fastest-growing crime in the U.S., identity theft, is one of the country’s fastest-growing jobs.
While preventing and responding to hacking used to be on a long list of responsibilities handled by all-purpose IT staff, as the threats have grown, it’s increasingly become its own job, and there aren’t enough workers to do it.
According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the specific role of information security analyst is the fifth-fastest growing job in the country.
A 2023 report from Cybersecurity Ventures, meanwhile, estimated that across all cybersecurity roles there are 3.5 million unfilled positions worldwide.
With a median salary of just over $120,000, it’s lucrative work, but hiring managers say the pay alone won’t draw the right workers for jobs that require technical know-how, a love of computers and a strong moral compass.
