Cybersecurity is a red-hot career field — fast-paced, rapidly growing, and high paying. And no wonder: Accenture’s State of Cybersecurity Report 2021<\/a> states that the number of cyberattacks increased 31% between 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\r\n

Now more than ever, the world needs smart, driven cyberdefenders to help battle the onslaught. The potential for remote work doesn't hurt the appeal, either.<\/p>\r\n

Research from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<\/a> shows that the tech industry, compared to private industry overall, is very white (63.5 - 68.5%) and very male (52-64%).<\/p>\r\n

Cybersecurity career opportunities and education pathways might be more readily available to those who identify with that descriptor, which is where our list of cybersecurity resources come in.<\/p>\r\n

The following list includes everything from certification opportunities to diversity, equity, and inclusion resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Expansion<\/h2>\r\n

A diverse cybersecurity team<\/a> avoids more errors, makes more money, and loses fewer members. The cybersecurity sector is now branching out to include more professionals from historically underrepresented groups<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Find out more about how to overcome obstacles and be part of expanding diversity and inclusion in the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \n\n

Careers<\/h2>\r\n

In-demand, lucrative, and personally rewarding, cybersecurity careers<\/a> make a top choice for tech-savvy professionals. They may especially appeal to people with a natural, if perhaps unnurtured<\/a>, interest in mathematics and coding.<\/p>\r\n

As of 2022, the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a> (BLS) projects that information security analysts jobs<\/a> will grow by 35% between 2021 and 2031. These jobs pay a median salary of $102,600. Learn more about other leading cybersecurity careers at the links below.<\/p>\r\n
