Do you agree or disagree and WHY?
There is a clear difference in the cybersecurity workforce between now and the last 10 years. Since the technology advancement, the people’s interest, and nature the business is changed through time. Ten years ago the professional hackers were not organized tremendously as of now. The cyber threat was not that much a big deal. The Malware programs such as worms, viruses and Trojans written by teenagers did not affect the system as we see today. The malwares may harm the disk or erase the data. As a result, the cybersecurity workforce both in private and government organizations did not have the complicated threat or risk. Now, the story is different; the professional gangsters use their skill to be a millionaire and for other mission. They hack organizations to ask ransom. Today’s organizations are in a big threat of cyber warfare. Cybersecurity experts are also improving the system architecture and defensing mechanisms to fight the most skilled professional criminals. Ten year ago, there was no strong collaboration between private sectors and government agencies in fighting cybercrime. The next ten years will become a challenge for cybersecurity workforce. This is because the cyberwarfare becomes the most profitable business that can make a millionaire in one night. So, the gangsters will be more organized and proceed the attack in a very complicated manner. I will expect the private sectors and government agencies to work hand in hand to defend the attackers. Finally, there will be very strict law enforcement globally to defend the criminals. What is more, working on advanced security mechanisms like security tools, ISMS, and over technology advancement will be expected the next 10 years (Grimes, 2018).
