The pandemic has brought many unexpected consequences, such as the spectacular an increase in attacks on all types of public and private institutions, with a special focus on medium-sized businesses, that is, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across all sectors.
As expected, the forecasts for the mCybersecurity Market are promising. According to a study conducted by Transparency Market Research, this market will grow by more than 12% through 2025, driven by the escalating threat landscape.
While cybersecurity used to be the concern of large companies, the current landscape makes it clear that all companies, regardless of size, must pay attention to their digital security.
We brought together four experts in the field of cybersecurity pato analyze the future of this profession and the national outlook in xxx, xxxx, xxxx, and Spain.
1.- The pandemic has led to a dramatic increase in cyberattacks on all types of businesses, large and small. What's the situation like in your country?
Juan Navarro, Cybersecurity Expert, Information Technology Security Consultant – Project Manager at Vueling Airlines, He tells us: «The situation in Spain is very similar to that in the rest of Europe and other Western countries, or countries with widespread adoption of new information technologies. The rapid and widespread adoption of remote work has created a breeding ground for cyberattacks, jeopardizing both business continuity and corporate reputation.”.
»However, what has increased dramatically—and what personally concerns me—are attacks targeting ordinary users like you and me. The ease with which criminals can act, their apparent impunity, and the easy rewards they reap. All of this makes people the favorite target of cybercriminals.".
2. The cybersecurity industry is poised to be one of the most sought-after sectors given the current landscape. What are the future prospects in your country?
JUAN NAVARRO SPAIN
The new post-COVID landscape has led to an increase in digital operations and, consequently, in economic and commercial transactions, as well as other online services that have become a permanent part of our lives.
This means that the demand for both security services and new jobs—which are emerging in response to new ways of interacting—is leading to a massive increase with a global impact, no matter where you are in the world. The magic of the internet.
3.- In order to meet this growing demand for services, it is necessary to have a strong pool of professionals. Do you think the current training programs you are familiar with can provide the market with professionals who are prepared and up to date with the challenges of today’s landscape?
JUAN NAVARRO SPAIN
The answer is clear: there are currently no qualified professionals to meet the needs of companies and organizations.
Can today's training programs provide the market with well-prepared professionals? The answer is yes; there are plenty of relevant and interesting training programs available. The key is to incorporate appropriate guidance into our lives—guidance that helps us choose the right training programs and demonstrates how they can transform you into a valuable asset and a highly regarded professional.
Continuous learning—I myself never stop learning and researching—along with choosing the right technologies and identifying trends, are the keys to success.
