8 What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.

9 The Cost of Cybersecurity Attacks By 2018, nearly 70 percent of businesses had experienced some form of cybersecurity attack, and over half of them had experienced a data breach. 60 percent of small businesses will close within six months of a major cyberattack. Norton Security estimates that by 2023 cybercriminals will be stealing a total of 33 billion records a year. The average cost of a data breach has risen to $3.86 million, with the cost of each data record breached weighing in at $148.

10 The Gap Estimates indicate women make up between 13-18% of the cybersecurity workforce. Cybercrime will more than triple the number of job openings over the next 5 years. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts there will be 3.5 million cybersecurity job openings by We have to consider alternative paths to filing the pipeline: Engaging girls in middle school Vocational or skill based education Apprentice, Internship, and Co-Op programs Certifications
