Cybercrime is on the rise and we don’t have enough defenders fighting against it. 

In the next few years, cybercrime is estimated to become a multi-trillion dollar industry and that money is going to fund more illegal things. The impact will be felt far beyond cybersecurity. That threat means we need to have the best people working to stop cybercriminals, but there’s currently a shortage of candidates to fill roles. 

Naomi Buckwalter, founder and executive director of Cybersecurity Gatebreakers Foundation told us the answer is to start opening the gates to cybersecurity jobs to people with non-tech backgrounds. 

In this episode #5 of mini-series #1SEAT, she talks about how there are plenty of people who have the right skills.
