In terms of cybersecurity, tomorrow's battles will consist of numerous vectors and origins with multiple vulnerabilities. However, tomorrow's conflicts are here now. Witness DDoS attacks on major multi-nationals, the Conficker and Stuxnet worms and as yet unseen threats. Today, 24/7 business cycles require company infrastructures to always be up. Losing a day in transactions can mean a substantial monetary loss, not to mention lost credibility.

But it's no longer the tried-and-true CISSP certification that matters. Applications, networks, health and privacy are just some of the areas of concern and those working in security with cutting-edge technology are highly sought after. The demand exists for developers who can build secure applications, network engineers with security certifications, and architects who understand how to secure systems and processes.
