Why Is Certification Important for the Information Technology Industry?
According to Cybersecurity Ventures August 24, 2020 report, global cybercrime costs are expected to grow by “15 percent per year over the next five years and reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.” These cybercrime costs include theft of intellectual property, customer information, theft of personal or corporate financial data, lost productivity, fraud, embezzlement, ransoms for locking systems, and the efforts required to restore changed or deleted data.
A breach of information can be devastating to an organization’s reputation and pose a potential liability.
Demand for Certification in the Information Technology Industry is Growing
The global work environment has changed significantly over the past couple of years as COVID-19 has forced many businesses to move to a remote or blended work scheme and operate from cloud-based platforms. This shift has resulted in a dramatic increase in the transmission of documents, data, and sensitive information over the internet and cybersecurity is now more important than ever.
With the increased risk of cybersecurity breaches, the demand for cyber security standards has grown significantly. With a focus on continual improvement, certified companies must identify the information they are trying to protect, assess the risk factors surrounding this information, and implement the right controls and process to protect it.
