CERTIFIED CYBERSECURITY TECHNICIAN

Massive Problems
Insecurity continues to surge year on year

Global cybercrime costs to grow by 15 percent per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5 trillion
USD annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion USD in 2015.

Ransomware damages would cost the world $5 billion (USD) in 2017, up from $325 million in 2015 — a
15X increase in just two years. The damages for 2018 were predicted to reach $8 billion, for 2019 the
figure was $11.5 billion, and in 2021 it was $20 billion — which is 57X more than it was in 2015.

Global spending on security awareness training for employees (previously one of the most underspent
cybersecurity budget items) is predicted to reach $10 billion by 2027

Over an eight-year period, the number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs grew by 350 percent, from one
million positions in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2021.
