Marshall University Text Book
It is hard to describe the pride I feel when I get good news like this.
After I announced that the book we co-authored with Yuri, Cybersecurity attack and Defense Strategies (you may check the blog post here), some of my Social Media followers reached me to inform me that CSU is not the only Uni that uses our book as a textbook. Our book is also being used by Marshall University in its Cybersecurity classes. It is hard to express my feelings… I know that the younger generation will continue my mission to make cyberspace safer. We are stronger together.

Why master’s degree in cybersecurity?
Cyber security is a national priority. There is a significant talent shortage in cybersecurity. Analysts estimate that there will be 1.5million cyber security job openings by 2019. This is the right field for you if you are interested in entering the field or improving your career within the computing sector. The job opportunities in cyber security are numerous, but you will need to be well-educated to reap the rewards and land high-paying jobs. A recent report found that 84% of cybersecurity jobs require at minimum a bachelor’s degree, and 23% require a master’s. M.S. in Cybersecurity requires significant time and money investment. Cybersecurity is a degree that may be worth the investment, as many employers are looking for a combination of education and experience. Here are some reasons to consider a master’s in cybersecurity.
Cyber security professionals are amongst the most highly-paid IT jobs, with a 9% increase in salary over other IT jobs. An average security software engineer earns $233,333 annually, while a chief secure officer earns $225,000 annually.
Cyber security is a growing concern for organizations and government agencies that are in high demand. This job will not go away as long as computers are used.
There is a huge skill gap between the cybersecurity job requirements and the skills of new B.S. graduates. The government and the private sector have offered financial incentives to those who want to pursue a cybersecurity degree, such as the National Science Foundation Scholarship for Service or the Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP), among others.
