Cybersecurity is a broad and in-demand field. Employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 32 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.

NOTE: not all data elements can be aggregated. Some variables (e.g. but not limited to Employment) show multiple occupations. Summing these numbers runs the risk of double counting. Occupation groups were selected based on both CPI/SOC codes and searches for keywords. Not all occupations within an occupation group are shown here, only the more relevant ones are included.

Zane State College has collaborated with Franklin University to offer a 3 + 1 Cybersecurity Pathway to help students take their education to the next level – saving time and money in completion of their Bachelors of Science – Cybersecurity degree.
