October 2015 results from the Raytheon-NCSA survey of young adults in 12 countries about cybersecurity career interest and preparedness.

From the report, “When it comes to the increasing cybersecurity risk faced by commercial companies, leaders in government, private enterprise and academia express varying opinions. However, a common thread is a shared sense that leaders feel overwhelmed by the growing threats and see a lack of focus and commitment to basic — but often difficult — principles across their operations. Many people, including those at organizations’ highest levels, assume cybersecurity has become a problem we cannot fix. But we can.”

The purpose of this research is to understand the big trends or changes that will impact the security posture of organizations in both the public and private sector in the next three years. Moreover, the study looks at the next generation of protocols and practices as the cybersecurity field evolves and matures.
