In this Meet The Gurus discussion, Our Guru, Kevin Cardwell, will help us understand why cybersecurity careers are so invulnerable to downturns.

Come join us to understand why:

• The average pay in cybersecurity (2019) is $99,730 per year or about $50 per hour
• Educational credentials are a bachelors degree (not a master)
• Work experience in a related occupation is only 5 years
• Job growth is projected (2019-2029) at 31% (MUCH faster than the average)

Of course, training is essential to get these jobs, and of course, that is just what we do.
