- (1888PressRelease) September 22, 2011 - Salt Lake City, Utah - According to President Obama,"America's economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cyber security." *This statement rings very true especially when you think about the extent of our reliance upon computers. On a macro level, we use computers to conduct trade, to fulfill our consumer needs, to run businesses, and even for social interactions. On a micro level, CIA intelligence, military information, transmission of electricity, water, and oil across the country, transport systems, banking institutions and more are all monitored through the internet. Hence, a breach in cyber security could result in a potential loss of individual privacy, collapse of businesses, crashes in the stock market and banking institutions, leaks in classified and military information to terrorist organizations, and a complete disintegration of public infrastructure. Therefore every business, corporation, and government agency needs skilled, qualified IT security professionals.
