About this event

Atlanta Innovates is a series about industries that Atlanta is leading the charge in and how you can land a job in the booming job market. This first event focuses on Cybersecurity. According to the Technology Association of Georgia, Georgia is home to more than 115 information security companies and ranks third in the nation for information security.

In this new digital world, the job demand in cybersecurity has exploded. From the large financial institutions, to the insurance companies, to the government agencies, everyone needs cyber security to identify the changing nature of IT threats and to protect consumer information. Venture Atlanta states that "the upswing in cyber espionage incidences, increased use of outsourcing services by corporations, sharing of enormous amounts of data as a trade-off for convenience by consumers, and the growing ubiquity of the Internet of Things is creating a perfect storm of demand for cybersecurity."*

Come join us and our panel of experts to learn more about the Cybersecurity landscape, what a cybersecurity job entails, and whether this is the career suited for you.
