According the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 35.5 percent by 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for information security analysts is expected to be very high. BLS numbers do not account for the individual work roles in the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework that are being posted so we can only use the statistics for information security analysts. Cyberattacks have grown in frequency and sophistication over the last few years, and many organizations are behind in their ability to detect these attacks. Analysts will be needed to come up with innovative solutions to prevent hackers from stealing critical information or creating havoc on computer networks. The federal government is expected to greatly increase its use of information security analysts and other work roles in the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework to protect the nation's critical information technology (IT) systems. In addition, as the healthcare industry expands its use of electronic medical records, ensuring patients' privacy and protecting personal data are becoming more important. More information security analysts are likely to be needed to create the safeguards that will satisfy patients' concerns
