As ever-greater amounts of trivial and personal information are digitalized, the demand for cybersecurity and protection from things like identity theft is growing higher. Not surprisingly, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for information security analysts is expected to grow upwards of 33% by 2030. This makes cybersecurity trade shows important events to participate in.
