INSIDE THE ALMANAC:
If it were measured as a country, then cybercrime - which is predicted to inflict annual damages totaling $10.5 trillion USD globally by 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures - would be the world’s third-largest economy after the U.S. and China, surpassing the wealth of entire nations.
The global cost of ransomware was predicted to reach $20 billion USD in 2021, up from $325 million USD in 2015. Cybersecurity Ventures expects ransomware damage costs to exceed $265 billion USD annually by 2031.
Global cybersecurity job vacancies grew by 350 percent, from one million openings in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2021, enough to fill 50 NFL stadiums, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. The number of unfilled jobs leveled off in 2022, and remains at 3.5 million in 2024, with around a half-million of those positions in the U.S., according to CyberSeek. Industry efforts to source new talent and tackle burnout continues, but we predict that the disparity between demand and supply will remain through at least 2025.
