Cyber security has never been a higher priority, with recent attacks such as the WannaCry ransomware attack bringing down dozens of National Health Service Trusts in May 2017, the Yahoo breach that saw one billion accounts compromised in December 2016, and the Dyn attack, which saw IoT devices turned into a huge botnet that brought down several online services.

This paragraph effectively uses specific high-profile events to emphasise the critical need for cybersecurity training and services.

Would you like to connect this pressing need with ICSS’s role in creating “future cyber warriors”?

In today’s connected world, a breach of one organization can compromise an entire supply chain. It can spell disaster for businesses, eroding public trust and perceptions, whilst leaving them in financial ruin, particularly when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force. It is up to the legitimate security community to learn from each other and share what works and what does not. Most importantly, it’s vital for us all to identify where we can improve and ensure we leave no one behind.

The sophistication of the technology and tactics used by cyber criminals has outpaced the ability of IT and security professionals to address these threats.

Most of the organizations do not have the people or systems to monitor their networks consistently and to determine how they are being infiltrated. Determined attackers and persistent threats are only part of the cyber security skills problem.

This text effectively describes the severity of the modern cybersecurity skills gap and the high stakes involved (e.g., GDPR).
