Wayne Selk CompTIA’s recently released State of Cybersecurity 2025 report which says that although U.S. cybersecurity employment is projected to grow 267% above the national growth rate, there remains a disconnect between planned investments and perceived results. As October’s cybersecurity awareness month wraps up, Wayne Selk - vice president of cybersecurity programs, CompTIA Community - will discuss all things cybersecurity and how cybersecurity affects the IT channel businesses. Selk discusses CompTIA’s recently released State of Cybersecurity 2025 report which says that although U.S. cybersecurity employment is projected to grow 267% above the national growth rate, there remains a disconnect between planned investments and perceived results. Across the six global regions surveyed in CompTIA’s State of Cybersecurity 2025 study, only 25% of individuals feel that the overall direction of cybersecurity is improving dramatically, and only 22% would characterize their organization’s cybersecurity efforts as completely satisfactory - Selk discusses his team’s plan to address this area with training aligned to the Cybersecurity Trustmark. Selk examines why it’s essential for companies, including MSPs and their clients, to have cybersecurity measures in place, what are the leading cyber threats that MSPs currently face and what might be some emerging threats as the New Year approaches. Lastly, he will highlight what MSPs can focus on to protect themselves and their customers as well as offers advice to companies who are interested in protecting their business from a cybersecurity standpoint.
