Why learn cybersecurity now?

Cyber threats are growing exponentially, and the talent gap is massive. Most people and businesses are vulnerable because they:

Don't understand basic security hygiene — passwords, phishing, social engineering
Have no idea what happens during a data breach or how to respond
Leave personal and business data exposed without realizing it
Miss career opportunities in a field with 3.5 million unfilled jobs globally

Cybersecurity professionals are in massive demand. The average salary exceeds $100K, and the field is growing 35% year over year.
