The increase in the number of cybersecurity breaches in the past decade highlighted the magnitude and the complexity of the cybersecurity problem. The shortage in the number of qualified cybersecurity professionals is a challenge that has long-term security implications. Information and cybersecurity professional’s role is to guard against such activities and threats. The evolution of the information profession was shaped overtime with the evolution of information disciplines.

The big shift and transformation of the information profession happened with the invention of computers and the idea of using computer to store and retrieve information.
