Local government leaders: San Antonio becoming ‘Cybersecurity City USA’

SAN ANTONIO — Did you know San Antonio ranks second only to the nation’s capital for cybersecurity resources?

In fact, San Antonio, or “Cybersecurity City USA,” has a tremendous amount of jobs. The local industry just needs to fill them.

“In Texas last year, there were 40,000 computing jobs that went unfilled. The average salary for those jobs is $89,000. That’s more than double the average in the state of Texas,” Congressman Will Hurd said. “There’s a lot of jobs right here in Texas that we just need to make sure we’re educating our kids to take.”

This is the third year for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Cybersecurity campaign.

“With about 50 billion devices being connected to the Internet by 2020, that means there’s lots of ways that different cybersecurity threats can get in through organized crime or even terrorist organizations,” said Belinda Matingou, regional executive director of the Texas Association of Business. For the full article click here
