Millennials like Snapchat, digital banking, online shopping, Whataburger, selfies and Robinhood, the app that lets you trade stocks without paying fees. They also prefer to support local, independent businesses, not global chains; and increasingly, they are living at home and delaying starting a family. And according to some reports, they also are not very loyal workers, and they demand more from their employers than other generations. A career in security is often the road less traveled, but that needs to change in order to ensure future success of the profession and industry.

It took companies an average of 38 days to detect attackers responsible for data breaches between 2014 and 2016, according to a new report published Friday by the Aberdeen Group. "This means that in half of the successful data breaches, detection by the defenders took five to six weeks or less," the report said. "In the other half, detection took as long as four years." The findings come from Cybersecurity: For Defenders, It's About Time, a report from the Aberdeen Group sponsored by McAfee that leveraged data from Verizon's Data Breach Investigation Report to determine "dwell times," or the total time attackers had in a defender's network before being detected.
