Cybersecurity requires a mix of technical depth, real-world experience, and the ability to think critically under pressure. That combination takes time to build, and most companies are competing for the same relatively small pool of proven talent.

Strong cybersecurity can also boost business valuations and inspire buyer confidence. Both sides of the transaction should treat cybersecurity as a key factor in building enterprise value.
Permitting and construction of new homes is up, but it’s still at historic lows and not enough to keep up with demand. The recent housing production is mostly single-family, with a smattering of multi-family developments but relatively few duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.
