These are the fastest growing IT jobs
\nIT employment overall increased 3.1%, or by 152,000 jobs in 2015, according to a new analysis of government data by industry group CompTIA.
\nThe analysis was released on Friday.
\nWhile strong hiring delivered employment gains in every IT occupation, here are the top ones:
\nCybersecurity analysts: 85,200 total jobs, +4.8%.
\nWeb developers: 243,800 jobs, +4.2%.
\nSoftware developers, applications: 775,000 jobs, +4%.
\nSoftware developers, systems: 428,000, +3.8%
\nSystems analysts, 647,000, +3.8%
\nComputer user support specialists, 685,000 +3.3%
\nIT managers, CIOs, 371,000, +3.1%
\nOil and gas “is one of the most IT-dependent industries,” said Chris Niven, research director for IDC Energy Insights.
\nThat’s because of the need to analyze what’s going on underground.
\nBut IT spending in the oil and gas industry may decline by as much as 3% this year.
\nThe industry is making greater use of cloud and outsourcing to cut costs, said Niven.

The psychology of trust in websites [INFOGRAPHIC]
\n1 in 4 people don\u2019t trust any online organisation with their personal details and 43% of users are worried about the general security issues of shopping online, according to this new infographic from Symantec.
\nThe charts below are based on Symantec\u2019s survey data, and provides a step by step guide to making your website more trustworthy.

What You Need to Know About Email Security in 2016
\nSAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
\nThe team of ethical hackers and cybersecurity auditors at \u00aebuguroo thinks the answer is a next-generation online fraud detection solution that can detect hijacked sessions in real time and stop them before the money leaves the bank.
\nbuguroo bugFraud Defense is very easy to implement at the Web server level for both development and security teams.
\nIt requires only a lightweight modification in regular server content to link online sessions to the cloud-based fraud detection engine.
\nThe solution has already proven itself in several competitive evaluations and trials and is currently being rolled out in production implementations to protect tens of millions of end-user customers for its industry-leading multinational clients in banking and other sectors.
\nAccording to The Radicati Group, Inc.\u2019s Email Statistics Report, 2015 \u2013 2019:
\nThere were over 205 billion emails sent and received per day in 2015 alone.
\nThis figure is expected to grow at an annual rate of 3%, by as much as 246+ billion emails come year-end 2019.
\nOf the 205 billion, a total of 122 business emails were sent and received per user per day, proof that email remains the primary communication channel in the office.
\nBut while most entities look for flexible solutions to meet the growing need for email security, one fact is often overlooked:
\nIn its 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report, misdelivery is the most frequent error cited by Verizon when it comes to accidental proprietary data disclosures, 30.6%, followed by capacity shortage at 29.5%.

Google to start banning Flash adverts
\nWhile display ads will all be HTML5 before January next year, Google says those who create video ads in Flash aren’t impacted at this time, although we don’t imagine it’ll be long before video ad makers will be pushed in the same direction.
\nFrom June 30, developers with Flash-based display ads can forget uploading them to Google’s AdWords and DoubleClick Digital Marketing.

New Fraud Taskforce: Game-Changer or PR Move?
\nThe formation of a new U.K. taskforce that aims to curb financial fraud and cybercrime by facilitating stronger collaboration among banks, government and law enforcement is getting mixed reviews from industry experts.
\nThe Joint Fraud Taskforce, announced last week by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Theresa May, includes representation from the London Police, the National Crime Agency, the Financial Fraud Action UK, the Bank of England, British fraud-prevention agency Cifas and CEOs from the country’s major banks.
\nThe taskforce’s initiatives include:
\nBetter understanding cyberthreats, by identifying intelligence gaps and vulnerabilities;
\nFast-tracking intelligence sharing between banks and law enforcement for a more coordinated approach to track down cybercriminals;
\nCreating a new list of the top 10 most-wanted fraudsters;
\nDeveloping a more efficient system for identifying cybercrime victims and potential victims;
\nA nationwide rollout of cybercrime intervention training for bank staff;
\nConsumer and business education about cybercrime to raise public awareness; and
\nRemoving weak links in financial systems and processes that can be exploited by fraudsters.
