Staffing 360 Solutions Announces Availability of a White Paper on the Cyber Security Industry

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2013) -  Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: STAF), an emerging growth public company engaged in the provision of international staffing services in IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and cyber security industries, today announces the release of a white paper on the Cyber Security industry, by market analyst Arthur Goldgaber of Goldgaber Research Group.

Entitled "Cyber Terrorism: The Rising Demand for Cyber Security Professionals," the white paper describes the growing risk of cyber terrorism in today's society and the resulting demand for highly qualified personnel with a background in fighting cyber threats. Estimates for the exact amount of losses to global companies and governments due to cyber crime vary widely, but the paper describes a report from the UK Ministry of Defense that places the annual cost of worldwide cyber crime at $225 billion.

From the white paper, "The number of cyber attacks reported by U.S. federal agencies has skyrocketed 782% since 2006 to nearly 49,000 in 2012. Attacks jumped 13% in 2012 alone, according to the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team. Perhaps it is not surprising then that in a 2009 speech, President Barack Obama stated that cyber security is 'one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation.'"

The paper goes on to say, "Demand for cyber security professionals is growing 3.5 times faster than the demand for other IT jobs and about 12 times quicker than for all other jobs between 2005 and 2012, making it one of the country's most highly sought-after fields."

The publication of the white paper is a part of Staffing 360's investor outreach and education program. To view the full white paper (free of charge, in PDF format), please visit: www.staffing360solutions.com/content/staf_wp_cyber.pdf
