The industry is growing at a pace that often exceeds the qualified professionals to fill the number of jobs available. While many cybersecurity jobs are posted by large IT and defense contractors, there is an increase of companies on the commercial side that are also seeking qualified cyber warriors.  \nTo better understand what is occurring in Maryland’s cyber industry, the Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED) worked with the Schaefer Center for Public Policy at the University of Baltimore to field its first-ever survey of Information Technology (IT) establishments to discover which were involved in cyber-related activities. The Schaefer Center contacted 8,296 establishments in Maryland involved in IT, making 24,248 phone calls, an average of 2.9 calls per establishment. Surveying occurred between Marchand July 2014. The survey asked about employment and sales growth, workforce needs, hiring of new workers, and research and development activities. In the end, DBED received data from a statistically-significant 303 firms.  \nThe survey had two major goals: First, to discover the current condition of the cybersecurity sector in Maryland, and second, to discover how many firms are involved in cybersecurity activities and to obtain general information on those activities. Ultimately, understanding how well cybersecurity firms are performing in their respective markets, what workforce issues they may be facing, and how they are expanding their markets will help DBED formulate approaches to and policies for the industry that can support its success in the future.  \nThe survey found that many cybersecurity establishments across the State have recently expanded sales and employment, and the majority believe their  \nbusiness will grow in the immediate future. However, these firms still have a great deal of reliance on Federal contracting, and many would like to see that reliance lessen.  \nSurvey Results  \nDBED’s cyber industry survey asked questions of IT firms involved in cyber-related activities firms in six different areas:  \n• Business Demographics  \n• Business Conditions  \n• Workforce Issues  \n• Entry-Level Jobs and Internships  \n• Customer Location and Industry  \n• Innovation and Research & Development Below are some of the most interesting and relevant findings from this inaugural survey.  \nInvolvement in Cyber-Related Activities  \nDBED’s survey of all IT establishments in the State found that 12.8 percent identified themselves as being involved in cyber-related activities, and that these firms employed a similar percentage of all IT workers. Since the total IT industry in Maryland was made up of 9,563 establishments employing 78,524 people in 20131 , this finding infers that the cyber industry in Maryland included an estimated 1,224 establishments employing 10,051 workers in that same year. The following survey results focus on those cyber firms and their activities.  \n1 Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014  \n2014 CYBER INDUSTRY SURVEY  \nBusiness Demographics  \nMost of Maryland’s cyber establishments were found to be small, locally-owned businesses, with almost half of respondents reporting that they employed under 10 employees. Over 92 percent reported being based in Maryland, and 71 percent reporting that they operate out of one location only. Most firms (84%) have been in existence for five years or more.  \nReported number of employees  \nTwo-thirds of Maryland’s cyber establishments only provide cyber services, but a large minority (28%) provide both services and products. Only 5 percent provide only cybersecurity-related products.  \nProduct-or service-based establishment Product-based  5. 0%  \nServices-based  66. 7% Both  28. 3%  \n0 20 40 60 80  \nWh","cbCaidGMAZEcgg7v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidGMAZEcgg7v","pdf",1001514,"English","# Involvement in Cyber-Related Activities\n# Business Demographics\n## Employees and establishment type\n## Products and services provided\n## Exporting and international customers\n# Business Conditions\n## Employment growth\n## Sales and market growth\n# Workforce Issues\n# Entry-Level Jobs and Internships\n# Customer Location and Industry\n# Innovation and Research & Development","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the 2014 cyber industry survey in Maryland?\",\"answer\":\"The survey aimed to assess the current condition of Maryland’s cybersecurity sector and determine how many firms participate in cyber-related activities, along with general details about those activities.\"},{\"question\":\"How many Maryland IT establishments provided data, and how was the survey conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The Schaefer Center contacted 8,296 IT establishments in Maryland and made 24,248 phone calls on average.
