In today’s increasingly expensive economy, a college degree can mean the difference between long-term financial security and a paycheck-to-paycheck existence. In fact, according to data from the Social Security Administration, a U.S. male with a bachelor’s degree will earn approximately $900,000 more in his lifetime than one with only a high school diploma. The same male with a gradate degree would earn $1.5 million more.

Of course, enrolling in college isn’t enough to guarantee financial success—you have to actually finish your studies. Statistics show that this may be easier said than done, with one in three students forced to leave college for at least one semester and 41 percent failing to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree within six years of enrollment.

Data breaches have quickly become a major threat to industries operating in the digital space, causing companies to get proactive with their security strategies and tactics.

The best way to prevent hackers is to know how to think like one. Based in Redwood City, California, Synack is a security company that is revolutionizing the ways in which we view cybersecurity: through the eyes of a hacker.

Hacker attacks occur every 39 seconds and affect 33 percent of Americans each year. Forty-three percent of cyber-attacks target small businesses. Sixty-four percent of companies have experienced web-based attacks, while 62 percent have been victims of phishing and social engineering attacks, and 59 percent have fallen prey to malicious code and botnets. Since 2013, data breaches have enabled the theft of more than 3 million records each day.

If you regularly worry about money, you’re definitely not alone. According to the Center for Financial Services Innovation, 57 percent of Americans are struggling financially causing them a significant amount of stress.
