The only secure thing about cybersecurity seems to be the boom in cybersecurity contracts:

The selection of San Antonio as the home for the Air Force’s new cyber security command will result in a technology defense contractor more than doubling the size of its Alamo City office staff over the next 12 months.

EADS North America Defense Security and Systems Solutions Inc. will be looking to fill between 50 and 75 positions over the next year as the company gears up to provide support services for the new cyber command, according to the company’s chairman and CEO Johnnie Hernandez.

…The 24th Air Force command is slated to have up to a $1 billion budget and create up to 400 military and civilian jobs. It will have an annual payroll of $40 million to $45 million.
