Cyber Skills & Talent Shortage: Who and Where to Hire?

Despite its increasing importance in businesses, cybersecurity has faced a persistent talent shortage in recent years. According to the latest World Economic Forum report, only 14% of organizations feel confident in their talent pool and their associated skills. This global deficit is further exacerbated by a widening cybersecurity skills gap, hindering organizations' ability to achieve true cyber resilience.

And in a job market where the demand for cybersecurity professionals far exceeds supply, addressing the skills and talent gap must be a top priority. Where should we begin? How can the workforce rise to cybersecurity challenges if their skills are outdated? What measures should public and private stakeholders implement to close the cybersecurity talent gap?
