"Addressing Cybersecurity's Talent Shortage & Its Impact on CISOs"

Recent research from ISC2 shows that the cybersecurity industry continues to face a severe talent shortage as the threat landscape evolves and the skills gap grows. The organization discovered that there is still a need for more than 3.4 million security professionals. Organizations are adopting cloud-first strategies to attain greater scalability and flexibility. In addition, they are using multiple cloud technology providers and database providers, increasing workload, alerts, and data. Complexity requires new tools, practice changes, skill modifications, and increased participation. Furthermore, CISOs lack the budgets and employees to meet the demand in the current economic climate. This affects organizations of all sizes and is partially attributable to an expanding and evolving threat landscape. In 2022 alone, 1,802 data breaches occurred, and 422 million individuals were affected. This article continues to discuss the cybersecurity talent shortage.
