The ISC2 Cybersecurity workforce study highlights a concerning perception among cyber security professionals. After two years of declining investment in hiring and professional development opportunities, organisations are now facing significant skills and staffing shortages - an issue that professionals warn is heightening overall risk.
As technology becomes an increasingly important part of work and life, the need for cyber talent has increased - according to ISC2, the cyber security workforce gap has increased by 19% compared with last year, as the number of workers needed and the number of workers there grow further and further apart.
ISC2 reported that 90% of cyber security professionals believe there exists a skills gap within their organizations, and 35% acknowledged facing both a shortage of workers and skills.
There are currently around 5.5 million people working in cyber security, and a further 4.8 million are needed to meet the global 10.2 million cyber professionals required to ensure firms are fully secure.
