Why Traditional Upskilling Strategies Fall Short in Cybersecurity
"Hoang: My background sits at the intersection of enterprise IT, data protection, and cybersecurity. I've spent much of my career working with CIOs and CISOs on resilience - how organizations protect, recover, and govern their most critical data in the face of cyber threats, outages, and operational risk. Today, as CIO at Commvault, I see security not as a standalone function, but as a core business capability."
"Hoang: We're seeing strong demand for hybrid skill sets rather than narrowly defined roles. Security leaders are looking for professionals who combine core security fundamentals with fluency in automation, cloud platforms, and data governance. In particular, roles that bridge security and operations, such as security engineers with automation expertise, cyber resilience architects, and professionals who understand both incident response and recovery, are increasingly critical."
Cybersecurity constantly evolves as threats and technologies change, requiring corresponding shifts in talent and skills. Security should be treated as a core business capability integrated into IT, cloud, and AI initiatives with resilience and recovery designed in from the start. Organizations increasingly demand hybrid professionals who pair core security fundamentals with automation expertise, cloud platform fluency, and data governance knowledge. Critical roles bridge security and operations, including security engineers with automation skills and cyber resilience architects. Essential competencies include incident response and recovery, risk analysis, systems thinking, and translating technical risk into business impact.
