The information technology industry has a real problem on its hands – and it’s only getting worse. While cybercrime grows exponentially, businesses are facing a severe cybersecurity talent drought. The supply of available, qualified security professionals is insufficient and the competition for services has dramatically increased.The Cloud Talent Drought Continues
On top of specializations, businesses must defend against threats in real-time, so they should recruit for a 24x7x365 cybersecurity team – adding a layer of difficulty to the hiring process. Cybercriminals do not take a break on weekends, nights or even Christmas Eve, and filling positions with a work schedule across all hours of the day, weekends and holidays is incredibly challenging.
Team and business are dependent on technology-based solutions without the expertise to manage them properly Meanwhile, volumes of cybersecurity jobs sit, unfilled for months at a time, and companies haphazardly attempt to address these labor gaps by providing less-than-adequate training on the job with hopes that technology solutions can make up the rest – despite the demands of cybersecurity rapidly increasing and evolving.
