Recent studies have revealed a serious shortage of talent to fill cybersecurity positions around the world. For example, the Leviathan Security Group recently reported that “With more than one million cybersecurity positions unfilled worldwide, currently-identified security needs couldn’t be met if every employee at GM, Costco, Home Depot, Delta and Procter & Gamble became security experts tomorrow.”
That’s a sobering number when you consider the threatening environment facing organizations. Even worse, while organizations are coping with more threats, they’re being forced to do it with a very shallow talent pool.
