A study has revealed that nearly two-thirds (65%) of cybersecurity professionals struggle to define their career paths.
The study by the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and independent industry analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) found two big “red flags”: The majority of cybersecurity professionals aren’t receiving the right level of skills development to address the rapidly evolving threat landscape. And the skills shortage has created a job market that represents an existential threat, adding job-related stress to cybersecurity personnel while making it harder for organizations to protect critical IT assets.
