Most Employees Say IT Security Functions are Understaffed
A Ponemon Institute study has found that 73 percent of respondents believe their organization’s IT security functions are typically understaffed due to the difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified candidates. According to the report, Staffing the IT Security Function in the Age of Automation: A Study of Organizations in the United States, United Kingdom and APAC, only 29 percent of respondents say they have no difficulty attracting qualified candidates and only 30 percent of respondents say they have no difficulty retaining them. Most respondents think automation will mean increased job security for IT security practitioners, especially those who have the expertise to manage these technologies.
