CISOs: The Cybersecurity Talent Shortage Will Get Worse
62% of CISOs think the global cybersecurity talent shortage will get worse over the next five years, according to Global Snapshot: The CISO in 2020, a report that explores the role and demographics of CISOs.
The report by Marlin Hawk, an executive search firm, suggests that the demands of such a rapidly evolving role mean that senior candidates often lack the right level of technical knowledge (34%), don’t have the right experience (30%) or simply aren’t the right cultural fit (10%).
