With a significant cybersecurity skills gap and increasing cyberattacks, organizations need all the advantages they can get. A programmatic cyber-awareness training program is one such advantage.
The cybersecurity industry is in the midst of a skills crisis. With a cyberattack occurring approximately every 39 seconds, every business needs a well-trained staff to protect it. How can the void be filled? Artificial intelligence (AI). It’s one of the best hopes for the industry and has the potential to ease the pressures of the security skills shortage.
Companies are struggling to find cybersecurity talent, and roles remain unfilled for months at a time. But is there really a lack of qualified candidates on the market? Is the problem with the lack of skills - or are we inadvertently limiting the talent pool before we even post the job spec?
At this point, it’s a truism that the tech industry needs more women. But one sector that holds incredible opportunity is cybersecurity. By next year, millions of cyber jobs will be available, but unfilled.
A new report that examines the processes and effectiveness of corporate security operations centers (SOCs) reveals that 82% of SOCs are confident in the ability to detect cyberthreats, despite just 22% of frontline workers tracking mean time to detection (MTTD), which helps determine hacker dwell time.
Fullstack Cyber Bootcamp, New York City's cybersecurity bootcamp partner, announced an initiative to offer free introductory courses to people nationwide, providing an opportunity for individuals to explore the cybersecurity industry as a potential career path.
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released a report outlining best practices in building the cybersecurity workforce through regional partnerships.
