Underlying today’s security challenges is the cyber talent gap. Barebones security teams are taking on increasingly sophisticated adversaries, juggling an expanding and rapidly changing attack surface and struggling to find infosec candidates with the right expertise for their security objectives. With an estimated four million positions unfilled worldwide, organizations need on-demand security talent for pentesting and broader security objectives.
Recruiting for cybersecurity talent is a challenge; there are simply not enough cyber professionals in the market today. Outsourcing the work to contractors takes too long and consulting firms cannot staff their services.
Specialized skill sets are essential to adapt to today’s security challenges, but it’s difficult to recruit the right people needed to secure the attack surface. In one report, 50% of candidates lacked required cloud expertise.
Shortages in cyber talent mean fierce salary competition, leaving industries like public sector and finance to suffer from disproportionate hiring costs.
