The cybersecurity skills gap has been plaguing enterprises for years—but despite garnering much discussion and media coverage, little progress is being made.
State of Cybersecurity 2020 looks at questions such as:
- How long does it take to fill a cybersecurity role with a qualified candidate?
- What percentage of cybersecurity candidates are qualified for the role?
- Is retention improving or worsening?
- Which cybersecurity skills are in the highest demand?
- Are HR teams informed partners in the search for qualified cybersecurity candidates?
- Are cybersecurity teams becoming more gender-balanced, and are diversity programs doing enough to help?
- What can companies do to staff up more quickly and find better-qualified candidates?
WHY IT MATTERS: this in depth study shows that cybersecurity issues in organizations stem from lack of skilled resources. With covid and remote work on the rise, the importance of cybersecurity is higher than it has ever been.
