State of #Cybersecurity 2020 shows that it is mostly a human resources problem - which is not going to be resolved soon and may bee exacerbated with enhanced remote work via @ISACA @CybersecurityHub | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

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?
Farid Mheir's insight:

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.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: short video on the creator of Linux the operating system that powers most of the digital revolution. his explanation of the personal characteristics that made him great (stubborn, focus, lack people skills) are quite common in the tech world. For those inside my world, this is going to sound familiar. For others, it may help you understand a bit more your strange tech guy in the IT department...
