The shortage of cybersecurity professionals has grown to nearly 3 million globally, with approximately 498,000 openings in North America. In addition, the half-life of technical skills has shrunk to approximately two years. Finding new cybersecurity workers and continually developing their skills is vital for organizations’ data security — and an opportunity for those beginning or progressing their infosec careers.
This episode of the Cyber Work podcast is a rebroadcast of a webinar from April, and features Kathleen Hyde, the chair of cybersecurity programs at Champlain College Online, Scott Madsen, CEO at Cingo Solutions, and Henry Harrison, co-founder and CTO at Garrison. Along with moderator Camille DuPuis, they discuss:
- The effects of the cybersecurity skills gap
- Strategies organizations can use for finding new cybersecurity workers
- Ongoing skill training to keep workers a step ahead of cybercriminals
- Plus questions from live viewers
