The applicant pool for IT Security is so small that according to employment site Indeed, “When we compare clicks from job seekers to openings for cybersecurity roles posted by employers, we can see just how serious the talent shortage gets and the scale of the risk it represents for organizations.… Suddenly the language of ‘crisis’ seems quite justified.”

Enterprise digital assets are more susceptible to attack than ever before. Companies need seasoned leaders to lead their digital defense. But the shortage of experienced security technologists demands new approaches to filling open positions. Enterprises that wish to survive will need to take the long-term approach and create their own pools of experts.
