The cybersecurity industry is facing a crisis, as the workplace skills gap has grown by quite the margin over the last 12 months, new research has claimed.
In 2021, the world lacked the 2.72 million cybersecurity professionals necessary to secure cybersecurity assets – but it has now risen to 3.4 million this year.
(ISC)2’s 2022 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, based on a survey of just under 12,000 cybersecurity professionals claims that the workforce gap in the cybersecurity industry has widened year-on-year by more than a quarter (26.2%) as demand keeps on growing.
