Stubborn workforce challenges call for new approaches in building security teams
Without robust, well-resourced cybersecurity teams, organizations are unable to protect their precious assets or prevent high-profile cyber incidents that erode user trust.
The increasing digitization of the business world has led to a surge in the demand for cybersecurity professionals at a time when the emerging technology and threat landscape is making the job more and more challenging. The good news is there are tangible steps organizations can take to position themselves to build the security teams they need to protect their organizations’ critical assets and brand reputations.
New global research from ISACA reinforces that stubborn workforce dynamics on the cybersecurity landscape remain problematic. That starts with still not having enough qualified people to do the work. The majority of cybersecurity leaders (59%) report that their teams are understaffed. The pursuit of talent could become even more of an uphill climb in the coming year, particularly for technical experts, as 78% of respondents expect demand for technical individual contributors to increase.
