With AI-powered cyber threats growing by the day, the cyber skills gap reached 4 million people in 2023. Gartner theorizes that by 2028, the adoption of GenAI will significantly reduce that gap, removing the need for specialized education from 50% of entry-level cybersecurity positions. This would alleviate a major challenge facing the cybersecurity community… but what about today?

Most businesses are anxious to embrace the power of generative AI, but only a small proportion currently feel they have the technology, funding, culture and skills in place to support its adoption — and the cybersecurity skills gap is at the heart of this deficit, which is why the industry is already seeing changes in how we work to create a safer world.
