The cybersecurity skills gap continues to widen, with severe consequences for organizations worldwide.
More than half of breached organizations face severe security staffing shortages, leading to an average of $1.76 million in additional breach costs.
Skills in cloud security, threat intelligence analysis, incident response, data analysis, risk management, and compliance expertise are in high demand.
Organizations are combatting the skills shortage with strategies such as expanding internal training programs, leveraging AI to augment human capabilities, and focusing on a mix of technical and soft skills.
