Evolving Cyber Threats Demand Exceptional Cyber Security Recruiting

Recent estimates place the cyber security (also known as cybersecurity or InfoSec) talent shortage at more than 700,000 unfilled jobs in the United States. It is estimated that nearly 70% of security leaders face additional risks due to cybersecurity skills shortages. In addition, more than half have difficulty finding qualified employees. Their concern is well-founded. Cybercrime threats range from assaults by individual hackers to coordinated attacks by nation-states. They include analytics-based phishing and DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks, global data sabotage initiatives, and intelligent malware and ransomware designed to learn your network’s weaknesses and exploit them.

Cybersecurity professionals must possess the skills and adaptability to outwit hackers at every turn. Consequently, 95% of cybersecurity professionals believe more should be done to encourage recruitment. In most cases, it takes longer than three to six months to fill open positions. ISACA says 63% of companies have trouble filling cybersecurity positions. By incorporating cybersecurity recruiting into your talent acquisition strategy, your organization can actively address the skills shortage and strengthen its defenses against cyber threats.

How Cyber Security Recruitment Outsmarts Your Cyber Security Talent Shortage

To develop a well-executed security protocol, your organization must have Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) with a high-level understanding of strategy that looks beyond individual threat incidents and views the IT landscape. You need board members and cyber executives who will support evolving security initiatives designed to address both current and emerging threats. And you need talented data scientists, software engineers, cyber security engineers, security consultants, and IT personnel who can implement a strategy.
