Cybersecurity Trends And Practices
FutureCIO, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
Cybersecurity, safeguarding computer information systems, hardware, networks, and data, has been one of the top priorities of organisations across all industries globally. While technology becomes more sophisticated and cybercrimes become more threatening, practices to protect organisational assets against cyber threats increasingly become necessary.
Statista notes that there are around 5.45 million cybersecurity professionals globally in 2023. Even though the number has increased from 4.6 million professionals in 2022, the talent gap remains to be wide in the industry, as the demand for cybersecurity skills continually shoots up. Even with a widening gap, current cybersecurity professionals make the most they can with the skills they have learned throughout the years.
