Security Outsourcing On The Rise As CISOs Seek Cyber Relief
CSO Online, Tuesday, October 29th, 2024
Security chiefs see managed security providers as an opportunity to tap seasoned practitioners, as persistent talent shortages complicate their in-house cyber strategies.
Security software and services spending is growing faster than staffing budgets, recasting security leaders in the role of quantity surveyors rather than builders of enterprise security.
Gartner predicts that security services spending will increase 15.8% to reach $86.1 billion next year. The long-running global skills shortage in the cybersecurity industry is pushing investment towards security services, reshaping how enterprises approach the challenge of securing their infrastructures.
