As businesses everywhere continue to grow, so does the need for qualified cybersecurity professionals. Yet leaders say that finding, recruiting, and retaining skilled cyber talent remains a challenge.
According to the Fortinet 2024 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report, 70% of respondents indicated that the ongoing talent shortage puts their organization at greater risk of a breach.
It's encouraging to see some organizations implementing unique recruiting and training programs to attract new talent to cybersecurity. Nearly three-quarters of IT decision-makers say they have structured recruiting initiatives targeting women, and 60% have similar programs for minorities.
