The numbers aren’t encouraging for CISOs looking to hire security professionals: The U.S. cybersecurity labor market is short about 500,000 workers, according to a recent report from the nonprofit training group (ISC)².
Here’s more discouraging news: That same report, the 2019 (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study, estimated that the U.S. cybersecurity workforce must grow by 62% to meet the business demands for talent. Globally, the numbers are even more daunting. The group calculated that the global cybersecurity workforce needs to grow by 145% to eliminate the skills gap.
The numbers aren’t particularly surprising, according to leading security authorities who say the report quantifies their hiring experience.
