Hackers keep pumping out new types of malware, and data breaches keep occurring. As of April 8, there were already 281 breaches exposing nearly 6 million records in 2019 so far, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idtheftcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-March-Data-Breach-Package.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Identity Theft Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses can\u2019t afford to sit back and wait until they\u2019re attacked to defend themselves against cybercriminals. With the average cost of a data breach globally totaling $3.86 million according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/security\/data-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">IBM and the Ponemon Institute<\/a>, the wisest course of action is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/12-steps-make-infrastructure-secure-adopt-proactive-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proactively protect<\/a> your organization with a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.<\/p>\n<p>However, everyone looking to effectively combat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/5-big-it-security-concerns-for-businesses-in-2019.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IT security threats<\/a> faces a significant obstacle: a cybersecurity talent shortage. If you\u2019re a business leader seeking to minimize your data breach risk, consider the following information on the extent of this issue and what you can do to overcome it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cybersecurity Workforce Gap by the Numbers<\/strong><br \/>\n(ISC)\u00b2 \u2013 an international, nonprofit association for information security professionals \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isc2.org\/-\/media\/ISC2\/Research\/2018-ISC2-Cybersecurity-Workforce-Study.ashx?la=en&amp;hash=4E09681D0FB51698D9BA6BF13EEABFA48BD17DB0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">released a report<\/a> on the cybersecurity workforce gap in 2018. The report draws on a survey of nearly 1,500 cybersecurity pros and IT pros who spend at least 25 percent of their time on cybersecurity tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few key statistics from the report that illustrate the extent of the talent shortage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The global shortage of cybersecurity professionals is approximately <strong>2.93 million<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>63 percent<\/strong> of survey respondents said their organizations have a shortage of IT staff focused on cybersecurity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>59 percent<\/strong> also say their organizations have a moderate or extreme cyberattack risk level because they lack sufficient cybersecurity talent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAwareness of the cybersecurity skills shortage has been growing worldwide,\u201d the report\u2019s introduction states. \u201cNevertheless, that workforce gap continues to grow, putting organizations at risk. Despite increases in tech spending, this imbalance between supply and demand of skilled professionals continues to leave companies vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Behind the Cybersecurity Talent Gap?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The increasing popularity of e-commerce and rise of new technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/7-things-everyone-should-know-about-mobile-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mobile devices<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/the-internet-of-things-and-security-what-a-business-needs-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet of Things<\/a> has created more opportunities for cybercrime. In the past few years in particular, the demand for cybersecurity talent has surged, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/about\/our-company\/fourth-industrial-revolution\/how-fight-cybersecurity-talent-shortage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Verizon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the supply hasn\u2019t had time to catch up to the skyrocketing demand. Universities and training programs need time to develop the right courses so that job candidates have the cybersecurity skills companies are searching for, Verizon explains.<\/p>\n<p>However, it will take a while for college students to complete the new coursework and find their way into the workforce. Another, faster answer to the talent shortage is for workers to learn through on-the-job training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can Businesses that Need IT Security Expertise Do to Overcome the Talent Gap?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are several ideas out there already concerning how to remedy the growing and highly concerning cybersecurity skills shortage. Here are a few notable proposals:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Form an industry-wide alliance: <\/strong>If large enterprises in the IT world (e.g., Dell, Cisco, Microsoft, Google and so on) join forces, they could put cybersecurity training programs in motion to address the talent shortage, according to the CSO opinion piece \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/3331983\/the-cybersecurity-skills-shortage-is-getting-worse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">The cybersecurity skills shortage is getting worse<\/a>\u201d by Jon Oltsik, a principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broaden the job search to include candidates with potential to learn. <\/strong>Companies shouldn\u2019t necessarily rule out professionals who don\u2019t have the ideal qualifications in terms of degrees, certifications and experience, Arctic Wolf Networks CEO Brian NeSmith advises in the Forbes article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbestechcouncil\/2018\/08\/09\/the-cybersecurity-talent-gap-is-an-industry-crisis\/#33d124f3a6b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">The Cybersecurity Talent Gap Is An Industry Crisis<\/a>.\u201d Be open-minded and consider that intelligent candidates with great problem-solving skills might do well in the role, even if they don\u2019t have all the prerequisites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turn to a third-party provider for assistance. <\/strong>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/managed-security-services-provider-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">managed security services<\/a> provider like Stratosphere Networks can help you gain access to high-level cybersecurity expertise while still containing costs.
