REPORT INSIGHTS
Challenge 5:
TALENT SHORTAGE
The report highlights the ongoing
cybersecurity skills shortage, with 51%
of organisations reporting stressed
and challenged staff. To address this
issue, two-thirds of respondents see
recruiting from a diverse talent pool as
a potential solution. Additionally, 35%
are open to working with Managed
Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to
alleviate skill shortages and reduce
internal team burnout.
Over half (51%) of the organisations
surveyed are concerned that stressed
and exhausted security staff could make
them more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
This is exacerbated by the passionate
dedication of the individuals working
in the field, who often put immense
pressure on themselves to protect
their organisations.
As one cyber operations director
aptly said it, “the days are long, and it
requires heavy focus. But the pressure is
also there because, within this industry,
you have very dedicated individuals who
care. It’s not often you find someone
skilled up that doesn’t care; it’s almost
like we’re victims of our own passion.”
