has surged. CISOs now emphasise
a holistic approach, hiring
cybersecurity experts with not just
a proven track record but also the
potential for growth. Attributes like
business acumen, collaboration,
effective communication, and
innovative thinking are becoming
the new benchmarks. The

Navigating the Cybersecurity
Talent Hunt
Amidst the growing demand for
skilled cybersecurity professionals,
the challenge lies in enticing
top talent. The motivations of
today’s workforce go far beyond
just financial incentives, so
crafting an appealing employee
value proposition and presenting
the organisation’s allure is key.
This entails showcasing the
comprehensive experience,
encompassing well-being, benefits,
and the organisational culture. For
the cybersecurity realm, highlighting
the opportunity to engage with
cutting-edge technologies and push
the boundaries can be a major draw.
Identifying a resonating factor, such as
a shared commitment to raising the
bar of your cyber defence plan, holds
immense significance. But, ultimately,
CISOs are marketing opportunities to
the brightest minds.
