Upskill and stay current
Since the evolution of Information security, the industry has been seeing a steep rise in security attacks, threats and ransomware, eventually, the need for professional security personnel to defend. The latest digital transformation has witnessed an organization massively depend on Third-Party products and services which has resulted in very high associated risks. Gladly, today the industry has an all-time high demand for seasoned risk professionals to perform Risk Assessments and manage these risks.
Companies are looking to hire security and TPRM professionals with proven skills and relative experience. But, there is an acute shortage of such skilled risk professionals. Further, the available personnel are not up-to-date with best industry practices and they lack enough practical exposure and experience.
As per Gartner’s article in 2023 (here), Modern cybersecurity leaders will use a human-centric design to strengthen their programs and optimize human potential. Their strategic planning assumption is
By 2025, a lack of talent or human failure will be responsible for over half of significant cyber incidents.
By 2025, insider risk will cause 50% of organizations to adopt formal programs to manage it, up from 10% today.
Gartner predictions for 2023 reveal that challenges confronting CISOs are evolving beyond technology, cybersecurity and controls. Meeting these challenges will require cybersecurity leaders to redouble their focus on people. Their key findings (of the many) are:
Talent churn will damage the mission and cost more
The stressors of the cybersecurity world make the job of a cybersecurity professional unsustainable
There is less than zero per cent unemployment in cybersecurity
Recruiting and retention will be difficult
Burnout and voluntary attrition are outcomes of poor organizational culture
Embed security as an ideology in your enterprise
