Contributing Factors that Widened the Cybersecurity Skills Gap
“Move from on-premises systems to cloud – Ten or fifteen years ago, organizations stored their data on premises in a handful of environments. Managing and securing those environments proved relatively simple. Mass cloud migration and the proliferation of hybrid environments has resulted in a much more complex system to secure.”
Broaden Cybersecurity Knowledge in Organization
“While cybersecurity’s professionals remain in high demand, data security has become everyone’s business. To begin with, every IT professional within the organization needs to understand cybersecurity’s. IT can no longer afford to operate in siloes, with security limited to a few specialists.”
Benefit from Automation
“Automation can help, particularly with organizations that lack sufficient skilled security professionals. Security solutions that use artificial intelligence and machine learning, for instance, can proactively address cyberattacks before damage occurs.”
