With more and more hackers attacking even the most secure websites and firewalls, it\u2019s becoming abundantly clear that businesses need to have cybersecurity professionals on their payroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s one problem. There aren\u2019t enough cybersecurity professionals to go around. It\u2019s making it harder to hire the staff that is needed and stay within budget. It seems that professionals know just how highly sought after they are. It means they can essentially name their price in order to get hired somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><strong>More Attacks Lead to More Concerns<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some serious attacks have been made to show companies and government agencies around the world that cybersecurity professionals are worth their weight in gold. The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack was a costly one \u2013 and resulted in gas shortages along the East Coast of the U.S. Over 100 government agencies around the globe have been hacked within the past year, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, the companies being hacked have no choice but to pay the ransom demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s concerning is that many of the companies know that their cybersecurity needs aren\u2019t being met. In fact, Colonial had a job listing for a cybersecurity manager posted just a week before its attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><strong>Supply and Demand Leads to a Talent War<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already noticed, there\u2019s a talent war going on. According to studies, there are hundreds of thousands of vacancies in cybersecurity around the world. Companies want professionals but can\u2019t find them. It\u2019s only going to create even more problems as attacks become common place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The talent war is a result of simple supply and demand. There\u2019s a significant demand with a shortage in the supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to fill vacancies, you have to recognize that there\u2019s a war happening over the best talent. You have to be willing to pay top dollar and provide a highly sought-after work place. Otherwise, the talent will seek a more lucrative position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><strong>Focus on a Long-Term Solution<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need employees that are capable of working in cybersecurity. Rather than hiring everyone, look at those who can fill some of the entry-level positions. Then, be prepared to invest in education, training, and up-skilling so that you can address the shortage for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you train your existing employees and hire new ones, you can make sure that your business is protected against the various hacks that can take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pros are out there. The question is, do you want to pay them or do you want to develop your own talent?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges \u2014 and for businesses, these challenges persist as we move back towards normality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"brizy-blank-template.php","format":"link","meta":[],"categories":[88,87,85,84,86],"tags":[49],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wanted: Millions of cybersecurity pros.
