Taking skills shortage

Apprenticeships are the solution to attracting more young people into cybersecurity, according to 42.5 percent of respondents to a new Twitter poll run by Infosecurity Europe.

The poll set out to explore current issues around the skills shortage within the sector, particularly within the context of the pandemic.

Responses also highlight the importance of proper support for remote workers – with more than a third believing that sustaining motivation and wellbeing is the greatest skills-related challenge faced by cybersecurity professionals right now.

The information security sector continues to suffer from a shortage of skilled professionals, with more than three million unfilled roles worldwide, according to (ISC)2’s 2020 Cybersecurity Workforce Study. Despite this, 35.9 per cent of the respondents to Infosecurity Europe’s poll say their organisation currently has a hiring freeze on cybersecurity roles.
