Cyber Talent Identification and Assessment

Abstract

It is widely reported that there is a lack of skilled cybersecurity professionals available to fill vacant positions. This information stems directly from industry-insider studies and surveys. For instance, the "2018 Cybersecurity Workforce Study" from the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC) estimates a global shortage of nearly 3 million cybersecurity professionals. Also noteworthy within the study is that 63% of the 1,452 participants reported shortages of cybersecurity staff within their own organizations. Furthermore, most of the respondents believe these workforce deficiencies place their companies at moderate-to-extreme risk of cybersecurity attacks.
