Learn How the Cybersecurity Workforce Gap Has Decreased in (ISC)²'s Latest Study and Webinar

[AndreaMoore]

(ISC)² released its latest findings in the 2020 Cybersecurity Workforce Study. 

The study reveals that the cybersecurity profession experienced substantial growth in its global ranks, increasing to 3.5 million individuals currently working in the field, an addition of 700,000 professionals or 25% more than last year’s workforce estimate. The research also indicates a corresponding decrease in the global workforce shortage, now down to 3.12 million from the 4.07 million shortage reported last year. 

In addition to outlining the workforce numbers themselves, the study goes into detail about how the survey and the gap calculation model were designed. It also proposes several steps that organizations should consider in order to expand their addressable talent pool when searching for highly sought-after cybersecurity talent.
