The "war on cyber talent" has raged worldwide for years. Almost a third of organizations say it takes over six months to fill cybersecurity vacancies, and 62% report understaffing. The latest estimates show a cybersecurity talent gap of 2.7 million workers. The World Economic Forum (WEF) warned, "In the context of widespread dependency on increasingly complex digital systems, growing cyberthreats are outpacing societies' ability to effectively prevent and manage them." We are facing the greatest threat of cyber failure. Lucia Milică Stacy, VP and Global Resident CISO at Proofpoint, will explain how these mounting cyber risks threaten business resilience and the global commercial, financial, geopolitical, and social turbulence further intensify the impact on businesses. She will demonstrate that maintaining cyber and overall business flexibility in this uncertain environment is about your people. Your industry no longer defines your competition. The cyber-skill shortage is so widespread that every place that hires cyber talent now meets you on the employment battlefield. When you are fighting for the same limited people resources as your competitors, you must be creative. Salary alone no longer attracts new employees and motivates any employee to stay with you. They have multiple opportunities awaiting them elsewhere. There is no easy fix for the cyber crisis, but the solution to boosting the strength of your business comes down to your people. If you are not creating a positive culture that attracts, nurtures, and keeps top talent, addressing your cyber vulnerabilities will become even more daunting.
