The risk of cyberattacks has risen with the increase in digital transformation. However, the dearth of professionals to secure and manage the online world has led to a huge demand for cybersecurity professionals. The world is lacking 3 million cybersecurity professionals, according to the latest report by the World Economic Forum (WEF). “There is an undersupply of cyber professionals—a gap of more than 3 million worldwide who can provide cyber leadership, test and secure systems, and train people in digital hygiene," it said. The evolving and ever dynamic cyber threat environment needs highly agile and up-to-date cyber professionals to protect enterprises. “With a plethora of technologies and evolving domains, finding the right fit is a huge challenge and there is a large demand versus supply gap in the talent market. Structured and planned upskilling of existing cyber teams on selected areas, especially cloud and data security, can help organizations stay ahead of the curve," pointed out Samir Khare, vice president, cybersecurity, APAC, Capgemini.
