Cybercrime is evolving faster than most organizations can hire.
While security threats multiply, the global talent pool of cybersecurity professionals can’t keep up. The result? A massive talent gap that’s endangering businesses of all sizes and putting immense pressure on internal IT teams.
The Statistics Don’t Lie: Businesses Are Understaffed and Under Attack
According to (ISC)², the global cybersecurity workforce gap has reached 4 million professionals, a record high. In the U.S. alone, over 500,000 cybersecurity positions remain unfilled. Meanwhile, cyberattacks are rising 38% year-over-year, with no signs of slowing down.
And the impact? It’s already costing companies millions.
According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach has surged to $4.88 million, a 10% increase from the previous year. But the financial hit is only part of the story.
- 83% of organizations have experienced more than one data breach, highlighting a troubling trend of recurring vulnerabilities.
- On average, it takes 194 days to identify a breach and an additional 64 days to contain it and a total of 258 days during which sensitive data may be exposed or exploited.
Businesses are under siege, yet lack the people to defend themselves.
Why This Should Concern You
If you are:
- Delaying compliance efforts because you can’t find a qualified expert
- Overworking your IT team because there’s no SOC analyst
- Vulnerable to ransomware due to unmonitored endpoints
Then you’re operating on borrowed time.
The Problem? Hiring Is Broken.
Finding a cybersecurity expert who is qualified, vetted, and available is becoming increasingly rare. The average cybersecurity role remains open for months. Salary demands are skyrocketing. Internal recruiters are not equipped to screen for technical proficiency.
