Although the U.S. is in the top tier for educating new cybersecurity workers, the small talent pool is still a significant challenge for industry and government, according to a new survey.
Intel Security, in partnership with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), polled 775 IT cybersecurity decision-makers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Mexico and Israel. The resulting report, “Hacking the Skills Shortage: A Study of the International Shortage in Cyber Skills,” states that 82 percent of the executives said they do not have enough cybersecurity workers, and 71 percent said the shortage is doing direct and measurable damage to their operations.
