Cybersecurity Skill Shortage Reaches Critical Levels

The global cybersecurity skill shortage has reached critical levels, leaving organizations without enough trained professionals to defend against sophisticated threats. This talent gap slows incident response, reduces monitoring efficiency, and increases overall vulnerability. Companies are investing in automation, AI-driven security tools, and upskilling programs to reduce reliance on scarce expertise. Academic institutions and training organizations are also expanding cybersecurity curricula, but experts warn that demand is rising faster than the pipeline of skilled workers.
