The shortage of cybersecurity professionals has grown to nearly three million globally, with approximately 498,000 openings in North America. In addition, the half-life of technical skills has shrunk to approximately two years. Finding new cybersecurity workers and continually developing their skills is vital for organizations’ data security — and an opportunity for those beginning or progressing their infosec careers. This episode of the Cyber Work podcast is a rebroadcast of a webinar from April, and features Kathleen Hyde, the chair of cybersecurity programs at Champlain College Online, Scott Madsen, CEO at Cingo Solutions, and Henry Harrison, co-founder and CTO at Garrison.
