2022 Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report

The global 2022 Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report reveals that the cybersecurity skills shortage continues to incur multiple challenges and repercussions for organisations.

A few highlights of the report were:

• 52% of Australia and New Zealand companies have gone through 1-4 security breaches in twelve months.

• 64% of the executives feel a lack of specialised cybersecurity skills poses additional cyber risks.

• 94% of industry leaders from Australia and New Zealand believe technology-focused certifications positively impact their role

The report suggests multiple methods like training and certification to address skill gaps. But when the existing teams are under excessive work pressure, additional training might affect their well-being.
