New research from ISACA shows that businesses are facing increased risk from the cyber skills gap.
The report comes in light of the fact that Europe is currently facing a shortage of between 260,000 to 500,000 skilled cybersecurity workers, and with cyberattacks fast becoming a daily occurrence for businesses, the report shows that over three-quarters (78%) of security leaders believe most organizations are under-reporting the attacks they experience.
With over half (52%) of organizations experiencing more cyberattacks than last year, it has never been more important to have a robust cyber defense. However, 62% of leaders in the cybersecurity field say that their teams are understaffed, and only an astounding 41% have a high level of confidence in their teams ability to handle cyber threats.
