Gaining and retaining security talent is a major headache for almost all security leaders — indeed, the consensus is that the world is suffering under a chronic security skills gap. But most of the evidence for this skills gap is empirical; there is little hard evidence in facts and figures.

The difference between the two figures demonstrates the size of the skills gap in terms of both security specifics and global region.
