Cracking the Code: The Real Crisis in Cybersecurity Jobs, It’s Not a Numbers Game!

In the “Information Security Jobs Crisis,” it’s not about vacant seats, but about finding the right bums for the high-level chairs. This isn’t your kiddie game of musical chairs; we’re playing with complex coding algorithms and specific skills. It’s a crisis of quality, not quantity, and no six-month boot camp can resolve it.

Hot Take:

It's not that there are millions of vacant cybersecurity positions lounging around. The reality is more like a game of musical chairs where the music is a complex coding algorithm, and the chairs are actually high-level, specialist roles. The chairs don't want any old bum seated on them, they're looking for the crème de la crème of coders, threat hunters, and incident responders. So, it's not that we don't have enough people, it's that we don't have enough of the right people with the right skills.
