Phantoms in the Machine: The Unexpected Horror of Layoffs Haunting the Cybersecurity Industry in 2023

“Cybersecurity Industry Layoffs 2023” aren’t some spooky tale but a cold, hard reality. Over 110 firms are making cuts, proving no one’s safe from the economic specter haunting the sector. From Sophos swinging the layoff sword to the curtains falling on IronNet, it’s less of a hacker horror, more a thriller featuring the finance director’s red pen!

Hot Take:

The cybersecurity industry is experiencing a bad case of digital indigestion. Despite the sector being hotter than a laptop running too many Chrome tabs, it seems no one is immune to the economic heartburn of the times. 2023 is turning out to be the year of layoffs, with over 110 cybersecurity firms making cuts. It's a bit like watching a horror movie where the monster isn't some rogue hacker, but the financial director with a red pen. Layoffs, it seems, are the real phantoms in the machine.
