The cybersecurity industry is facing an increasingly widening skills gap that has left many organizations even more vulnerable to breaches. According to a recent Fortinet-commissioned study, conducted by MaritzCX, 73% of respondents reported having had at least one intrusion or breach over the past year that can be directly attributed to a shortage in available cybersecurity talent. And as infrastructures become even more distributed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with a large percentage of the workforce now working from home, governments and businesses must work to close the skills gap to effectively secure these networks.
