According to Statistica, the global cost of cybercrime is expected to reach a staggering $24 trillion by 2027. But here’s the catch– while cyber threat skyrocket, the pools of cybersecurity talent remains painfully shallow, leaving companies vulnerable to devastating attacks.
Dave Stapleton, CISO of CyberGRX and ProcessUnity, believes we need to develop cybersecurity talent. In an era of tech layoffs, he suggests nurturing cybersecurity talent from the ground up – hiring entry-level enthusiasts and cultivating their skills through continuous education. Additionally, you’ve got to consider the ongoing education of your existing staff, to further their skills and provide a path for career advancement.
Cyber threat mutate daily and cybersecurity talent is in short supply; continuous learning is not a luxury but a necessity.
However, given the sheer number of training options available, teams can quickly get overwhelmed by the volume and variety of choices. To help streamline the process, we’ve collected 21 excellent cybersecurity training resources to build a savvy team.
