Summary
The ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study reveals a pivotal shift in the cybersecurity field, where skill deficiencies have overtaken headcount concerns as the primary issue facing organizations. The survey of over 16,000 cybersecurity professionals found that 59% reported significant skills shortages, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence and cloud security. This highlights an urgent need for healthcare organizations to focus on developing specialized skills within their teams to effectively combat cybersecurity threats. As the hiring market stabilizes, addressing these skills gaps is essential for maintaining robust cybersecurity practices and protecting sensitive patient data.
