(ISC)2 Study Reveals How Companies Overcome Cybersecurity Hiring Challenges


CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISC)² ? the world's largest nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals ? today announced the findings of its Building a Resilient Cybersecurity Culture study, in which it found that a strong security-focused culture and adherence to best practices helps companies attract and retain cybersecurity talent. (ISC)2 commissioned the study to better understand how successful organizations are overcoming the shortage of skilled cybersecurity talent in a demand-heavy, competitive recruitment environment.

"The growing cybersecurity workforce gap has received a lot of media attention. What we haven't heard as much about is how some companies are actually succeeding in building their security teams even in the face of this competition for talent. Our empirical analysis shows the demonstrable effect cybersecurity leaders can achieve by fostering a strong cybersecurity culture," said (ISC)² Director of Cybersecurity Advocacy for North America John McCumber. "The human factors of information security are most effectively accessed, developed, and employed by organizations with this critical professional leadership. This new report provides a window into how this gap can be leveraged by individuals and organizations alike to dramatically improve the protection and management of critical information assets."

The data is based on a survey of 250 U.S. cybersecurity professionals with oversight of hiring and managing security departments, who say their organization does an adequate job of ensuring it has enough cybersecurity expertise on staff. Key insights from the study include:
