The Cybersecurity Skills Gap: Is it Real? | Cybrary Limited Series

"There's not enough cyber talent." "If I train my employees, they'll leave for better jobs." "We need to find a unicorn - only candidates with 30 years of AWS experience should apply." This episode of the Cybrary Podcast is packed with long-debated and controversial topics, from skill gaps in organizations, to upskilling employees, and even misconceptions from management on who should be hired.

​

 Cybrary's Chief Product Officer, Trevor Halstead, and CEO, Ryan Corey sit down with Naomi Buckwalter, Director of Information Security & Privacy at Energage and Ron Gula, President and Co-Founder at Gula Tech Adventures to bring into view mind-blowing stats from Cybrary's newest survey report. Some big hitters touched on by our panelists are diversity (or the lack of it) in cybersecurity, having a skills growth mindset, using cybersecurity as a business enabler, and in a current/post-pandemic world, the criticality of IT and it's role in cybersecurity.
