Cyber Training - The Achille's Heal

As the Cybersecurity market continues to expand, technology can only get you so far.

According to the latest annual cybersecurity worker survey by the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), an independent industry analyst firm, the cybersecurity skills shortage has worsened for the third year in a row, impacting nearly 75 percent of surveyed companies.

But 66 percent also said that time constraints make it hard to keep up with evolving cybersecurity skills.
