Wanted: Millions of cybersecurity pros. Salary: Whatever you want
… The takeaway from such security breaches, according to experts, is that it's high time for companies to start investing in robust controls and, in particular, adding cybersecurity professionals to their teams.
The only hitch: There's a massive, longstanding labor shortage in the cybersecurity industry.
"It's a talent war," said Bryan Orme, principal at GuidePoint Security. "There's a shortage of supply and increased demand."
