The Elephants in the Technology Room - Part 6

The cybersecurity industry faces a hiring crisis driven by unrealistic job requirements that exclude entry-level candidates, inadequate succession planning for leadership roles, and burnout among current staff. Addressing these structural problems requires rethinking hiring practices and investing in career development pathways.

Why it matters: Security leaders and HR teams need to reform recruitment and retention strategies now: unfilled positions leave organizations understaffed, while talent attrition compounds the shortage.
