Unfortunately, this is the conservative estimate; it could be over 3 million unfilled jobs. This is essentially the summation of the continual cybersecurity staffing crisis provoking no end of anxiety among enterprises and cybersecurity professionals alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/carbon-black-gartner-magic-quadrant-for-endpoint-protection-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/files\/2019\/01\/2018-carbon-black-gartner-speedbump.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Gartner 2018 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even with innovations in machine learning, enterprises will still need human intelligence to make sense of their security correlations and alerts. No AI can replace human ability. Compounding the problem, a recent survey by Intel found a skills shortage can make enterprises more vulnerable to cyber-crime and digital damage. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, female cybersecurity professionals only constitute 11% of the cybersecurity workforce. Most experts believe the two crises are interrelated; excluding female cybersecurity professionals translates into ignoring and neglecting half of the population\u2019s technical talent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why should your enterprise hire more female cybersecurity professionals? And how can you retain them? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Stop Dreading Burnout <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most notorious problems in cybersecurity staffing is burnout. Information security is one of the most stressful job fields in the current marketplace: it requires 24\/7 vigilance and constant investigations into possible security threats and dealing with employee slip-ups and negligence. It\u2019s exhausting work. The high turnover rate is understandable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, with the cybersecurity staffing crisis, each burned out employee is its own logistical nightmare. Simply finding another cybersecurity professional is no small feat. Actively seeking out more female cybersecurity professionals can help broaden your search and bring more talent into your enterprise. The more talent at your disposal, the less likely your team will suffer individual burnout as the workload is more equitably distributed. Furthermore, every departure will hurt less with more talent on hand to cushion the blow. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Diverse Professionals Create Comprehensive Solutions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cybersecurity notably lacks diversity. The homogeneity of cybersecurity professionals is actively detrimental to protecting the decidedly non-homogenous population of your employees and customers. Users can and will act in diverse ways based on any number of factors. If your cybersecurity team is decidedly similar in their backgrounds, they may not recognize the full scope of possible user behaviors and thus not know what to fortify. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having more diverse voices contributing as you design your enterprise\u2019s cybersecurity platform means having a more accommodating and ultimately more secure solution overall. Having more women is a strong first step to bringing more diverse voices into the process. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Gain New Skills in Your Security Teams<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seeking out female cybersecurity professionals female cybersecurity professionals will help you broaden your understanding of the skills your security team needs to function optimally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s easy to believe your security team only requires technical STEM skills, an academic field with its own diversity problems due to the patriarchal exclusion of women. However, focusing only on technical skills misses out on other vital skills your security team needs; analytic abilities, teamwork, communication, and leadership are all just as important as technical ability. Looking for more diverse professionals can also open you to what can be gleaned from other fields of study. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security is as much a human problem as it is a technical problem. Don\u2019t neglect the former for the latter. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s what female cybersecurity professionals can offer your security team. But what can you offer them? How do you retain female cybersecurity professionals? According to experts and female cybersecurity professionals, it all comes down to your enterprise&#8217;s environment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Stamp Out Sexual Harassment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While sexual harassment in the cybersecurity field hasn\u2019t been formally documented, it&#8217;s a well-known problem both at industry conferences and in security team offices in enterprises around the world. Many who suffer don\u2019t come forward for fear reporting harassment will damage their career and invite online harassment. Many fear they won\u2019t be believed at all. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a leaf from Jane Frankland\u2019s (founder of the IN Security Movement and Cyber Security Capital Managing Director) book and establish a strong code of conduct in your security team offices. Outline exactly who is the point of contact for harassment complaints, a solid timeline for handling these complaints, and what the consequences are for engaging in harassing behaviors. Make sure employees know what is unacceptable behavior either during or outside work hours, and enforce a zero-tolerance environment for harassment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above all, follow up. Words without action are meaningless. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Fair Treatment for Fair Work <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s a sad fact but true that women are still statistically paid less than their male counterparts in nearly every industry. The pattern holds for cybersecurity as well: female cybersecurity professionals are paid less and promoted less than male cybersecurity professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To create a more accommodating environment for female cybersecurity professionals, make fairness a core value. Stop making excuses for patriarchal practices. Find what\u2019s making your workplace inequitable and correct them. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>It All Comes Down to You <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The above subtitle might seem aggressive as if we\u2019re placing the entire burden of the patriarchal substructures inherent to cybersecurity on you. But the thing is that it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> somewhat on you and your enterprise. We\u2019re all a part of the system, and thus we are all somewhat complicit in perpetuating these problems. Only by deliberate action can we correct the injustices and solve the discrepancies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t just think of hiring more female cybersecurity professionals as a smart business decision (although it is clearly that as well). Think of it part of your social responsibility as an enterprise. Funnily enough, once your enterprise starts taking social responsibility, you\u2019ll find a new level of success follows. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Other Resources:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/top-15-women-in-cybersecurity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Top 15 Women in Cybersecurity and InfoSec Today<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/focus-the-desperate-shortage-of-women-in-cyber-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In Focus: The Desperate Shortage of Women in Cyber Security<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/gartners-2018-magic-quadrant-for-endpoint-protection-platforms-epp-whats-changed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gartner\u2019s 2018 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP): What\u2019s Changed?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/4-tips-endpoint-security-solutions-everyone-forgets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Tips For Endpoint Security Solutions (That Everyone Forgets)<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/comparing-the-top-endpoint-security-vendors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Comparing the Top Endpoint Security Vendors \u2014 Solutions Review<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/answering-top-4-enterprise-endpoint-security-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Answering the Top 4 Enterprise Endpoint Security Questions<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/can-expect-future-of-endpoint-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Can We Expect for the Future of Endpoint Security?<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/endpoint-security-vendors-to-watch-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Six Endpoint Security Vendors to Watch in 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/the-25-best-endpoint-security-platforms-and-tools-of-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 25 Best Endpoint Security Platforms and Tools of 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"#\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/files\/2019\/01\/endpoint-security-speedbump-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Endpoint Security Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By 2022, the marketplace will face a shortfall of nearly 2 million cybersecurity professionals.
