That may sound dramatic, but it is nevertheless true. The barrage of data breaches, hacking innovations, and financial disruption from cybercrime feels like a literal barrage both by the sheer volume of attacks and the damage they inflict. As hackers become more organized and more corporate in their business approach, those attacks are only going to increase in volume and severity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But as we gear up for another round of clashes in 2018, we need to remember that none of our cybersecurity solutions and protocols would be possible without the InfoSec professionals who deploy and monitor solutions and their effectiveness. But even a rudimentary glance at our professionals indicates that we are in dire straights in the numbers and morale of our InfoSec professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The truth is that cybersecurity jobs throughout the country are perilously understaffed or unstaffed, and it is leaving InfoSec professionals overwhelmed and frustrated. Without a massive change in staffing and training soon, we could be facing a major deficit in our battles against the legions of hackers who mean us harm. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ve gathered a number of statistics from recent leading research and surveys that demonstrate the extent of the staffing issue we\u2019re facing as an industry, and where current trends might be leading if the issue is not fully addressed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, while the exact number of unfilled jobs is unknown, experts do agree on a general range:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>1 Million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the estimate number of currently unfilled cybersecurity jobs, according to Cisco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>1.5 Million to 2 Million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the estimate number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs in 2019, according to Symantec and the ISACA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>40,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the number of cybersecurity jobs that go unfilled each <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkauflin\/2017\/03\/16\/the-fast-growing-job-with-a-huge-skills-gap-cyber-security\/#407a02fc5163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>200,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the number of other cybersecurity-related positions left unfilled. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>30,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the number of employees with specific security skills needed in the U.S., according to a 2010 interview with a government expert. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>1,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014the number of above stated employees in existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>45% <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">of corporations do not have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisomag.com\/45-companies-dont-cybersecurity-leader-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cybersecurity leader<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
