" From professional backgrounds to competitive salaries – a study delves into what it takes to build strong cybersecurity teams.
Cybersecurity professionals are in high demand, but in low supply, the 2019 (ISC) Cybersecurity Workforce Study finds. In fact, the supply is so low that it needs to grow by an estimated 145 percent to fill the estimated 4.07 million gap. The United States alone needs growth of 62% to meet the needs of its businesses.
Most participants of the study work in the IT services industry, followed by financial services and government. These professionals come from diverse backgrounds since cybersecurity is a young specialization, but most are likely to have a bachelor’s degree. A majority have degrees in computer science but one in five has an engineering background while a small number has a business degree. There are many paths to get into cybersecurity and not all of them require a university specialization, some are self-taught."
