Talent Shortage

CISO are struggling mightily with finding, recruiting and retaining cybersecurity talent and find themselves increasingly turning to universities for a lifeline, according to Sanjay Beri, CEO of Netskope.

Organizations without sufficient cyber talent struggle with ingesting and operationalizing new products as well as implementing the security tools needed to defend themselves, Beri said. Many organizations lacking proper security hygiene simply need to get talent in place that can implement it, according to Beri.

"There's no shortage of hacker talent, or threats or villains," Beri said. "We need to fill the gap to counter it."
