Building And Energizing Your Cybersecurity Workforce6/22/2018
It’s becoming more difficult to identify and attract cybersecurity talent in the workplace. The 2017 Global Information Security Workforce Study (GISWS) by Frost & Sullivan suggests that the cybersecurity workforce gap is on pace to hit 1.8 million by 2022, a 20 percent increase from 2015 forecasts. According to the report, 68 percent of survey respondents in North America believe there are too few cybersecurity workers in their department, and a majority believes that it is a result of a lack of qualified personnel. The GISWS study also revealed that nearly 40 percent of healthcare hiring managers are looking to increase their workforces by 15 percent or more this year. In the face of these demands, hospitals and healthcare organizations may want to consider more creative strategies to ensure they have a pipeline of competent talent in the months and years to come. Here are some strategic ways healthcare IT leaders can identify potential internal talent to upskill, recruit quality talent externally and cultivate cybersecurity skills across their workforce.
