Emerging Cybersecurity Training Priorities in a COVID-19-Impacted Business Landscape
Other Ways Business Operations Affected
Businesses Are Facing Serious Cybersecurity-Related Issues
While there are numerous challenges to the flow of business itself, the rapid shift to an all-digital workplace has brought with it a host of specific cybersecurity challenges. As staff shifted their ways of working, business was suddenly conducted in arguably less secure environments with increasing unknowns and reliance on new technologies. For example, some three in four members have had to address disruptive issues related to: video conferencing; business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR); remote monitoring andmanagement (RMM); cloud systems; phishing attacks; ransomware, e-commerce and payment fraud, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, andmore. While the host of issues related to cybersecurity grow increasingly complex, new data from CyberSeek has revealed that the supply of cybersecurity workers nationally has remained very low, with the ratio of existing cybersecurity workers to cybersecurity job openings at just 1:8 (compared to 3:7 across all jobs, nationally). The growing skills gap is an inherent threat to the cybersecurity landscape.
