ThreatX surveyed 2,000 consumers in the US and UK about the cybersecurity skills gap – to get their thoughts on its causes and effects.
In this episode, Gene and ThreatX Field CISO Jeremy Ventura analyze the results, including:
- 62% reported that if they or their child had more education around cybersecurity in school, they would have considered entering the field.
- 90% reported that they are concerned about the future of cybersecurity if more isn’t done at an earlier stage to expose students to the field.
- 78% are under the impression that a college degree is necessary to pursue a career in cybersecurity, and 67% thought a career in cybersecurity should be achievable through certifications or apprenticeships versus a 4-year+ college degree.
- 52% say engaging students of all backgrounds earlier in STEM/cybersecurity courses it will help minimize the talent shortage among the cybersecurity industry.
