Bridging the Cybersecurity Skills Gap

As technology usage expands across the globe, so too does the threat landscape and the number of attackers looking to disrupt services and steal data for financial gain. As a result, there is a greater need than ever for qualified cybersecurity professionals that have the abilities necessary to detect and mitigate potentially damaging threats.
However, as many in the technology industry are aware, there is a severe lack of qualified professionals who can fill the jobs in place to prevent data breaches. In fact, according to recent ISACA data, “there will be a global shortage of two million cybersecurity professionals by 2019.”
Statistics like these have caused organizations and individuals to take action. Fortinet is one such organization that’s put programs in place to help fill these voids and, at the same time, help others along the way. The FortiVet program is working to bridge the gap between the supply of veterans looking for post-service work and the need for qualified professionals across the cybersecurity industry.
