Layoffs Mean Room for Incidents
In the face of economic headwinds, many companies are resorting to layoffs to help weather the storm. A study by Bloomberg News has found that since October 1, 2022 almost half a million employees worldwide across sectors have lost their jobs, with the tech sector accounting for nearly 150,000 of the 473,000 jobs cut. And new research by HackerOne found that in the last 12 months, 39% of companies surveyed have made security headcount cuts, and 40% plan to make then in the next 12 months.
