Even though the cybersecurity skill gap dropped for the first time in recorded history in 2020, it is still one of the most pressing problems in the industry. Demand continues to eclipse the supply of skilled cybersecurity professionals. The scarcity of qualified security workers with the right skill set, experience, and talent means that critical vulnerabilities turn many organizations into sitting ducks in the eyes of hackers.

Year over year, organizations onboard new technologies to improve their cybersecurity posture, yet data breaches are still on the rise. The root cause of data breaches is people. In fact, 85% of data breaches today are caused by human error. Employees have access and control to the business’ most sensitive systems and data.

Think of the software supply chain as every software element in your organization—from software development of internal systems to open source or third-party enterprise software to vendors, partners, and even past suppliers who still hold access to company data or IT systems. Attacks on this software supply chain can damage individual departments, organizations, or entire industries by targeting and attacking insecure elements of your software fabric.

Can you really build a cloud-native SOC? As more organizations adopt cloud-native and cloud-hosted technologies, what do security teams and security practitioners need to consider when it comes to the SOC and cloud security?

We’ve all heard about cyberattacks on corporations, but when those attacks go after critical infrastructure, such as the energy grid, it can affect every person in the country.

The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, even more so in the past decade, with technological revolutions changing the core of the cybersecurity industry. With new emerging technologies, machine learning, security automation, and AI are slowly but surely becoming a reality in the cybersecurity world. But as the cybersecurity landscape continues and redefines the roles of security workers, which logically begs the question - what does this mean for security professionals?
