Cyber security is a top priority for the world’s largest companies including Alphabet, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, which have all made huge investments in developing the field. However, even with billions of dollars allotted for cyber, all the world’s largest companies struggle with the same problem: an inability to hire skilled cybersecurity employees.
In fact, according to a study by the nonprofit cybersecurity association, (ISC)2, there is a worldwide gap of 3.4 million cybersecurity workers and the gap is growing faster than the workforce. This gap significantly reduces the effectiveness of cybersecurity efforts that are necessary to protect organizations from attacks.
“Cyber is warfare,” said Yigal Unna, the president of the Israel Cyber Campus, which was established to address this skill gap. “Cyber employees are warriors. They need to face real-life adversity and train to be warriors just like warriors train in judo.”
