Cisco is tackling the cybersecurity skills shortage head on by offering a $10 million Global Cybersecurity Scholarship Program and improvements to its security certification portfolio.
Cisco says that despite the ever-growing need for cybersecurity protection, there will be a shortage of two million skilled cybersecurity professionals by 2019. To fill the gap, Cisco is encouraging up to 10,000 cybersecurity candidates to step forward.
