Cybersecurity job candidates underqualified, professionals say

The ISACA Cybersecurity Jobs Index reveals a significant increase among cybersecurity professionals who report job candidates not being sufficiently qualified at time of hire.

The index found that 59% of professionals now say fewer than half of their job candidates were considered ‘qualified upon hire’, which is an increase of 9% in just one year. In addition, 27% need six months to fill a cybersecurity position, which is an increase of three points from 2014.

This comes at a time when cybersecurity threats are on the rise, with 76 breaches in APAC in the first six months of 2016. Indeed, Australia is ranked first in data breaches, with NZ taking fourth place.

The average cost of a data breach in Australia is now $3.46 million, with the main industries affected being financial (2%), education (1%), health care (30%), government (57%) and other industries (35%). For the full article click here
