The skills gap remains a significant issue within the cyber industry.

A recent study by Security Brief UK revealed that "71% of organisations have been impacted by the cyber security skills shortage, an increase from the 57% reported previously. This has resulted in heavier workloads for cyber security teams (61%), unfulfilled job vacancies (49%), and elevated staff burnout rates (43%)."
