Challenges
cybersecurity-
On The Way
While many companies are trying to get the cybersecurity skills that exactly
match
talent/)their needs, they nd it quite challenging to ll the seats. There are
many companies who are investing heavy bucks on training their employees in
cybersecurity, while there are several others who are averse to it. This remains
one of the major challenges.
There is also a lack of training institutes that equips candidates with the
required skills in cybersecurity. There are many institutes now that are
catching up but there is still a visible shortage.

Even with the institutes present, the students or engineers are reluctant to
spend on cybersecurity training and certi cation. The costing of the
programme remains one of the major barriers, despite the fact that most
cybersecurity candidates end up with good employment with good
compensation.
