In the digital transformation era, organisations face a significant challenge: a growing divide between cyber resilient and cyber vulnerable companies. A significant contributor widening this divide is the global shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals. 

In 2024, the world requires 4.8 million cyber specialists to protect digital assets, with a 19% increase in demand compared to the previous year. The high demands on cybersecurity professionals, their adaptation to the latest technologies and methodologies and the widening gap between secure and vulnerable companies require increased investment in training and development. According to ISC, the shortage of skilled professionals is growing, increasing the overall risk to organizations.
