Listen "Automation and the cybersecurity skills gap"
Episode Synopsis
The cybersecurity industry faces an ongoing -- and some say worsening -- skills gap.
Both the private and public sectors need more skilled security professionals, as more operations go online. And there is only so much the education system, or training within the business, can do to solve the problem.
So do we need to rethink how cybersecurity operates? Perhaps it is time for the industry to undergo its own digital transformation, and look at automation to take the load off human professionals.
Our guest is Marie Wilcox, board director at the Chartered Institute of Information Security and also security evangelist at Panaseer.
