And it’s a problem that won’t be going away soon, said Alan Reyes, Fortinet’s Philippines country manager. “The cybersecurity skills gap remains a formidable challenge, and it’s a challenge that is likely to persist in the foreseeable future,” Reyes said. As companies struggle to fill up positions, 84% of enterprises surveyed in the report have experienced one or more breaches in the past 12 months, while companies that report five or more breaches in a year have jumped by 53% between 2021 and 2022.What can be done?

The top five most needed cybersecurity skills, according to the report, from highest to lowest, are cloud security for securing operations based on cloud services; cyberthreat intelligence for knowledge on potential threats; malware analysis; secure system operations for facilitating cyber-safe environments between IT cybersecurity and IT operations teams; and essential cybersecurity foundations.
