Description

Is there really a cybersecurity talent shortage, or are we just looking in all the wrong places? This week on the Shared Security Podcast, we tackle the buzz around the so-called cybersecurity skills gap. Host Tom Eston welcomes Katie Soper, Senior Consultant at Avetix Cyber and co-founder of the CyberVault Podcast, to discuss the challenges and misconceptions in the industry. They explore whether the shortage is a myth, a mismatch, or something else entirely and what companies and professionals can do about it. With insights into hiring practices, skill shortages, and the importance of networking, this episode is a must-listen for anyone in or entering the field of cybersecurity.
