Build (Don’t Buy): A Skills-Based Strategy to Solve the Cybersecurity Talent Shortage

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Emsi has released new research that reveals a major cybersecurity talent shortage in the US. Right now, the nation has less than half the cybersecurity it needs to keep up with ever-increasing demand. For every 100 active job postings, there are a mere 48 qualified candidates.

So how can we solve the cybersecurity talent shortage?

The answer: build, don’t buy. Companies in need of cybersecurity talent should re-skill existing employees, rather than recruit outside their walls for talent that is already extremely hard to get.

In our research, we offer suggestions regarding the following:

  1. Which candidates are ideal for reskilling?
  2. Which skills should companies and regional training and workforce partners develop?

As the US addresses the cybersecurity talent shortage, everyone has a role to play

  • Employers should invest time and money in helping employees acquire cybersecurity microcredentials.
  • Colleges, universities, and other training organizations can focus on the key skills needed at the local or regional level and help upskill the many working adults who might be looking for new employment, plus a generation of new grads hungry for good opportunity in a disrupted labor market.
  • Regions and cities have a vital role in addressing the crisis as they broker between local businesses and higher education to fill the talent gap. Such data will help them address specific regional needs.
