It is unsurprising that a growing number of companies are now looking to invest in cyber expertise. Last month, the Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2017 indicated that three-quarters of UK businesses state that cybersecurity is a high priority for their senior management.
However, as the price for cyber skills increases, many companies will be priced out of the top talent. For many public sector organisations, for instance, the choice to pay up to 1 million euros to their CISO may directly impact the services that they can offer in their locality. For those organisations that don’t necessarily have the resources to employ such top talent, more effective uses of technology and automation will be key to ensure that they can effectively protect their organisation. Only by automating repetitive security practices will existing IT and security professionals be able to apply themselves to developing a comprehensive security strategy for their organisation.
